Love Island star Samie Elishi has criticised Tom Clare for sharing a public break-up statement while she was facing up to the fact she may have cancer. The 23 year old favourite, who came third place on this year's winter edition of the show with her now ex-boyfriend, said she "could have done without" the Barnsley-born footballer's Instagram story. Tom, who shared the statement confirming he and Samie had chosen to part ways after barely a month outside of the villa, said he was "gutted it's come to an end but I truly wish Samie the best" earlier this week.
A day later, Samie posted a slimmed-down Instagram story of her own, where she said she wasn't "ready" to share the full story of what had happened yet. She released a 17-minute YouTube video on Friday 28 April, to explain why they'd split. In the often emotional footage, the reality TV star explained that Tom's statement had come on the day she was undergoing tests on a lump in her neck, that was spotted by eagle-eyed Love Island viewers noticing it on the show.
In the video, which saw Samie go into detail about her health scare and the things that led to it, she also shared the reasons why she and Tom had decided to split up. "I'm gonna be fine. I'm a strong strong girl," the star said with a teary smile.
"But yeah it [the video] was just clearing up a few things. "I didn't think it was right to, well I wasn't in the right headspace to be posting my story about why me and Tom broke up. She continued: "I thought me and Tom were on the same page with it but obviously he felt the need to post a story on the specific day when I was getting all my tests done, which didn't help.
