Love Island All Stars viewers were left in disbelief after contestant Casey O’Gorman fiercely denied joining the ITV reality series for a third time in pursuit of fame.
The debate unfolded on Monday night’s episode following a tense game where islanders were asked which couple had entered the villa for clout.
Casey Called Out During ‘To Be Honest’ Game
During Sunday’s installment of Love Island All Stars, contestants played a revealing game of To Be Honest, where they were challenged to give their unfiltered opinions.
When posed with the question, “Which couple entered the villa for clout?”
Harriet Blackmore, 24, and Ronnie Vint, 28, didn’t hesitate to call out Casey, 28, as their choice.
The accusation didn’t sit well with Casey, who is currently coupled up with Love Island alum Gabby Allen. He immediately fired back, defending his reasons for returning to the show.
“I just want what my friends have on the outside,” Casey insisted, pushing back against claims that he was only in the villa for publicity.
Casey’s History on Love Island Sparks Backlash
Casey has been a familiar face in the Love Island franchise, having previously appeared on the show multiple times.
His history with the series has led many to speculate about his true intentions. While he insists he’s now looking for a serious relationship, his past connections on the show tell a different story.
Casey first made his debut in 2023, where he was coupled up with Lana Jenkins, Claudia Fogarty, and Rosie Seabrook.
His return for Love Island All Stars saw him linked with Kaz Kamwi and Eve Gale before his latest pairing with Gabby Allen.
Given this track record, it’s not surprising that many fans and fellow contestants remain skeptical of his motives.
Fans Take to Social Media to Weigh In
Despite Casey’s passionate defense, Love Island All Stars viewers weren’t convinced. Fans took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to voice their opinions, with many calling out his repeated appearances on the show.
One user wrote:
“I’m not a clout chaser’ CASEY YOU HAVE BEEN ON THREE DIFFERENT SEASONS OF LOVE ISLAND, that’s the literal definition of a clout chaser!”
Another fan questioned his reasoning for joining the villa once again:
“Casey, why’d you need to come into the villa a third time to ‘find a connection’? You don’t want what Tom & Molly have, you want the clout they have.”
Others were equally blunt in their skepticism:
“Casey really wants us to believe he came on the show three times for love and not for clout… he must think we’re dumb.”
“Casey has been on this show three times and is also on Made In Chelsea—of course he’s a clout chaser!”
Even Maya Jama Seemingly Throws Shade
Adding to the controversy, even host Maya Jama seemed to question Casey’s stance. During Monday night’s episode, as she prepared to announce who would be leaving the villa, she cheekily remarked to Casey, “I wouldn’t blame you, because it is a nice holiday.”
The comment didn’t go unnoticed by fans, who saw it as subtle shade suggesting that Casey’s repeated appearances on the show might not be solely about finding love.
Is Casey Genuinely Searching for Love?
While Casey maintains that he is looking for something serious, his reputation within the Love Island universe suggests otherwise. His history of dating multiple contestants and reappearing in different seasons has led to doubts about his true intentions.
Whether he genuinely hopes to find lasting love or simply enjoys the reality TV lifestyle, one thing is certain—fans aren’t buying his defense.
As the season unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Casey can prove them wrong or if he will continue to face accusations of chasing clout.
What do you think? Is Casey truly in the villa for love, or is he just enjoying his time in the spotlight? Let us know your thoughts!
