That makes him just slightly smaller than his co-star Tyler who is 6ft 6inches.

What happened to Tom Clare in series 9 and who was he on with?

Tom entered as the handsome bombshell in his series causing all the girls to turn their heads. However, in the end, it was Samie Elishi who captured his heart and who he left with. They came in third place.

Sadly, things didn't end well for the couple as they split pretty soon after the final. And to make things even more awkward, Tom has said "things have been said" making their breakup somewhat messy.

In 2023, Tom was also in the villa with Casey O'Gorman, Olivia Hawkins, Ron Hall, Lana Jenkins and winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan.
