EXCLUSIVE: Love Island’s Casey O’Gorman splits from Rosie Seabrook just TWO weeks after being thrown out of villa
Love Island contestant Casey O’Gorman has split from Rosie Seabrook just two weeks after the couple were dumped at the villa.
The former islanders, who appeared together during the filming of the Love Island Reunion show on Sunday, have already parted ways despite telling host Maya Jama that they planned to date and explore their blossoming romance.
Casey dramatically ended his relationship with Claudia Fogarty to pursue his feelings for Rosie during her stint on the ITV2 series.
Claudia was left heartbroken and has since opened up about being ‘rejected’ by Casey, 26, who was part of the ‘three musketeers’ along with fellow islanders Tom Clare and Will Young, and often preferred to spend time with the boys instead of potential girlfriends.
They are the first couple from the winter series to break up, after Sanam Harrinanan and Kai Fagan won the show last week, taking home the £50,000 prize.

A source told MailOnline: “It was clear from the moment they left the villa that Casey and Rosie weren’t going to last.
“They have made no effort to spend time together outdoors or go on dates to really get to know each other and they both agreed it was best to call it quits while they went ahead.”
Confirming their split on Instagram, Casey said Tuesday: ‘Rosie and I have talked… she’s a great girl. Life outside the village is very different and we will remain friends in the future.”
He was responding to a fan who asked during an Instagram Q&A what the couple are like.
Their breakup comes after Claudia, 28, exclusively told MailOnline that Casey had messaged her to catch up and see how she was doing after the couple left the villa on bad terms.
He was surprised to hear that Casey had been talking about their time together on the show, hinting that he might have gone further in the competition if he had stayed with Claudia.
She said: ‘He actually texted me last week just to see how I’m doing.
‘When I look back, I think we probably weren’t that well matched, and we wouldn’t have worked abroad. I will definitely be friends with him.
During the Love Island reunion on Sunday, Casey explained that she hadn’t spent much time with Rosie since she returned to the UK, but her plan was to go on their first date on Tuesday.
However, Casey confirmed the end of his romance with Rosie on Instagram today, saying: “Life outside the villa is very different and we’ll still be friends in the future.”

I’m over it now, but I saw him say something about not wanting to stay in a fake relationship and it kind of pissed me off because I was like, oh gosh, was this a fake relationship?
“He said, ‘if I had stayed with Claudia, we would have gone a lot further in the competition’ and I was thinking, was he just someone for you to stay on the show longer?
Now it’s all water under the bridge and I hope when you see it it’s all civilized. It was a difficult situation that he handled incorrectly, but now I have no hard feelings towards him.”
During the Love Island reunion on Sunday, Casey explained that she hadn’t spent much time with Rosie since she returned to the UK, but her plan was to go on their first date on Tuesday.
He said: ‘It’s all a bit overwhelming when you come back. We have an appointment on Tuesday, so I’m looking forward to it.
‘We spent the week…it was a bit overwhelming, and we wanted to spend quality time with friends and family, but now we’re going to spend some time together.
“There’s a lot of pressure for people to see us as a couple and in a relationship, but we’re not at that stage yet and we want to take it a little slower.”
