Casey O’Gorman, the winner of Love Island: All Stars, has revealed his love life like never before and that he hasn’t had a girlfriend since leaving the series.
He’s been in the Love Island villa three times, has one of the show’s most iconic bromances under his belt, and even walked away a winner, but Casey O’Gorman admits he’s still waiting for love.
In an exclusive interview, the fan-favourite Islander opens up like never before – talking marathons, villa secrets, and why despite his high-profile split from Gabby Allen, he hasn’t had a girlfriend since leaving the show. “I haven’t been in a relationship since the villa,” Casey tells us with refreshing honesty. “That probably says something.”
It’s a surprising confession from the Love Island : All Stars winner, whose chemistry with Gabby was a highlight of the recent All Stars series. But after their split earlier this year – described at the time as “amicable” – Casey’s love life has taken a back seat. Instead, he’s focused on fitness, friendship, and figuring out what comes next.

He claims that “I guess I’ve been setting everything else at priority.” Not that I don’t want a relationship, I mean it. I’m open to love, but this chapter is what I’m enjoying right now.
And what a chapter it is. Casey’s latest passion? Running marathons—and he’s not doing it half-heartedly. “I’m training for the Australian marathon right now,” he reveals. “It’s on August 31st, so not long to go. My last one was a bit chaotic because it was right after I came out of the villa. This time, I’ve got structure, a routine, and I’m eating properly. I’m all in.”
He may be more known for dramatic recouplings than race-day prep, but Casey insists the discipline of marathon training has kept him grounded. “After Ibiza last week and my brother’s wedding, I needed a reset,” he laughs. “This is the perfect focus.”
Still, he’s not lost his sense of humour. Asked if he’d go to extreme lengths for cash after, as part of a recent Tango campaign, Casey didn’t hesitate: “I honestly think I’d jump in the Thames for £10k. Shaving my head? Maybe, but only for charity. I’ve had this hair forever!”
Casey’s journey through Love Island has been anything but typical. Appearing across three different seasons, including his winning stint on All Stars, he says it wasn’t about redemption – it was about being real.
He insists that “I didn’t go back to alter public opinion.” I merely desired viewers to see who I really am. I fully displayed my personality when I last entered. After meeting Gabby, I immediately felt very at ease being myself.
Still, he’s quick to admit the real win wasn’t romance. It was friendship. “Meeting Tom in my original series changed everything,” Casey says of villa best mate Tom Clare. “We had a proper bromance, and moving in together after the show helped me figure out my next steps. That friendship meant more than anything.”
Could he one day become Tom’s best friend? I’d love that, I think! However, they have not yet discussed marriage. “Fingers crossed”
Casey explained how some of the villa’s internal workings aren’t exactly what we see on screen, to the delight of fans. Those who say, “I have a text!” Moments ? He reveals that sometimes things are planned and sometimes not. Nothing happens when they tell us to bring our phones out. The text occasionally truly surprises us.
Some men have to edit their speeches because they stutter. Beyond the 45 minutes that are broadcast on television, it is far more.
One thing that never changes is true? The drama of challenges in love and hate. The “Kissing Challenge” is a classic. You are blindfolded, there is no conversation, and all you get is a kiss. And “Snog, Marry, Pie” always has a good time. Never get old by poking someone in the face.
While many Love Island stars have gone on to do other reality shows, Casey would like to follow in their footsteps. “I’d love to do Strictly Come Dancing,” he says, laughing. “Even though I can’t dance to save my life. Or something like The Traitors or SAS: Who Dares Wins. I’m definitely open to being back on TV—just not Love Island again. I’ve done my bit!”
Additionally, he has ambitious marathon goals. I want to finish each of my seven majors. Chicago, Boston, Tokyo, and Berlin… Despite having a big dream, I’m still committed.
Casey claims dating after Love Island has been more challenging despite fans tuning into his DMs and millions of viewers watching his every move. “People assume you have endless options, but I believe it’s getting harder now. You must wonder if people are fans of you or the television version you saw.
So where does he think he’ll meet his future partner? “Maybe running next to me in Sydney,” he says with a grin. “Could be Australia, America, who knows? I’m open.”
Casey has plenty of advice for the incoming wave of hopefuls with three tours of the villa to go. Avoid getting too drunk at parties, enjoy the attention, and have a plan. Know what you want, whether it’s using social media, returning to work, or something else. My direct DMs are always available. I’m here if anyone with advice needs.
Casey claims he wouldn’t change a thing despite the ups and downs. “I’ve had such a positive experience,” she said. I haven’t even watched the previous seasons. I want to live them in my own style in the future. He still understands that being famous doesn’t make you immune to criticism. Even the most devoted people will always hate you, according to the saying. You simply need to ignore it.
