Congratulations are in order for Love Island power-couple Tom Clare and Molly Smith, who have announced their engagement.
Taking to Instagram this morning (4 Sept), Tom shared a snap with his new fiancé on the beach, captioned: "SHE SAID YES!!!".
The couple first met on the second All Stars spin-off of the much-loved reality TV show last year, which saw former stars returning to screens in the hope of a second chance at romance.
Manchester beauty Molly had first appeared on the show in 2020, where she famously met ex-beau Callum Jones, from whom she split in late 2023. Barnsley boy Tom, meanwhile, appeared on the 2023 series, leaving the show with now former flame Samie Elishi.

In their latest social media upload, 26-year-old footballer Tom can be seen holding fitness influencer Molly, 31, in his arms, having arranged an intimate beach-side proposal in Dubai.
Almost as if she knew it was coming, the blonde beauty wore a satin maxi dress for the special occasion.
Tom appeared to have designed an aisle for his bride-to-be, the floor of which was adorned with thousands of white rose petals.
In a second snap, the couple could be seen kissing by the waterside, whilst a third showed Tom getting down on one knee to pop the all-important question.
Another photo saw Molly showing off her almighty new ring - a breathtaking marquise with diamond band.
Following the news of their engagement, a horde of their previous co-stars flocked to the comments to congratulate the happy couple, including Olivia Bowen, who gushed: "Omg - so happy for you both congratulations xxxxxxx."
Liberty Poole continued: "Omg !!! Guys so happy for you both congratulations."
"Wow! Congratulations guys," Luca Bish added.
Tasha Ghouri went on to write: "OMG!!!!!! The most gorge couple!!! Congratulations."
Tom's BFF, Casey O'Gormon joked: "Congratulations to my brother and his QUEEN!!! now to start writing the greatest best man speech of all time."
