Casey O'Gorman is 'absolutely gutted' to have been dumped from Love Island alongside Rosie Seabrook, but he is 'excited' to introduce her to his family
The 26-year-old recruitment consultant says his "number one priority" is 24-year-old Rosie meeting his pals and his mum, who he needs to give her "approval" on the industry placement advisor.
He said: "On one side I’m absolutely gutted but on the other side I’m buzzing and excited for the outside world. I’ve had the best time of my life. It’s been the best experience and I’m leaving with a very special girl.
"I can’t wait to introduce her to my family and all my friends. I think that’s number one on my priority list. I need approval from my mum! I’m just super excited to see where things go on the outside. I can’t wait to do some activities, go on dates, and spend some quality time with each other. It’ll be nice also to be apart to see if I do really, really miss her."
Rosie is also excited about Casey meeting her family, and going on "cute date nights" with him.
She said: "Casey and I have both said that we’re so excited to meet each other's friends and families, we’re excited to do cute date nights and things you’d normally do.
"We’ve built such a strong connection in the Villa, so I’m excited to see what happens when we’re back home."
The couple are now both backing Tom Clare and Samie Elishi to win the series.
Rosie said: "I’m backing Tom and Samie. They’ve grown as a couple over the past couple of weeks and you can really see the way they are together is genuine.
"His poem and the song he dedicated to her, I think they’re just really cute together."
Casey added: "It’s tough, I love all of the couples there. But for me it’s got to be Tom and Samie.
"Out of the girls I’m closest to Samie. Tom is my boy, I know Will is as well, but I was there when those two got together so I’ve seen the whole journey. To see them grow as a couple and be there with Tom through the highs and lows and see them get stronger - they are two of the most genuine, funny people and I really want them to win."
'Love Island' airs at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX and can be seen in Ireland on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player.
