Some of the most memorable Love Island couples are not those that take home the £50k cash prize. While Love Island 2023 gave us many couples- including the iconic winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan- one of the fan favourites was Tom Clare and Samie Elishi.

Samie has gone on to garner over 600k Instagram followers and is a full-blown Youtube content creator, so although she didn't win the reality show, she hardly left empty-handed.

So what else has the Love Island 2023 finalist been up to? Here's everything you need to know about Samie.

Who is Samie Elishi?

Samie was a bombshell on Love Island 2023 and is now a full-time model and influencer.

How old is Samie Elishi?

Samie was born February 15, 2000, making her 24 years old and an Aquarius.

What does Samie Elishi do?

Before she entered the Love Island villa, Samie worked as a senior estate agent coordinator. Once she left, she was immediately snapped up by the modelling world and signed to S Creative.

Where is Samie Elishi from?

Samie is a London girl, Camden to be more precise.

What happened to Samie Elishi on Love Island?

Samie entered the villa as a bombshell on day 14. She was initially coupled up with Kai Fagan, but soon she and Tom Clare coupled up and the rest was history. The pair made it all the way to the final and finished in third place behind Lana Jenkins and Ron Hall, and the winners Kai and Sanam.

What happened with Samie Elishi and Tom Clare?

In April 2023, just a month after leaving the villa, Samie and Tom called it quits on their relationship. Rumours swirled for months that the pair would rekindle their romance as they were constantly making TikTok's and jetting off on group holidays together, but they have insisted that they're nothing but good friends.

Is Samie friends with TOWIE's Diags?

Before Samie appeared on Love Island, she seemed to be pretty chummy with TOWIE's James 'Diags' Bennewith.

The TOWIE icon is an Instagram follower of Samie's and was an avid liker of her pre-show posts (those that remain - funny how the Islanders wipe their accounts almost clean).

Diags dated Fran Parman (formerly of TOWIE), Angel 'Bo' Stanley (briefly of TOWIE), and is constantly rumoured to be dating Elma Pazar (currently of TOWIE) so it would seem that he may have a penchant for brown-eyed brunettes.

Does Samie Elishi have Instagram?

She sure does, you can follow her @samieelishi.
