When Casey O’Gorman entered the Love Island: All Stars villa on his third quest for romance, many expected to see him revert to his playboy ways which have seen him earn a less than glowing reputation.

But it seems that one girl has managed to tame him, as he happily coupled up with Gabby Allen following his arrival.

Now, Gabby’s friend and fellow series three Islander Tyla Carr tells Closer what she thinks of the pairing and their steamy Hideaway trip…

How are you finding watching Gabby on All Stars?

I’m loving watching her on there, she seems really happy so that’s nice to see.

Were you surprised by her coupling with Casey?

I was surprised. I just hope he doesn’t stray if somebody else comes into the villa. But he’s treating her really well, they’re getting on like a house on fire - he seems devoted to her.

Casey has a bit of a rep for being a player, do you think Gabby would have been put off by that?

He doesn’t seem to be acting the way he has done before. It’s early days still, but from what I can see, you can tell they’re really getting on and enjoying each other’s company.

Do you think he’s being genuine?

I think he is. It’s really hard to play a game and to keep up a persona that isn’t really you. You can’t always tell, but from what I can see he does seem genuine.

Will you be having words with him when they’re out to make sure he doesn’t mess Gabby about?

Of course! When I see him, I’ll be making sure to keep him in line.

Were you surprised to see Gabby and Casey getting steamy in the Hideaway?

Yes! I didn’t think Gabby would do anything like that in the villa. She didn’t last time, I think we were the only two girls who didn’t. It looked like she enjoyed it, it did get steamier than I thought but I don’t think she would have gone the whole way.

Would she still be interested in getting to know other boys that come in?

She seems smitten with Casey, but I think she’d be silly to put all her eggs in one basket. We’ll just have to see if someone comes in and turns her head.
