Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague reportedly “dated” Caroline Flack’s personal trainer Bradley Simmonds before heading into the villa this summer.
Reports claim that the 20-year-old budding reality star enjoyed a brief romance with Simmonds back in February, with the pair spotted holding hands on a night out.
Personal trainer Simmonds also shared clips and pictures of Flack working out on his social media, sparking rumours the pair were getting closer.
Pictures of Molly-Mae – who was the first female bombshell to arrive in the villa – with Simmonds have been widely circulated on social media, causing fans to brand her potential closeness to Flack as “awkward”.
But a source denied that Flack had ever crossed paths with the social influencer, telling the Standard: “Molly-Mae has dated Bradley but has never previously met Caroline.”
“Caroline and Bradley tried to keep things professional but they’ve fallen head over heels and they’re now dating,” the source said in February.
"After spending so much time together, they just fell for each other, although it’s still early days.”
They added that friends were “over the moon” for Flack and that she was the “happiest she’s been in a long time”.
Molly-Mae is currently coupled up with boxer Tommy Fury, but has made it quite clear that she is “keeping her options open” because she “fancies everyone”.
Since arriving last weekend, she has been on dates with Fury and Curtis Pritchard and also expressed an interest in Michael Griffiths, Anton Danyluk and now-dumped Islander Callum McLeod.
Love Island is on ITV2, tonight at 9pm
