Casey O’Gorman, whose short-lived romance with Claudia Fogarty went up in flames in 2023, could be making a comeback.
The 27-year-old was branded ‘disrespectful’ and ‘rude’ by Claudia after his head was rapidly turned by Rosie Seabrook.
However, it looks like Casey is toying with the idea of returning to the show and could be in talks with bosses.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, a source said: “Casey is single and would love to return to the show – he had the best time the first time around.
“He’s hoping to get sent in as a bombshell to find love this time around.”
Things turned sour very quickly between Casey and Claudia, who is the daughter of superbike star Carl Fogarty.
After Casey shared a kiss with Rosie, Claudia poured her heart out to Keenan Anunay.
“I feel like I need to have a chat with him because it’s cut deep, he’s literally pushed me to the side, completely disowned my feelings, I think it’s really rude.”
Claudia then walked over to Casey and Rosie and said: “I feel like I’ve been very disrespected.
“I found out that you’ve both kissed last night, and I’m hearing it from Keanan who then has been disrespected as well because he’s told Rosie he liked her and you’ve gone and kissed her anyway, you don’t care about my feelings.”
The pair battled it out on the show but decided to have a “friends with benefits” arrangement after the cameras stopped rolling.
However, in September last year, Claudia called it off and confirmed a new romance with footballer Olly Crankshaw.
The bombshell shared snaps from a romantic date tagged Olly who plays as a winger for Altrincham.
She captioned her photos: “Finally found my happiness.”
In one snap, Olly stood behind Claudia with his arm wrapped around her waist.
Claudia also shared another picture on her Instagram Story and wrote: “date night”.
Claudia cropped out the man’s face to keep his identity a secret.
But she sent another clear message over on TikTok that she had found somebody new.
The blonde beauty stood next to a white wall and beneath two phrases, one which said “find a new man” and another that said “get back with your ex.”
She appeared to be making up her mind in the short video, before pointing up towards “find a new man”.
Casey has ruffled a few feathers with other cast mates since leaving the show, including Will Young.
He accused the farmer of “dropping him out” after Will “ignored” multiple text messages.
The former recruitment consultant called Will out for making up excuses and for being a “s*** friend”.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Casey said: “Me and Will are not as close anymore – he dropped us out I think.”
Casey fumed: “He’s come out and done exclusives instead of texting us.
“He said he’s busy on the farm and that we don’t understand that.
“We must have sent him about 10 messages saying ‘mate do you want to do something?’ But he’s ignored every one.
“Do you know what…he says he’s busy on the farm but he’s been on holiday probably about six months out of the nine months after coming out of Love Island, I don’t quite understand that.”
When asked if he would ever offer an olive branch, Casey explained that Will would have to make the first move after their previous attempts at reconciliation were ignored.
“If Will reached out to us and said ‘I’m really sorry that I’ve been s*** for the last few months and not contacted you boys, it would be really nice to catch up and have a beer or it would be really nice to even go for a gym class together,” he told us at the Sci-Mx launch party.
