Samie struggled to contain her shock as Tom revealed ‘something big’ during a romantic date, as shown in Thursday’s Love Island.
The senior estate agent coordinator, 22, was driven by the semi-professional football player, 23, to their romantic dinner in a classic red Ferrari.
Having been treated to a private mountainside restaurant located in the middle of a lake and decorated with red rose petals, there was even a harpist to serenade them.
Tom said: ‘This feels like a dream doesn’t it?’
But as the date got underway Tom had something big he wanted to tell Samie, but it remains to be seen what it was.
‘You’ve left me a bit speechless now!’ Samie struggled to contain her shock as Tom revealed ‘something big’ during a romantic date, as shown in Thursday’s Love Island

She replied: ‘You’ve left me a bit speechless now!’
Ron and Lana were the first couple to be whisked out of the Villa for their epic final date.
They were treated to a magical breakfast, which saw them floating on water. Their date was accompanied by a spine-tingling performance from a South African choir.
Discussing their Love Island journey, Ron said: ‘Day one and now look at where we are, having a breakfast date on a river, a floating date!’
Reflecting on their experience Lana told Ron: ‘It’s like overwhelming joy, I’m just buzzing that we’ve had this journey together and we are here now, I’ve loved every second.’
Talk turned to how much they both want to meet each other’s families, with Ron saying: ‘My mum will adore you.’
But the pair then had to turn their attention to voting, as they decided who they believe is the least compatible in the Villa.
As night fell, Shaq and Tanya were invited to their date underneath the stars and both dressed to impress.
Wow! The senior estate agent coordinator, 22, was driven by the semi-professional football player, 23, to their romantic dinner in a classic red Ferrari
Loved-up: Tom said: ‘This feels like a dream doesn’t it?’
Wait and see: But as the date got underway Tom had something big he wanted to tell Samie, but it remains to be seen what it was
When Shaq and Tanya reached their date, they were greeted by a string quartet within a rose and candle lit location.
Once seated, Shaq and Tanya talked about their relationship and agreed they are stronger than ever.
Shaq told Tanya: ‘With you I’ve found the one, I don’t want anyone else.’
Tanya and Shaq talked distance and whether they would consider moving for each other. And as the date drew to a close, the couple also discussed another relationship milestone.
It comes after Love Island viewers were left in hysterics during Wednesday night’s episode as Tom wept when his close pal Casey was dumped from the villa.
Casey and Rosie were eliminated from the ITV2 dating contest at the end of Tuesday’s episode after receiving the lowest amount of votes from the public.
After the shock dumping rocked the villa, Tom was seen looking very emotional as he broke down in tears and was comforted by his partner Samie.
However, fans were left amused by his reaction as they pointed out the footballer can reunite with his friend in less than a week’s time when the show wraps up.
The series is set to come to a close on Monday night as the grand final will see a couple be crowned the 2023 winter winners and take home the £50,000 prize.
Taking to Twitter, some viewers pointed out that Casey hadn’t ‘died’ and joked that Tom should have left the show alongside the ‘real love of his life’.
One person said: ‘If tom really loved casey then he would leave with him,’ while another wrote: ‘Tom crying cos the real love of his life left the villa.’
A third commented: ‘You’re gonna see him in a few days tom,’ and a fourth joked: ‘Tom’s about to name his baby Casey so they can still hang out.’
A fifth tweeted: ‘Can someone tell Tom that Casey isn’t getting put down and he’s actually going to see him in a week.’
While a sixth penned: ‘If Tom really liked him, he should go as well really,’ and another added: ‘Tom is crying like he won’t be seeing Casey in a weeks time.’
In the tearful scenes, Tom was seen looking distraught after Casey was dumped from the villa, with Samie wrapping her arm around him to comfort her partner.
Samie said: ‘I had the worst feeling, it’s going to be so weird without him. So s** isn’t it.’

To which an emotional Tom responded: ‘He were like my best mate. It’s mad he was the one who got me through the s**t times, when we were in Casa.’
Through tears, he added: ‘So many laughs, him with that trumpet, man. I never get emotional, such a character.’
Speaking in the Beach Hut, Tom went on: ‘The dumpings, they never get easier, coming into this place you don’t think you’ll meet people like this, but the bond you form with people is incredible.
‘Then when you have to see someone walk out the door like that with a suitcase, it’s tough, it really is.’
On Tuesday, Islanders were forced to say goodbye to Casey and Rosie as they were dumped from the villa after receiving the lowest number of votes from the public.
They found themselves in the bottom three couples with Tanya and Shaq and Will and Jessie.
The villa were distraught to see the couple leave, with Tom and Will most affected as they helped Casey pack his things.
As they left Rosie said that she was glad to be leaving with Casey, and that this was ‘just the beginning’.
Casey said: ‘I’m absolutely gutted to be leaving such an amazing group of people, especially my boys Will and Tom.
‘But to be leaving with Rosie and to have found what I’m looking for is amazing.’
Love Island airs Thursday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
