LOVE Island star Samie Elishi has finally broken her silence on her romance with co-star Tom Clare.
It comes after Samie, 23, and Tom sparked rumours that they were back together after they went back to the same hotel following a film premiere in June.
The pair have also been spotted out and about in London together, enjoying boozy nights out with pals Casey O'Gorman and Claudia Fogarty.
Samie has now revealed that she and Tom are not back together after months of speculation, saying: "I'm happy that we don't hate each other now."
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Samie said: "No, we're not back on, we're just really good friends."
When asked if she could see herself romantically reuniting with Tom, Samie told us: "I don't know, once you've been there and done it with someone…we had our run and it went well, but I'm happy that we don't hate each other now.

"We can all go out still and have fun, we were all out last night and it's been a lot of fun."
Talking about the reasons behind the break-up, Samie said: "It's so different when you come out of the villa.
"I feel you don't know until you've done it, it's just so different when you come out, it's a different environment.
"Tom's so supportive, he such a lovely guy, I haven't got a bad word to say about him."

Samie admitted that having a relationship in the public eye can have its pros and cons.
The brunette beauty said at the Ghost Fragrance Luna Collection launch party on Thursday: "I think it's hard having a public life, not just relationships but having a public life can be hard.
"But then it's also amazing as you get so much support, which I love.
"Normally you just have support from close friends and family but to have people you've never met before support you, is amazing."
Samie – who shot to fame on the ITV2 dating show earlier this year – confirmed she has no plans to sign up to any other dating shows.
She said: "I would do a documentary if it was something I was passionate about but not Celebs Go Dating…not Ex on the Beach.
"I am officially still single."
The ITV2 show stars – who swiftly became fan favourites – stunned Love Island viewers when they revealed their split in April.
The pair, who came third during the last series, struggled to make the romance work despite making things official.
At the time, fans called out telling clues of the break-up.
Yet recently footballer Tom, 23, sparked speculation they had reunited as he told The Sun: "I do get a lot of female attention but I'm not interested – I know where my heart is at, lets put it that way.”
The lovebirds were spotted leaving the No Hard Feelings premiere together in London's Leicester Square, before heading back to the same hotel.
Fans recently appeared to "confirm" the pair's reunion.
Eagle-eyed fans noticed how Samie posted a snap from what appeared to be her ex Tom's garden.
They both recently sparked rumours they're back together after they were spotted partying together in Marbella.
Earlier this year, at the time of their split, a source said: “Samie and Tom have sadly decided to call it a day. There is a lot of love and respect there but it just wasn’t going anywhere.
“The distance between them was too much and they are both really focused on their careers post Love Island.”
Tom lives in Barnsley, while Samie is based in Essex.
Tom previously said he would be happy to move wherever for Samie, in a bid to make things work.
He told The Sun earlier this year: "I've been down there for a few days or she's come up here. It hasn't been like a one day thing, we're making it work.
"I think eventually we want to move in together but that takes time, it's not something that you rush.
"I think if we could we'd want to move in together tomorrow but we're just making it natural."
Samie looked incredible last night as she attended the Ghost Fragrance Luna Collection launch party.
