Love Island star Tom Clare is made to wear a wedding dress and veil by best pal Casey O’Gorman as he heads off on his Las Vegas stag with a kiss goodbye from fiancée Molly Smith

While groom-to-be Tom Clare got the chance to be a bride while wearing his wedding dress and veil and going to his bachelor party in Las Vegas on Thursday, his fiancée Molly Smith waved at him.

The couple are set to tie the knot this summer, two years after meeting on Love Island All Stars, which they went on to win.

Preparing to fly to Vegas to celebrate his upcoming wedding with friends, Tom, 26, found himself forced to wear a white lace dress and veil by his best man Casey O’Gorman.

Dropping him off at Manchester Airport in her bridal gown, Molly, 31, couldn’t stop giggling at her fiancée’s embarrassment and took photos of him before giving him a sweet kiss goodbye.

Tom shared the photo on his Instagram account with the caption: ‘Ahhhhh the bachelorette party is on, VEGAS HERE WE COME ✈️ thanks to @caseyogorman for the outfit.’

Joining him for his hen party include best man Casey, fellow Love Islander Mitch Taylor and Too Hot To Handle star Seb Melrose.

Tom and Molly also took the opportunity to make a hilarious TikTok movie, featuring the couple lip-syncing to a clip of Jim and Dwight from The Office while she was in bridal makeup.

Molly mimes first: ‘I want you to promise me you’ll be on your best behavior.’

Shy Tom shrugs and responds: ‘I promised to be on my worst behavior towards other people. So I promised them…’

Sharing more videos on her Instagram Stories, she revealed she was sitting alone at the airport in a dress and veil while the rest of her bachelorette party headed to Vegas.

He told fans: ‘Casey got me into this. I’m at Manchester airport, it’s just me and my dad – in fact I’m sitting alone at the moment because my dad has gone to the toilet.

‘This is a massacre, an absolute massacre. But the most appropriate outfit of the day is; Let’s go!’

Casey called her ‘My beautiful little princess’, while Seb joked that it was ‘such a beautiful airport outfit’: His friends were already in hysterics over her appearance too.

She was also subjected to sarcastic comments from her friends on Instagram, as fellow Islanders Joshua Ritchie and Ty Isherwood quipped, “Good job princess hahaha” and “Princess, have fun, mate.”

Sean Stone, MAFS UK star John Shepherd and Made In Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps wished Tom good luck on the journey as they laughed at his outfit.

Casey was in charge of organizing the trip and kept all the details a secret from Tom, letting him know what was to come on Wednesday via her Instagram account.

While dancing along to the Bee Gees’ popular song You Should Be Dancing, she captioned the clip: ‘POV: Your best friend’s stag do in Vegas is in 2 days… and she has no idea what she’s planning’.

Speaking about his upcoming stag party in an exclusive chat with the Daily Mail last month, Tom admitted he was nervous about what his friend would do.

‘Casey keeps making fun of me about this, and I’m thinking, I might not enjoy this anymore,’ he said.

Molly said she was prepared for any possibility, but all she wanted was for her fiancée to have “the best time.”

‘I think he’s going to Vegas and people like Casey will be there too, I need to make sure he has enough time to get back if you get arrested or something like that,’ he joked.

‘Actually I know a few bits, Casey told me something and I’m not going to tell Tom because I just want you to have the best time.’

The couple also talked about the hefty price tag attached to weddings these days, with Tom revealing he wasn’t aware of how many hidden costs there were.

His friends were already hysterical about his appearance; ‘My beautiful little princess’, Casey called her, while Seb joked that it was ‘such a beautiful airport outfit’.

‘It was £4,000 for fairy lights, which I think is absolutely ridiculous,’ she quipped.

But Molly interjected: ‘He was very aware of the fairy lights, you see, and he was going on about it all the time. So I thought eventually I’ll pay it into the joint account, then there’s nothing you can do.

‘I know this is ridiculous. I totally agree with you, but it will look beautiful. Don’t get us wrong, we’re definitely not ridiculous. ‘We have a budget.’

Offering some lighthearted advice to other couples on budgeting for their big day, she joked: ‘When you pay a bill, pay it and don’t tell your husband because what you don’t know won’t hurt you. Just “Oh, don’t worry, it’s taken care of!” I say.

This comes after Molly revealed her father was reduced to tears when fiancé Tom asked for her blessing to propose to him in Dubai last September.

Speaking on their new podcast NearlyWeds after taking over Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s wedding podcast, Tom explained: ‘We were having a family barbecue when I asked your father that I wanted to marry you.

‘Your family was there, my family was there too. But since we’re going away, I thought it was time to ask your father.

So I said, “John, can you come to the garage and take a look at this for me?” And he was honest because he loved to help.

‘Then I pulled him in. I said, ‘Oh, John, it’s like me and Mo are out of here.’ And I really want to ask her to marry me. Frankly, I wanted to get your permission first.

‘Then she burst into tears. ‘She shed tears and then gave me a big hug, which I thought was really lovely.’

Tom and Molly won the All Stars series of Love Island in 2024, becoming one of the only couples in the spin-off series to have stood the test of time.

Molly came across an explosive development, surprising her ex-boyfriend Callum, whom she met while filming the winter version of the program in 2020.

Viewers were intrigued by the prospect of Molly and Callum rekindling their three-year relationship, but the fitness model instead remained romantically linked to Tom.

Callum and Eve split weeks after the show ended amid reports he was cheating on her with another woman; Callum insisted it wasn’t true as the couple had already split.

Since winning All Stars, Molly has signed a number of lucrative deals including clothing retailer Boohoo, US fitness supplement Alani Nu, jewelery brand Abbott Lyon and global make-up giants L’Oréal Paris and Maybelline.

Speaking to the Daily Mail last year, Molly said: ‘You know sometimes you wonder, ‘Is this too good to be true?’ you think. I don’t like bad luck, but I can’t fault our relationship right now.

‘Living together is the next step, that’s practically how we live together… we haven’t made it official yet.
