Love Island's Kaz slams Casey after his dramatic break-up with Gabby
The former Love Island star has made her thoughts on another ITV cast member known in the wake of a reality show winning couple's split when Maya Jama asked for her thoughts on Aftersun
Love Island star Kaz Crossley took a thinly veiled swipe at Casey O'Gorman during the first episode of the new series of Love Island: Aftersun.
Kaz appeared on the ITV spin-off show alongside her friend and fellow former Islander Gabby Allen, who recently ended her relationship with Casey just two months after they won Love Island: All Stars. The duo joined host Maya Jama for a chat on the Aftersun sofa, and the conversation quickly turned to Gabby's recent split.
Maya asked the Love Island All Stars winner: "Gabby, what happened with you and Casey?"
"How long have we got?" Gabby joked, before diplomatically adding: "You know what, not really that much to report. We're at very different stages in our lives."
Kaz then chimed in with a pointed comment. She said: "Casey, he's a lovely boy — but emphasis on boy. I love Gabby, but a relationship, you just need a bit more depth. We're looking for our husbands."
Fans soon took to X to comment on what they saw as a clear dig from Kaz, with one saying: "One thing about Kaz? She'll forever HATE Casey." Another laughed: "Not Kaz on Aftersun shading Casey." A third added: "Kaz clocking Casey."
Gabby, 33, and Casey, 28, started their romance while coupled up on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year and were crowned winners in February.
Since leaving the villa they have kept fans updated on their relationship after the show, but cracks began to show in recent weeks.
Just days before the split was announced, Gabby spoke about her busy schedule at the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises. When asked how things were going with Casey, she said: "So good! We had such a laugh yesterday."
She added: "Obviously the sun is amazing and we went for drinks in the park with his mates and it was just so much fun." But she also admitted that juggling her love life and work commitments had been a challenge.
"I have two businesses so I have to like try and juggle that. Which I don't have time to bloody see anyone, let alone have a boyfriend," she said.
After growing speculation, the couple announced their break up in a joint statement, which read: "After much thoughtful consideration, Gabby and Casey have decided to go their separate ways romantically. This decision was mutual, and they both remain on good terms as friends with a shared respect for each other."
Gabby added: "Gabby is grateful for the memories they've created together and wishes Casey nothing but the best as they both move forward on their individual journeys. She's excited for what the future holds."
When the couple split a source told The Sun the pair had "a really good relationship" but realised they were focusing on different things. "They just knew it wasn't going to work anymore," the insider added.
