Love Island All Stars' Jess Gale reveals what she REALLY thinks about rumors Callum Jones is still in love with ex Molly Smith

Jess Gale has responded to rumors that Callum Jones is still in love with his ex Molly Smith on Tuesday – after the Love Island All Stars final.

The Love Island All Stars finalists were spotted at the airport in South Africa on Wednesday to return to Britain.

But before they return to normality, Jess, 24, has revealed what it was really like to hear from the public that the exes were 'still in love'.

Throughout the ITV series, viewers hoped Molly, 29, and Callum, 27, would rekindle their relationship – after breaking away from their three-year relationship just six months before making a shock arrival to the villa.

Molly, who won the final with her new flame Tom Clare, 24, was also shocked to hear the public were hoping she and Callum would get back together – after Dani Dyer, Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack spilled the tea during the series.

Do you think Jess and Callum are in love?

She said: 'When I first heard it I was obviously very shocked by it. And I thought, was there something I was missing? I didn't want to be naive.

'I was afraid of being seen as really bad if Callum and Molly were this 'love story' and I was in the way.

“So yeah, I was a little nervous about the whole thing. But Callum was very reassuring and he quickly put it to bed. So it was smooth sailing after that.”

Callum added: “Yes, even after the first week or two we were friends and to be honest I'm glad we got that friendship.

“I know people may have looked past the friendship because they want the fairy tale, but sometimes that doesn't happen.

'Life is too short, it takes more energy to be bad to someone to be negative than to continue with life. Life goes on.'

It comes as Molly and Tom claimed their Love Island All Stars win on Monday night, according to new reports.
