LOVE Island stars Tom Clare and Molly Smith have put their “dream home” up for sale less than a year after buying it.
The couple, who got together on All Stars series one back in January 2024, bought a house just six months after they started dating.

The stunning old-fashioned property, based in Barnsley, boasts a huge garden, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, giant open-plan kitchen and a games room.
Molly and Tom then renovated the inside of the property to give it a new modern look, including a massive gym for the fitness loving pair.
But despite pouring money into the house to make it perfect, they’ve decided that their future lies somewhere closer to the city.
A source told The Sun: “They loved the home but Molly feels it’s too far out and she would rather be back in Manchester.
“So instead they’ve flipped the property and will hopefully make a profit.”
Sharing pictures of their house, Tom and Mollywrote upon buying it in August 2024: “‘Home is where the heart is’ – We’ve officially bought our first home… we couldn’t be happier.”
The property is now up for sale at a value of £550,000.
Speaking about the house renovations in February, Molly said that they had invested their £50,000 winnings from Love Island All Stars into the property they called home.
She said: “We’ve spent the money and it all went to the house.
“We did wait and we saved it, but then obviously we found the house and wanted it.
“And you don’t realise until you come to do it just how expensive renovation is, and it all adds up.”
Tom and Molly got engaged in September this year, 19 months from the start of their relationship.
Macclesfield Town footballer Tom popped the question while the pair were on a romantic getaway in Dubai.
He had called Molly ‘The One’ in an interview with The Sun just months after getting back from the Love Island villa, and had started referring to her as “wifey” before they were even engaged.

The RHONJ star and reigning Traitors champ announced her engagement to longtime boyfriend Paulie Connell after nearly five years of dating. The couple shared the exciting news with
“I could have proposed on a yacht in Greece. I could have rented a grand hall, invited 400 people and asked her to marry me with fireworks in the background. But that’s not who we are,” Connell told
While his comments sound heartfelt and romantic, Bravo fans were quick to notice that the Dublin native’s “not in Greece, no fireworks” line sure sounds like a subtle dig at Louie Ruelas — who famously proposed to Teresa Giudice with a grand fireworks display during their luxe trip to Greece back in 2021.
Connell’s emphasis on humility and simplicity contrasts sharply with Louie’s headline-making extravagance — and fans didn’t miss the irony. After all, both couples hail from the Real Housewives of New Jersey
universe, where grand gestures (and drama) are practically a love language.
Still, Dolores and Paulie’s engagement sounds like a genuine, down-to-earth moment between two people who’ve taken their time to build something real. Dolores, 54, told
The proposal itself caught Dolores completely off guard — she thought she was headed to an interview, not a proposal. “He started saying these sweet, beautiful things to me out of nowhere and I was like, ‘Paul, are you okay?’ And then I realized he was proposing,” she joked.
From the Apple Store to BravoCon — this RHONJ couple is proving that romance doesn’t need fireworks or Greek yachts to shine.
