The following year, he returned to the villa for the show's first All Stars series, and then again this year, where he ended up winning with then-girlfriend Gabby Allen. The couple, who have since split, managed to bag £50k - £25k each - after becoming victorious on the popular dating series in February. Now, speaking to Heart Bingo, Casey revealed what he'd spent his £25k winnings on, four months later. He said: 'Nothing in particular, I know that's really boring. 'I took my parents out for a lovely meal and I treated my mum to something nice, but not myself. 'Me and Gabby went on holiday to Dubai, which was really nice too.' Last month, Casey, who is single again after splitting with his girlfriend Gabby Allen, has dropped a big hint that he is going back in. He was the first to 'like' Love Island's official 2025 trailer when it dropped onto Instagram. Love Island's Kaz takes savage swipe at Casey after his ex Gabby is grilled about their split by Maya Jama And once he had shown his approval, Casey's Love Island pal Ronnie Vint stirred the pot further. The ad features a letter from host Maya Jama announcing the brand new series. Viewers of the ITV show are told Love Island is "coming soon" and that "attendance is mandatory". Casey didn't miss a beat when the trailer dropped and immediately liked it. Ronnie, who starred in the All Stars villa with Casey earlier this year, then tagged him in and wrote: "@caseyogorman HERE WE GO!!!!!!!." Fans immediately spotted the interaction and were quick to comment. "No way 🤣😭😭😭😭😭!" one replied. But Casey tells us that his pals are actually just teasing Love Island fans. He said: 'I think Tom, Ronnie, Chuggs all the boys comment on pretty much every single Love Island post being like 'when's Casey going back,' but it's all just banter and to be honest.' He's also since opened up on his split from co-star Gabby, after fan speculation as to why they went their separate ways. Casey told us: 'It just wasn't working from either side unfortunately - but we are still friends, we ended very, very amicably.' On Sunday night, Maya Jama quizzed Gabby on their split, during her appearance on Love Island After Sun. And it was Kaz Crossley who seemed to hint at the real reason behind their split. Maya chatted to the girls, turned to Gabby and said: "Gabby, what happened with you and Casey?" "How long have we got?" Gabby joked. She then said: "You know what, not really that much to report." Gabby noted how she and Casey were at "very different stages in our lives". Kaz then interjected when she said: "Casey he's a lovely boy, but emphasis on boy," seemingly throwing shade at her pal's ex. "I love Gabby, but a relationship, you just need a bit more depth. "We're looking for our husbands," she concluded.

Eurovision legend defends ‘smutty' contest a year on from ‘exposed testicle' blunder as she defends raunchy routines
EUROVISION has seen it all over its 69-year history from catchy Abba anthems to 80s skirt-ripping and men in fox masks. But in recent years the sexiness has been ramped up with scantily clad milkmaids, cheeky backless chaps and even an exposed testicle blunder when last year's Finnish entrant saw his veg make a bid for freedom from his tiny pants. 4 4 This year's entrants are looking just as risque with Finland once again leading the charge, this time in latex hotpants, while Malta was forced to change its song title over complaints it sounded a little too similar to a crude word for a woman's privates. Former winner Cheryl Baker, who took home the gong in 1981 with Bucks Fizz, certainly isn't taking issue with the Contest's 'smutty' side. She's throwing a viewing party at her home complete with national flag bunting and balloons and can't wait to see the wacky and wonderful performances. In an exclusive interview with The Sun on behalf of Heart Bingo, she said: "There was the one bloke last year that I thought, 'oh that's a bit going too far because he had one b*****k hanging out, didn't he?' That was a bit unnecessary. "Yeah, it is a bit smutty but life's a bit smutty now isn't it? Everything a bit more extreme. It's so funny to think that those rip off skirts that Bucks Fizz used was such a jaw-dropping moment and it's nothing compared to what they rip off now. "It's part of the Eurovision fun isn't it? It's always going to be that colourful, that extreme, that fabulous and joyous, it's such a joyous thing, and it's once a year, it's fantastic." Last year Finland appeared to quite literally drop the ball, when Windows95man, performed in very small pants. The visual artist, who's real name is Teemu Keisteri, left fans in shock after his testicles appeared to pop out. He began dancing to the song No Rules! with a flesh coloured patch over his groin leaving little room for the crown jewels. While Fizz's Eurovision win in '81 was much more innocent, there was still shock when Cheryl and bandmate Jay Aston had their skirts ripped their skirts off while performing Making Your Mind Up. Eurovision legend drops huge hint she's in talks for Celebrity Big Brother after previously turning down five-figure offer (1) It was tame by today's standards, but considered a controversial raunchy gimmick four decades ago. So it's little surprise Cheryl is all for a bit of cheeky fun on the stage. She said: "I think that's the fun of Eurovision. They are going to say saucy things, or try and get away with saying saucy things, or suggestive things. "I mean, they've done it for years. It's going to get you points, or it's going to get you noticed, and of course you're going to do it. "That's the beauty of Eurovision, it is tongue in cheek. I know it's important, especially for the winning act, well look at me, it changed my life. "But the whole point of Eurovision is to bring everyone together and just have a wonderful love fest, you know, be happy and make it fun. That's the beauty of it." 4 4 And she'd much rather see a saucy reveal than a divisive political speech that swaps escapism for grim reality. "I hate it when politics comes into it," she said. "I know it sometimes does, but, you know, to be there, like when I was in Liverpool, and to feel that joy, and everyone being together and everyone cheering each other on. "I think that's the beauty of Eurovision. It's a real unity thing, Eurovision, and it's worldwide."

Eurovision legend drops hint she's in talks for Celebrity Big Brother after previously turning down five-figure offer
She was devastated not to take part in the Celebrity Traitors after asking her agent to put her forward CHANGING HER MIND Eurovision legend drops hint she's in talks for Celebrity Big Brother after previously turning down five-figure offer Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHE'S the Eurovision queen who previously rejected a five-figure offer to star in Celebrity Big Brother over fears it would ruin her career. Now Cheryl Baker, 71, could be set for a stint in the famous house after changing her mind about the programme. 5 Cheryl Baker can't wait to tune into the Eurovision Song Contest at the weekend Credit: Stewart Williams 5 She said she's now open to appearing on CBB after previously turning it down Credit: ITV Bucks Fizz star Cheryl was impressed by the latest series of the rebooted ITV version and its lack of nasty in-fighting - Mickey Rourke's shenanigans aside - and is now open to giving it a go. In an exclusive interview with the Sun on behalf of Heart Bingo, she said: "I always said no because they tend to bring out the worst in people and that's what they show on the programme. "But this year wasn't so bad. It wasn't so nasty. So I'd possibly think about it." Detailing her past rejection, she continued: "I was asked once years ago and for a five figure amount of money which I could have done with, I turned it down. "I think that if they show the bad side of you, and I have a bad side, I'm a bit of a shop steward. If I think someone's not being treated fairly then I jump in and try and do something about it. "I thought if I did something they would cut that bit and show it and it could ruin my career because I'm quite outspoken." Top of her telly wish list, though, is Celebrity Traitors. Fans of the hit BBC reality show will soon see the first UK version of the cloak and dagger celeb spin-off on screens and it will feature big names like Stephen Fry, Kate Garraway, Charlotte Church and Jonathan Ross. Cheryl did make a play to be involved but it was all a bit too late. "I was gutted," she said. Bucks Fizz legend Cheryl Baker tells The Sun about being 'totally broke' and says I even have to grow own veg "I spoke to my agent and I said 'please get me on The Traitors', and she was like ' they've already cast it'. "That's how TV's gone now, all the reality stuff. That's fair enough. You have to move with the times." Cheryl's varied career has seen her shift more than 50million records worldwide with Bucks Fizz; the gold and platinum discs of their hits adorn the walls of her home. After the group's success at the 1981 contest, she embarked on a successful TV career, hosting Record Breakers for 10 years from 1987 to 1997. More recently she took part in Dancing On Ice, where she was partnered with three-time winner Dan Whiston. She's looking forward to this weekend's Eurovision Song Contest and is hosting a party at her home. Sharing her thoughts on this year's UK entry, Remember Monday, she said: "I'd say they're dark horses for this year's contest and can put in a really good performance and surprise a lot of people. 5 Cheryl won Eurovision with Bucks Fizz in 1981 5 She hosted Record Breakers for 10 years Credit: Alamy 5 The singer took part in Dancing On Ice in 2017 Credit: �ITV Plc "They need a 'rip off skirt moment' like Bucks Fizz did in 1981 – something in their performance that blows people away. That's what makes people vote for you, because they want to see that moment again. 'I'm hoping they have something special lined up in their production. The song is good, but they need something else to make the whole rendition fabulous and make people remember it. "We wouldn't have won in 1981 unless we had our 'rip off skirt' moment – that's the difference between doing well in competitions and winning them!'
