Team GB’s golden girl Keely Hodgkinson was reportedly ‘secretly dating’ a former Love Island star. Hodgkinson, 24, captured the heart of the nation as she romped home to gold at the 2024 Olympics in the 800m. However, according to The Sun, it’s Casey O’Gorman, a former star of ITV’s hit reality TV show, that has caught her heart.
The report suggests their relationship started with “flirty messages” and a few secret dates before their relationship fizzled out.
Speaking to the outlet, a source said: “Casey has known who Keely is for years. He thinks she’s very attractive and talented.

“He sees himself as a bit of a runner, obviously not on her level but enough for him to chat about it with her. Some of her Insta pics caught his eye and they started swapping flirty DMs last year.
“She was really flattered by the attention – Casey really has the gift of the gab.”
The insider added that Casey “didn’t waste any time in asking her out” and they had “real sexual chemistry”. However, they led very different lives and it was “never going to work long term”.
They added: “They are still mates now and Casey still likes to show his appreciation of her with a few cheeky likes on her Insta pics.”
Casey has been in and out of the Love Island villa, making his first appearance in 2023.
In that season, he hooked up with Claudia Fogarty – the daughter of motorcycle champ Carl – but after having his head turned she was dumped from the villa.
He was then with Rosie Seabrook, but the pair went their separate ways shortly after the series wrapped. Casey has since appeared on the All-Star series where he coupled up with Georgia Harrison.
Away from the villa, he was in a three-year relationship with former figure skater Lea Broc.
Hodgkinson, meanwhile, had been in a relationship with an unknown runner, which they kept private, but she is now single.
Keely has been contacted for comment.
