Olympic 800m gold medallist Keely Hodgkinson recently went on a series of secret dates with 'Love Island' star Casey O'Gorman, according to reports.
Sources claim the pair exchanged flirty messages before meeting, and that there was a "real sexual chemistry" between them. However, the insider added that any potential romance ultimately fizzled out as they realized their lives were too dissimilar for a long-term relationship.
O'Gorman, who has made multiple appearances on the reality dating show, reportedly knew of Hodgkinson for years and was drawn to her by her social media posts. He initiated contact, leading to several dates.
Despite the romantic connection not developing, the source stated that Hodgkinson and O'Gorman have remained friends, with O'Gorman continuing to show his appreciation by liking her Instagram photos. Representatives for both O'Gorman and Hodgkinson have been contacted for comment.
Hodgkinson, 24, recently made headlines for her athletic decisions, announcing in March that she would not be competing in the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She cited a desire to avoid burnout, as the event falls just a week before the European Championships in Birmingham. Hodgkinson explained that her focus must be on securing a third consecutive continental title, especially with her strong odds for the World Indoor title.
O'Gorman, 29, is a well-known figure from 'Love Island,' first appearing in 2023 and later participating in 'Love Island: All Stars' series one and two. He won the second series with Gabby Allen, though they separated three months later.
