Love Island winner Molly Smith got quite the fright on Wednesday when her boyfriend Tom Clare jumped out as her as she arrived home.
Molly, 30, and Tom, 24, walked away victorious on the inaugural All Star format of the show in South Africa in February.
And just days after making their romance official, Tom took to Instagram to prank his new girlfriend.
Setting up the camera beside the door, Tom then disappeared into a room next door before Molly opened the front door.
Tom then jumped out at an unsuspecting Molly, who let out a piercing scream, and as her boyfriend celebrated she playfully hit him with a towel.

‘Light work @mollysmith19,’ Tom captioned the video.
The pair had remained quiet over their relationship status after leaving the Love Island villa but finally made their romance official with a romantic proposal.
Last week, the personal trainer took to TikTok to share a sweet video of a hotel bed covered in roses spelling out the words: ‘Will you be my girlfriend?’
She penned a caption over the top reading: ‘Can’t believe Tom done this for me ahh [sic]’, with the video also showing an abundance of heart shaped balloons.
His sweet gesture comes after Tom admitted his frustrations over fans’ desires for Molly to rekindle with her ex-boyfriend Callum Jones – before branding his former flame Georgia Steel the ‘snakiest’ contestant.
The footballer says he ‘understands’ why fans want the former couple to have a ‘fairytale ending’ but he can’t help but feel down about the social media reaction.
After becoming the first ever All Stars champions, Tom insists he has no doubts that Molly, 29, and Callum, 27, are over and he believes there was no sign of a connection between them in the South African villa.
And Tom revealed in order to make his relationship with Molly work that he’s planning to move from London where he currently lives to Manchester, which coincidences with him rejoining his old football team Macclesfield.

The happy couple, aged 24 and 30 respectively, walked away victorious on the inaugural All Star format of the show earlier this month and have since remained quiet over their relationship status before their big announcement

He said: ‘I’ve come out and I’ve seen a lot of messages that say Molly and Callum should get back together and it’s s*** to see, it is s***, but in the villa there was no sign of it.
‘If there had been an incline, if there was flirting, I would have addressed it but there was nothing at all. I understand it, they want the fairytale and they had been together a long time but at the end of the day it is still s*** to see.’
During their time on the show, it was revealed that Georgia and Tom had ‘history’, with the pair previously dating before finding themselves on the All Stars lineup.
But Tom says their romance wasn’t as serious as Georgia alleged on the series and he claims they only met up ‘twice’ outside of the villa.
Speaking to Sophie Habboo and Melissa Tattam on their podcast Wednesdays, he said: ‘Obviously I must have seen Georgia for two days outside of the villa… we weren’t seeing each other. We weren’t dating or anything like that. I wouldn’t class it as history at all.’

During a quick-fire round of questions, Tom and Molly agreed that Georgia, who’s taken a ‘break’ from social media due to the level of trolling she’s received since returning home, was the ‘snakiest’ Islander.
Molly also revealed a comment Georgia made which wasn’t aired during the show’s Heart Rate Challenge, where Islanders perform seductive routines for each other.
She added: ‘She did try to spend a lot of time with Tom…
‘She did say one thing to us that I don’t think was aired. After Tom had done his Heart Rate Challenge and when he left, she shouted across me to Arabella [Chi], “He put his hand on my chest and neck” or whatever… “I wonder how he knew how to do that… and I was just sat there.”‘
