Speaking about his new love, Tom said: 'I’d never felt like anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn’t even spoken to him all night. I didn’t know what to do or if he was gay at first.' But though the young sportsman may have been slightly unsure of himself, that didn't stop him from making his intentions clear with the object of his affection. He said: 'I typed "call me" in his notes with a smiley face on this phone and the next day he texted. He makes me feel safe and happy, right now I couldn’t be happier.'
On the ITV show - that will be aired on Saturday 7th December - Tom said: 'I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time. I’ve never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much.
