After five weeks together Tom Powell reveals his heart melting last words to Sophie Gradon
Tom is waiting with open arms as Sophie continues her stint in the sex fuelled house
TOM Powell is head over heels in love with his on-screen girlfriend Sophie Gradon and he told her so just as he was about to leave the Love Island house.
Both Tom and Liana were booted out of the house in a shock double eviction on Thursday night.
And it seems that his feelings are requited after Sophie also confessed she has the same strong emotions just weeks after they met on the show.
Now he says he plans to wait for her and that a wedding could even be in their future after the pair struck up a strong bond while living in the Spanish villa.
He told The Sun Online that he has mixed emotions about leaving the house but that the couple are definitely destined for greater things even though they're going to be apart for a short while.
He revealed: "It is a bubble but absence makes the heart grow stronger and hopefully I trust her 100 percent and I hope that she will stay faithful and so will I.
"The last thing we said to each other that we loved each other.
"I told her I loved her and she told me she loved me too.
"Things with Sophie are fantastic, we are back on track, we are boyfriend and girlfriend again, we are back to as good as we were, obviously with me leaving it was a bit upsetting and I will just be waiting for her on the other side, there is no difference for me.
"She is 100 per cent the girl for me."
Tom also revealed that he believes that they were right to have sex and that they couldn't have waited despite the fact that they were being filmed 24 hours a day.
He added: "I think sex is a very natural thing, we were in the villa for a long time, and when you feel like that about someone then sex is a very, very natural thing.
"We cared so much about each other and if we wanted to do it, we had to do it even if the cameras were on us at times, it would have been very difficult to sustain five weeks together or however long we were together it would have been very difficult for us not to have slept together when we were attracted to each other for that amount of time."

Lovesick Tom also says he hopes Sophie picks up the £25,000 prize and that she stays to the end of the competition despite their separation.
He continued: "Hopefully I would love her to win it, and to stay right to the end, she would do me proud, she really would.
"But I am proud of her anyway, if she came out tomorrow I don't mind when she comes out, it's a win win situation for me, if she comes out sooner, then I get to see her, if she gets to stay to the end then she gets the best experience I would be so happy for her."
And he says while the pair will be in a long distance relationship that they could end up living together after time.
He added: "I live near Swansea and she lives near Newcastle so it's a hell of a trek, I've had long distance relationships before and if you care about someone that much then the distance doesn't really matter.
"At the moment neither of us have jobs, so theoretically we could make things work.
"It's a bit soon to discuss moving in together we haven't discussed that yet but if we still feel the same way in a few weeks and months then I am not going to say no to it definitely not."
"I have never felt like this for a person before, it has changed my opinion and the way I look at relationships from now on.
"She really has changed my personality for the better I think.
"I loved every second of the experience. I am going to look back at it for the rest of my life."
And when it comes to the concept of a Love Island wedding he said: "I am not totally against the idea, it's a long way off in the future, but we will have a long future together hopefully."
