Casey O'Gorman has revealed he nearly missed his flight to best pal Tom Clare's second wedding to Molly Smith in Mallorca after the airline overbooked the flight.

The Love Island star, 29, is due to act as best man on Saturday as his friends Tom and Molly tie the knot in a lavish abroad wedding, a month after their legal ceremony in Stockport Town Hall.

However Tom, 26, almost faced not having his best man by his side as Casey was initially denied entry to his flight after EasyJet sold too many tickets.

Taking to his Instagram stories on Friday, Casey told how he had checked in at the airport only to be told the flight is sold out, forcing him to wait at the gate and hope that someone didn't turn up.

Airlines often sell more tickets than there are seats on planes as a strategy to make more money, relying on passengers who either miss their flight or cancel at the last minute in order to keep the plane full.

Slamming airline EasyJet, he said: 'How can I buy a flight that's sold out? I'm trying to keep calm but it's proving very difficult.'

In another post, he shared a snap of his unimpressed face as he asked: 'How can you oversell a flight it baffles me.'

Giving an update to fans shortly afterwards, Casey later told how EasyJet had put out a request to passengers to vacate the flight in exchange for £300 compensation, with Casey noting that he could spot someone who could potentially take up the offer.

The next slide saw an ecstatic Casey yell 'he's on! He's on!' as he revealed a teacher named Harri gave up her seat for him.

He then shared a snap of himself Face Timing groom Tom as he boarded the flight, with Casey hitting out at EasyJet once again writing: 'EasyJet nearly f***ed his flight up but the best man's en route.'

Casey's stories concluded with him having finally arrived at the wedding destination, with a video showing him sitting in Tom's hotel room wearing soothing eye patches.

Casey's travel drama comes weeks after he was left worse for wear after Tom and Molly's first ceremony took a raucous turn, leaving them 'stressed'.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Molly and Tom admitted they've had a few 'wobbles' while dealing with last-minute preparations for their big day.

The pair also shared how their legal wedding concluded with dinner at The Ivy, which ended with guests 'dancing on tables', while the best man Casey ended up 'in a heap on the floor'.

Molly said: 'It's got to the stressful part, just because we're weeks out and only because it's invoices being sent and all the last bits that you start to panic about and then you start getting people asking you questions, like texting you.

'So then it starts to get a little bit stressful in that sense. So I have had a little wobble.'

Tom added: 'We just want it all to be perfect, but like you said, there's just like little bits, people asking silly questions.

'It's not too bad, but just because we want it to go so well and we've put time and effort into it. I think we're just about there. You've had a few little meltdowns.'

Agreeing with her partner, Molly said: 'Tom's so chilled. Normally you're super, super chilled, but Tom stress cleans, so I know when you're stressed because you'll go upstairs and start hoovering or something like that!'

Luckily the couple are in good stead for the big day itself as their legal ceremony was a 'really special and intimate' occasion.

They have spoken openly about the wedding planning process with their followers, but shared they wanted to keep details about their UK-based day under wraps.

After they tied the knot, Molly and Tom shared that they headed to The Ivy for a celebratory dinner with close friends and family, but things ended up being more raucous than they expected.

Molly shared: 'It started like so calm and classic. And then by the end of it, Casey was in a heap on the floor. We were on the tables dancing. Everyone just went to the Ivy and we just had a private room.'

Tom added: 'As soon as the door shut, everyone just seemed to go mental!'
