She might not be the first TOWIE / Love Island crossover star, but Elma Pazar is the first one to appear on the All Stars spin-off series. Take THAT, Joey Essex.

In fact, although she is probably best known for her stint on The Only Way is Essex and her will they/won't they romance with Diags, Elma did first appear on Love Island BEFORE she rocked up on TOWIE. I know, we can barely keep up.

She was a bombshell on the dating show in 2019 and arrived alongside iconic Irish Islander, Maura Higgins, which makes sense as to why we don't 100 percent remember her arrival as Maura definitely stole the show. No shade.

Six years later and Elma returned to find The One ON All Stars season two - and it looks like she might have found him in Love Island 2023 winner and fellow TOWIE star Sammy Root.

Who is Elma Pazar?

Elma is a reality TV star and lash technician who has appeared on TOWIE and Love Island.

How old is Elma Pazar?

Born 7 July 1991, Elma is 33 years old.

What happened to Elma Pazar on Love Island: All Stars?

Elma entered the villa on day one and coupled up with Ronnie Vint, but it wasn't long before he was snogging Kaz Crossley behind her back. They gave things another go but then his ex Harriett Blackmore arrived as a bombshell, and we all know what happened next.

Luckily, it wasn't long before Sammy turned up and swept Elma off her feet. They made it all the way to the final and finished in fifth place.

When did Elma Pazar join TOWIE?

Elma made her show debut in the first episode of series 30 back in 2022 when she surprised her pals Amber Turner, Courtney Green and Chloe Meadows in the Dominican Republic and the reality star has admitted she was forced to tell her friends a little white lie to keep her appearance under wraps.

Although she already knew many of her co-stars including Chloe Brockett and Diags before she joined the cast, Elma wasn't able to confide in them or ask for any advice.

Chatting exclusively to Closer, Elma explained, 'I was a surprise, so I couldn't speak to anyone about it. I couldn't speak to anyone and find out any intel or anything like that. It was all very hush hush. It was more exciting that way for me and the other cast members.'

She continued, 'It was so hard because I talk all the time. I was like, "I need to tell someone, I need to tell someone" but obviously I didn't.'

'I remember Amber Turner kept messaging me. I don't know if they had an inkling, but she kept messaging me like, "What are you up to?" Just normal conversation that we would usually have and I was like, "Oh no, not much" and I was sitting at the airport literally ready [to fly].'

Are Elma Pazar and Diags dating?

Nope, they tried to make a go of things but after Diags admitted 'the spark' had gone and he started dating Jodie Wells, it was not to be.

Diags is rumoured to have since split from Jodie and now Elma is back on Love Island, so we're pretty sure that it is all over.

Are Elma Pazar and Chloe Brockett still friends?

Well, we thought the duo were besties but after they unfollowed each other on social media and had a row on TOWIE, it's safe to say they're no longer pals.

When was Elma Pazar on Love Island?

She took part in Love Island 2019 and joined as a bombshell alongside the iconic Maura Higgins.

Bless Elma, she wasn't on the dating show all that long and only coupled up with Anton Danyluk before being dumped less than a week after her arrival.

Does Elma Pazar have any siblings?

She does indeed.

Elma took part in the series 30 TOWIE talent show where she dusted off her violin for the first time in 11 years, and was accompanied on the piano by her younger sibling.

Alongside a sweet selfie of her and her brother at the talent show, Elma wrote, 'I mean, I’m no Vanessa-Mae, but I gave it a good go 🎻😂😂.'

'My brother made his first TOWIE debut, my performance would have been an absolute travesty without him @omerpazar18 😂😂😂.'

Omer currently works as a teacher and studied a Masters degree in physics at Imperial College London, which means that he's unlikely to join the show full time, according to Elma.

She said, 'My brothers are twins, so it would have been nice for them to come on together. I just don't know if I could see it personally, I don't know if they would do it. They've both got quite strict jobs, so I'm going to say no for the time being, but you never know.'

Who is Elma Pazar dating?

Elma is stil going strong with Sammy after they finished All Stars in fifth place.
