It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Love Island and TOWIE star Elma Pazar here at Closer HQ, so we were EXCITED when it was revealed that she would be returning to the villa for All Stars 2025.
Sadly though, her second time in the villa hasn’t exactly gone to plan as Elma is still trying to find her Prince Charming after a turbulent few weeks with Love Island 2024 player Ronnie Vint.
Elma recently called things off with Ronnie after his ex Harriett Blackmore arrived as a bombshell, but – according to dumped Islanders Olivia Hawkins and Marcel Somerville – it’s not just Ronnie’s love rat ways that have hindered Elma’s efforts at finding love. There could be ‘sabotage’ at play too.
Olivia and Marcel made the revelation as they discussed Elma’s journey in the villa so far on The Morning After podcast, hosted by former Islanders Indiyah Polack and Amy Hart.
The dumpees, who were sent packing when they found themselves in the bottom following a public vote for the most compatible couple, agreed that Elma needed a new bombshell to come in for her, although fellow guest David Potts suggested that Ron Hall could be a potential love interest for the Love Island 2019 star if Ronnie and Harriett recouple.
Marcel then added, ‘I actually feel like Ron did actually like Elma.
‘Ron, when he first came in, the play that he was making was to kind of disrupt Ronnie and Elma’s thing because I feel like maybe he did have a little thing going on [towards her].’
‘Maybe it was like when guys try and put you off,’ Indiyah replied, to which Olivia added, ‘Sabotage.’
Interesting.
Ron’s plan hasn’t really worked as Elma continued getting to know Ronnie before Harriett’s arrival through a massive spanner in the works. Although her ex made his feelings for her clear, Harriett chose to couple up with Ron but he later admitted that he doesn’t fancy her.
We’re not quite sure what Elma will do next now that she’s called things off with Ronnie, but we have a sneaking suspicion that there could be a Sammy Root-shaped bombshell on its way to the villa.
