Love Island: All Stars is officially back in our lives and, just like that, January has got so much more bearable.
The second Love Island: All Stars launched with a 90-minute extravaganza of slow-mo walking, open-top Jeeps, gold Champagne glasses, unearthed DMs, rehashed history, Maya Jama looking like an actual ethereal goddess, a coupling at the hands of the public and even an Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu reveal. Worst kept secret in reality telly history, btw. Even our grandmas knew.
One of the couples put together by the public was TOWIE and Love Island 2019 star Elma Pazar and Love Island 2024 OG Ronnie Vint, which if you watch TOWIE you'll know this just feels very right. Our Elma has a soft spot for a chatty geezer with a bucket load of confidence and that's definitely Ronnie.
And it appears that Elma's co-star and pal Saffron Lempriere believes the couple could seriously make a go of it on the show. In fact, Saffron predicted that they would couple up days before the public put them together, telling The Sun, 'I think she's going to instantly hit it off with Ronnie,' and 'She's a personality girl, whoever she fancies is who she'll stick with. She hasn't got a type.'
Saffron took to her Instagram story after last night's episode to share her previous comments with the publication, writing, 'I mean 🙌🏻' soon after Elma and Ronnie coupled up.
Our Saff just always knows, doesn't she?
But can Elma stick with Ronnie amid new cheating allegations brought to the table by Olivia Hawkins during that fire pit game? ICYMI, Olivia gave Ronnie a red flag during the game, revealing, 'You did message me when you were with another girl,' later telling the girls, 'He was like trying to get me on a date, then he was saying like, "Oh, my agent can set it up as like, a secret date".'
Ooft.
Of course, the girl in question is Ronnie's Love Island 2024 ex, Harriett Blackmore, who is rumoured to be in holding for the series.
And lest we forget, THOSE messages to Kelsey Stratford. They don't call him 'Turbo' for nothing...
Only time will tell as to whether Elma and Ronnie can weather this stormy realisation.
Okay, maybe Saffron will tell, too - she appears to be clairvoyant these days.
WATCH: Chris Taylor tells us who from Love Island is coming to support him at the rink and is there an All Stars spoiler in there..?
