FANS think they’ve worked out Elma Pazar and Sammy Root’s ‘game plan from the start’ after they made the Love Island All Stars final.
Elma, 32, and Sammy, 23, made their romance official in the Love Island All Stars villa but faced ‘showmance’ claims after their flirtation first started on The Only Way Is Essex.
After Monday night’s finale the couple appeared on The Morning After podcast and host Amy Hart pointed out their journey will continue to play out on Towie.
She told them: “In the ITV multiverse, you guys are Love Island and Towie crossover.
“You two are going to become the power couple of Towie!”
Nodding enthusiastically Elma said: “Yeah!” While Sammy whooped and put his hand up.
They both then appeared to be surprised when they remembered they’ll be back filming for the ITVBe show next week.
Writing in the comments, fans suggested taking over as the top reality couple of ITV had been Elma and Sammy’s plan all along.
One wrote: “Elma and Sammy seem so fake. Like they didn’t realize towie starts filming next week. You know they talked about it. Why not not say so.”
Another said: “Elma and Sammy were always going to make the final. They are on one of ITV’s longest running shows. Towie plug for ITV, it’s all business, it’s all a rig.”
Elma first appeared on series five of Love Island in 2019 but was dumped after six days. She joined Towie in 2022.
Sammy won the 2023 series of Love Island with ex-girlfriend Jess Harding. He made his Towie debut last year.
Fans previously pointed out a ‘clue’ the couple were an item before All Stars.
One reposted a scene from Towie in December showing Elma and Sammy confessing their romance was “getting there step by step”.
Eagle-eyed fans spotted a comment on Sammy’s Instagram from Elma from eight weeks ago.
She posted a string of heart hand emojis, with Sammy responding by posting the couple holding hands.
