Love Island fans are buzzing with speculation after former winner Sammy Root and his partner Elma Pazar finished in fifth place on Love Island: All Stars. 

Many viewers believe Sammy was visibly disappointed by the outcome, especially given Elma’s previous popularity in the villa. 

His reaction during the elimination interview has led some fans to suspect that their relationship might not last much longer outside the show.

Sammy’s Reaction Sparks Debate

During the final moments of their Love Island: All Stars journey, host Maya Jama sat down with Sammy and Elma to discuss their time in the villa. 

However, fans couldn’t help but notice that Sammy appeared less than thrilled about their placement.

Social media quickly erupted with reactions, with one viewer writing, “I know Sammy is fuming that he didn’t win again.” Another added, “Sammy’s face says it all, bro definitely thought he had another 50K.”

Others speculated that Sammy was already reconsidering his relationship with Elma. One person commented, “Sammy looks like he’s done with Elma already and they haven’t even landed yet.”

Sammy’s Love Island Journey

Sammy originally won Love Island Season 10 with Jess Harding after entering the villa as a bombshell on Day 4. Their romance captivated fans, and they ultimately secured the grand prize. However, their relationship came to an end just three months after their victory, with sources confirming they were better off as friends.

For All Stars, Sammy made his entrance much later, joining the show as a bombshell on Day 16. He quickly set his sights on Elma, who had recently split from her partner Ronnie Vint. Their coupling led them to the finals, but they ultimately finished in last place, behind Grace & Luca, Gabby & Casey, and Catherine & Omar.

Were Sammy and Elma Dating Before the Show?

While Sammy and Elma’s romance played out on-screen, some eagle-eyed fans believe they had a connection before stepping into the villa. Sammy previously appeared on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), and one storyline revolved around his pursuit of Elma.

In a resurfaced clip from the TOWIE season finale, Elma is seen discussing their relationship, saying, “We’re getting there.” Sammy echoed her sentiments, responding, “Step by step.”

This has led many to question whether their romance was genuine or if they were simply continuing an off-screen storyline for Love Island: All Stars.

A Future Outside the Villa?

Now that their time in the villa has come to an end, the big question remains: Will Sammy and Elma continue their relationship in the real world?

Given Sammy’s history with reality TV relationships—his previous romance with Jess ended shortly after their Love Island win—some fans are skeptical. His apparent disappointment at their placement in All Stars has only fueled speculation that he may not be as invested in his relationship with Elma as she is.

While neither Sammy nor Elma have publicly addressed their future together yet, many fans are keeping a close eye on their social media for clues about whether they will stay together or part ways now that the cameras have stopped rolling.

What’s Next for Sammy?

With his growing reality TV presence, Sammy may be looking to expand his career beyond Love Island. Having already ventured into TOWIE, it wouldn’t be surprising if he pursued more television opportunities.

For now, however, fans will have to wait and see whether Sammy and Elma’s romance stands the test of time or if their connection fizzles out as quickly as it started. One thing is for sure—Love Island viewers will be watching closely.
