The Love Island All Stars’ most explosive feud is back on, as Curtis Pritchard snubs Sammy Root by not following her on Instagram post their fiery villa confrontation. The 29 year old dancer has shown where he stands after the pair’s on-screen clash, while Sammy, 23, still follows him. Curtis is also not following fellow islander Luca Bish, 25, despite their seeming camaraderie on the show. Adding fuel to the fire, Curtis and his girlfriend Ekin-Su Culculoglu recently shaded Sammy and Elma Pazar, their competition from the series. Both pairs reached the final but didn’t win the £50,000 jackpot. Speaking with Amy Hart on the ‘Love Island: The Morning After’ podcast, Curtis delved into the finale drama, saying: “I feel like the situations that went on… I don’t want to say we were in the wrong or the right. But I feel like we weren’t in the wrong.” Not one to hold back, Ekin-Su added: “I’m going to stand by that we were in the right. For me, that was not okay at the time.” When asked by Amy about their villa besties, Ekin-Su – Love Island royalty herself – named Nas Majeed and Oliver “Chuggs” Wallis first, reports the Mirror.
Sammy and Elma clashed with Ekin-Su and Curtis
She went on to say: “Catherine and Omar, I think Catherine’s one of my closest girls in here. Gabby, Grace… Elma, I do like but obviously in some situations, in that game thing, you kind of questioned a little bit. We’ve passed it now, you know.” Viewers were gripped as they witnessed the friendship between Ekin-Su and Elma unravel on All Stars. The pair, who had been close, hit a rough patch when Ekin-Su unexpectedly kissed Elma’s beau Sammy during the heart rate challenge, despite having assured Elma she wouldn’t. While Elma expressed that while she could ” Viewers were hooked as they watched the friendship between Ekin-Su and Elma crumble on All Stars. The duo, who had been tight-knit, hit a rocky patch when Ekin-Su unexpectedly smooched Elma’s boyfriend Sammy during the heart rate challenge, despite promising Elma she wouldn’t.
Curtis and Ekin-Su said they “questioned things” with Sammy and Elma after the game
Elma voiced that while she could “forgive” Ekin-Su, forgetting was a harder task. Things heated up when Curtis pointed out the “spite” in a question asked by Elma and Sammy during a villa game, questioning if others thought he and Ekin-Su were the weakest couple. Elma’s self-satisfaction took a blow when it was unveiled that the public believed her age gap with Sammy might impact their relationship outside the show. The conflict reached its peak when Elma told Curtis to “f*** off” and initially declined to apologise, although she did eventually say sorry, leading viewers to speculate about her intentions. As the final approached, some fans suggested her apology was tactical, with one remarking: “Nah not Elma coming to apologise cos she was vulnerable and knows she’s no longer the favourite girl.” Another hinted at manipulation: “Elma saying sorry to Curtis one day before the final…… calculated.” In the end, Elma and Sammy finished in fifth place, while Ekin-Su and Curtis clinched third place.
