Love Island star Elma Pazar reportedly promised to send a secret signal to her TOWIE co-stars while filming in the All Stars villa in South Africa.
The reality star, 32, who had her phone taken away before the series launched, has been off the grid for nearly a month.
Meanwhile, her TOWIE pals have returned to work on the show’s new series back in the UK.
Close friend Harry Derbidge revealed Elma had vowed to make a peace sign as a subtle nod to her friends who are watching at home.
He told The Sun: ‘We asked her to sneak in a little signal so we’d know she’s thinking of us.
‘I’ve been keeping an eye out, but who knows if it’ll make the final edit.’

Close friend Harry Derbidge (pictured left with Elma middle and Amber Turner, right) revealed Elma had vowed to make a peace sign as a subtle nod to her friends who are watching at home
Harry admitted her secret signal meant her TOWIE cast mates (pictured) would know she is thinking of them all before praising her for staying true to herself
Elma, who is coupled up with Ronnie Vint in this years show first made a brief appearance on Love Island in 2019 alongside Maura Higgins.
She has since found fame on ITVBe’s The Only Way Is EsSєx.
Harry praised Elma for staying true to herself in the villa, saying: ‘She’s just so funny with her one-liners. What you see on TV is exactly how she is in real life.’
While Harry admitted it’s been hard not speaking to Elma, who he talks to daily, he added that he’s really proud and hopes she goes all the way.
It comes after Ronnie’s ex Harriett Blackmore made an explosive return to the villa on Thursday night as a bombshell, where she wasted no time in locking lips with her former flame, 28, during the kissing challenge.
The juicy scenes saw Ronnie immediately recognise his ex’s kiss and award it 10 points, much to the infuriation of Elma – who had earlier accidentally said ‘I love you’ to him.
Later in the show, Ronnie publicly took Harriett to the terrace where they discussed their relationship, with the hunk admitting that all his feelings for Harriett were ‘coming back’, before declaring that ‘it’s always been you’.
The declaration left Elma stunned as she and the rest of the girls were eavesdropping on the conversation just under the terrace.

He later publicly took Harriett to the terrace where they discussed their relationship, with he candidly confessed that all his feelings for Harriett were ‘coming back’, and even admitted ‘it’s always been you’
And on Friday’s episode, after Ronnie told Harriett how he felt, she reported their conversation back to Grace Jackson and the other girls.
Harriett admitted that she was unsure where she and Ronnie stood and explained: ‘It went well, it’s a weird feeling because it’s hard not to fall back into routine…
‘I think he doesn’t know how to feel and the way that we left it, it was very much on my terms.’
Later, Ronnie pulled Elma for a chat and promised that he will be upfront with her, but that he needed a night to think on it.
He admitted to her: ‘It’s thrown me and I just want to be honest with you. I feel like I haven’t been honest with you in certain situations…’
He continued: ‘I need to sleep on it tonight and have a fresh conversation tomorrow.’

Ronnie and Harriett then headed to the firepit for another chat, but things quickly get heated.
Ronnie said: ‘I’ve obviously just had a chat with Elma. Like the comment that I asked you to be my girlfriend three times, did it come from you?’
Harriett replied: ‘No, but it wasn’t… What, was it said in that way?’ as Ronnie said: ‘Well yeah, it was like a muggy way.’
Defending herself, Harriett reᴀssured: ‘It wasn’t a muggy way Ronnie, calm down and I’ll tell you what actually happened.’
She explained: ‘I was having my conversation with you, which I was gonna keep private. I came downstairs, the girls were all on me, so I just took bits of the conversation and just said how it went.
Later in the episode Harriett chose to not pursue things with her ex for the time being and chose to couple up with Ron
‘Anywho, they said “Well, it’s just weird because he was basically saying he didn’t really like you, his feelings were fake”.’
Confronting him, she asked: ‘Did you say it was a showmance? Because every single girl there has said that you said it.’
Ronnie denied the accusation saying: ‘No, I haven’t said it’s a showmance once. What to these girls here?’
As Harriett confirmed: ‘Yeah like Kaz, Elma and all of them.’ Ronnie then angrily jumped up and marched over to set the record straight.
Also in the episode Harriett chose to not pursue things with her ex for the time being and chose to couple up with Ron.
