A former Love Island star has defended Elma Pazar amid her controversial row with Curtis Pritchard on Love Island All Stars. 

The drama first kicked-off after Ekin-Su Cülcüloğluhas kissed Elma’s partner Sammy Root during the steamy heart rate challenge last week before another row exploded following the snog, marry, pie challenge.  

And on Tuesday night things got heated once again during the All Stars dinner party after Elma and Sammy asked the public whether Ekin and Curtis were the ‘weakest’ couple.

During the explosive row, Elma told Curtis to ‘f*** off and go make a f***ing coffee’ and was seen smirking as Ekin-Su shared how upset she was. 

Despite a lot of ITV viewers taking to social media to call out Elma’s actions, her pal Francesca Allen, who appeared on Love Island in 2015, spoke out to defend her.

Francesca, who is currently engaged to businessman Ed Crossan, shared a picture of Elma and Sammy on her Instagram story and penned: ‘A reminder that this is a glimpse into a 24 hour day and this is a TV show.

‘Please everyone be a little kinder to our girl @elmapazar. She’s the kindest, loyalist person I know, the labels being given is not who she is.

‘The people closest to her will know and understand this.’

Francesca begged viewers to ‘please be a little kinder online’ and insisted ‘the level of hate has gone too far’.

On Wednesday, the friends and family running Elma’s social media account also spoke out as they found the hateful comments ‘tough’.

They wrote: ‘The villa is a bubble, emotions run high and every moment is a chance to learn and grow. No one sees the full picture of a 24 hour day.

‘Some of the comments and DMs Elma has been getting, especially about her appearance, are completely uncalled for. 

‘Let’s not forget this is a TV show created for entertainment and there’s a real person behind the screen.’

However it seems the drama between Elma and Curtis is far from over as on Thursday night’s upcoming episode the pair’s very bitter feud rumbles on.

On Thursday’s show Elma and Ekin-Su attempt to reconcile before Curtis then overhears Elma talking badly about him yet again.

One on one Elma says to Ekin-Su: ‘I feel like we both got a lot off our chest yesterday… 

‘I wanna clear things up ’cause I feel like you think I’ve got a vendetta against you and in all honesty it was never about you…

‘I find Curtis very jarring… it’s a shame to me that we lost a friendship that I actually believed we were getting back.’

Ekin adds: ‘After the heart rate challenge, yes I did f**k up, which was wrong, I said sorry…all these games kept happening, you both voting us, I felt like this is becoming a pattern.’

Elma responds: ‘I think it seemed like it was becoming a pattern but it was never based on you…everything else was all to do with Curtis.’

Ekin-Su adds: ‘Unfortunately even if you are aiming it at Curtis it feels like you’re aiming it at me…’

They stay cordial and come to an understanding, but when Curtis comes over and asks to speak to Elma again, will he get the apology he still seeks?

The next morning Gabby, Elma and Catherine chat on the terrace, while Curtis, Grace Jackson and Luca Bish are on the day beds relax well within earsH๏τ of the girls upstairs.

She said: ‘Please everyone be a little kinder to our girl @elmapazar. She’s the kindest, loyalist person I know, the labels being given is not who she is’, she then insisted ‘the level of hate has gone too far’

Unaware she’s being overheard, Elma tells the girls: ‘It was never about Ekin, it’s Curtis. He’s been tested and he failed and that’s the bottom line of it.’

Gabby adds: ‘Maybe Ekin’s not the problem then..’

Catherine Agbaje adds: ‘Yes that’s what we’ve concluded.’

Meanwhile downstairs, Luca says: ‘Curtis is getting the brunt of it up there!’

Curtis adds: ‘I’m not really bothered…’

Ekin-Su comes over and hears it too.

They listen to Gabby saying: ‘I agree they’re both theatrical people, very animated, very over the top…doesn’t mean you’re not genuine it’s just the way you are together.’

Ekin-Su reᴀssures Curtis: ‘We’re better than that, I love being theatrical with you, I wouldn’t change a thing!’
