LOVE Island couple Elma Pazar and Sammy Root have SPLIT four months after leaving the villa.
The pair, who found love on All Stars earlier this year, have decided to separate to work out issues in their relationship - but have not ruled out a reconciliation in the future.
Sammy, 24, and Elma, 32, who both star on the hit ITVBe show Towie, have filmed "raw and emotional" scenes for the new series, which will air on ITV2 and ITVX later this year.
Viewers will get to see their break-up and the aftermath play out on screen, including how they navigate their relationship going forward.
An insider told The Sun "Elma and Sammy aren’t together right now, but there is a lot of love still between them.
"It’s not a straightforward split, viewers will see how Elma and Sammy navigate their feelings on Towie, as they discuss their issues to see whether they can make their relationship work going forward.
"They have a strong connection with each other and nobody really knows what will happen with them over the coming weeks."
The insider said that the pair, who are currently filming the new series of Towie, will have many heart-to-hearts on camera that will reveal the reasons behind their break-up.
They added: "Throughout the series their story features some of the rawest and emotional reality ever shot for TOWIE."
At the end of last series, Elma and Sammy were greeted by cheers from their Towie co-stars as they made their return to the show.
The couple took a break from filming Towie while starring on Love Island All Stars.
At the time, Elma revealed why she thought her relationship with Sammy was going to last after leaving the villa.

She said: "We have not been in each other's pockets, which I think is very healthy. We have both gone back to our lives which is nice.
"We have still got each other - we speak every single day, and I met his family.
"Our families watched us for the last few weeks and probably feel like they know us inside out so it is nice for them to meet us properly."
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.
Towie fans were delighted to see Sammy and Elma's romance blossom on All Stars and they went on to finish in fifth place.
