The All Stars finalists recently returned to filming
TOWIE series 35 might've only just started, but drama-wise it already looks set to be one for the history books (you know, the kind of history book you might find at the Closer office). With news of Joe Blackman's alleged affair (Joe and now boyfriend Junaid Ahmed apparently hooked up while he was still with Harry Derbidge, eeek) soon to become public knowledge amongst the cast, Diags and Jodie Wells on the rocks and a spark sparking between Harry and Freddie Bentley confusing everyone, our TOWIE 2025 bingo cards are looking full.
Surely there's not room in this season for any more drama? Wrong – and no one could've seen this #dramz coming...
New power couple Roman Hackett and Love Island 2024 star Matilda Draper seem to have decided that the honeymoon period needs a little spice, as we think they just chucked some serious shade at Love Island: All Stars couple Sammy Root and Elma Pazar on the last day of filming series 35.
Say it ain't so? We were gearing up for SO MUCH glorious double date content from these four. Alas.
In case you're wondering why this is such a big deal, well, Roman and Sammy are best mates; best mates who we have literally never seen argue once. They're like friend friends, not TOWIE friends. So what in the TOWIE x Love Island crossover is afoot here?
Well, maybe nothing, maybe everything. While waiting to film scenes for the series 35 finale, Roman and Matilda took to Roman's Instagram to partake in a quick Q&A with fans, where one nosy fan asked (not us, just to clarify), 'When's double dating with Selma happening?'
That's Sammy and Elma's cute couple nickname btw – Elmy just didn't have the same ring to it.
In response, Roman shared a candid snap of Sammy and Elma, writing, 'When they make time for us.'
Shade.
And we do mean just shade; if you know Sammy and Roman's relationship well you know the Essex lads aren't afraid to tease each other like this, so we're hoping this is an example of that.
And to be fair, Sammy and Elma are probably exceptionally busy right now – they've gone straight from one reality show to another and then back again, with a load of press, red carpets and social media posts in between.
So yes, we really hope this is just shade and not another a sign that yet another TOWIE friendship is in trouble, 'cause even we're struggling to keep up at this point.
Not really – we've got those TOWIE history books, remember?
