She discussed not knowing how things are being perceived from the outside world
TOWIE's Elma Pazar has opened up about her time in the villa on social media, having described it as "one of the most intense" experiences of her life. The news comes after Elma recently came under the crossfire for "bullying" while on the most recent series of Love Island: All Stars.
Elma placed fifth on the show with her couple Sammy Root, who was also on TOWIE. She received a lot of backlash on the show, including for making heated comments towards Ekin-Su Culculoglu, Scott Thomas and Curtis Pritchard.
Elma has now shared a statement on Instagram about her villa experience, captioning a picture of herself and Sammy looking very loved-up. The caption reads: "What a whirlwind! Stepping into the villa was one of the most intense experiences of my life - living in a bubble, navigating emotions without the usual comforts of family, friends or even knowing how things are being perceived on the outside. It’s a lot!
"But no matter what, I’m walking away with amazing memories, incredible friendships and most importantly with Sammy! Finishing in 5th place is something to be proud of and I’m so grateful for all the love and support the both of us have had along the way. Excited for our journey and what’s next!"
Sammy Root shared a similar picture, captioned: "Home and happy :) Now that I have my phone back and we have landed in the Uk I would just like to say a massive thank you to every single person that supported myself and Elma throughout our journey.
"We had the most amazing time, made genuine friends for life and can’t wait to enjoy the future. Thank you again from Selma."
