Love Island fans think Ronnie and Harriett FAKED their split to appear on All Stars

Love Island: All Stars fans were expecting some major fireworks when Harriett Blackmore returned to the villa to confront her ex-boyfriend Ronnie Vint, after the Essex boy confessed to messaging co-star Olivia Hawkins whilst the pair were still together.

HOWEVER, following Harriett's shock entrance during Thursday (23rd January) night's show as part of this year's kissing challenge, what happened next left viewers VERY confused to say the least.

Despite being coupled-up with Elma Pazar, Ronnie decided to take his ex for a chat on The Terrace, where he confessed his feelings were returning, before going on to tell Harriett: "It's always been you."

He declared: "That feeling I had when you walked in, I felt vulnerable of letting myself go. And I feel like I can now manage that better, which I didn't do. That scared me, but that just scared me because of how much I loved you. And I didn't think those feelings would go bang."

Looking intensely into her eyes, he added; "It's always been you, you know that."

Unbeknown to Ronnie and Harriett, Elma and the rest of the girls were actually eavesdropping on the entire conversation, leaving Elma looking both shocked and upset.

Following Ronnie's words, viewers of the show were quick to comment on the situation, with many viewers being convinced Ronnie and Harriett 'faked' their split in order to both appear on the second All Stars series.

One wrote: 'Okay plot twist: what if Harriet and Ronnie never actually broke up and they both agreed to go on all Stars so they could win together?'. (sic)

Another added: 'They planned this, I don’t want to believe this is real', with someone else adding: 'It's always been you... Then why tf did you go on love island🌚🌚🌚'. (Sic)

Another wrote: 'I’m sorry but I’m really struggling to find this one bit interesting or entertaining. No one actually cares about these two . They were voted out half way through s11 by the public. They don’t need to go back on tv to rekindle the relationship'. (sic)

Somebody else commented: 'I reckon ronnie and harriet faked a breakup and both came to get back on the show with intention of coupling back up and winning because they know the public liked them. im getting instant set up vibes. explains ronnies behaviour a lot.' (sic)

However, others were quick to defend the pair, with many thinking the chemistry between the two is clear to see.

One wrote: 'There chemistry is GIVING I love them together 😭', with another adding: 'Oh you can see this man is head over heels for her'. A third wrote: 'Never seen him so emotional was actually nice to watch, I feel awful for Elma but really think Harriet is the girl for him'.

Somebody else then added: 'He loves her, this is the realest hes been over both seasons ❤️'. (sic)

During a chat with the girls after the kissing challenge, Harriett was keeping her cards close to her chest, but she did really she'd last spoken to Ronnie in December, when he was sending red roses to her door.

She also didn't seem too impressed when the girls made her aware that Ronnie called their relationship a 'showmance', but did admit she wanted to speak to her ex first before getting into their history.

In a shock to viewers, bosses chose not to give the usual 'tomorrow night' preview, leaving fans on edge! They have since released Friday night's 'First look', showing the drama from last night's actions unfold...
