Love Island's Elma Pazar on why she turned down the chance to be an ORIGINAL Islander

She didn't apply!

Author: Alex RossPublished 28th Jun 2019

Dumped Love Island 2019 star Elma Pazar was a late arrival into this year's villa, alongside fellow bombshell Maura Higgins, but it turns out she actually had the chance to be part of the original line-up.

Joining Hits Radio's Jordan Lee on episode four of Love Island: Under the Duvet, Elma revealed the reason why she turned the opportunity down, admitting she didn't actually apply for the show.

Speaking to Jordan alongside 2018 Islander Eyal Booker, Elma said, "I didn't apply for it. Because I didn't apply, I didn't think this was something I ever wanted. I'm quite a private person, I only had 400 Instagram followers and it was de-active most of the year.

"To me, I just wasn't really ready for it, then it came and I was like 'ahhhhh', and I was like 'no, this isn't what I want.'"

Elma then revealed she was really 'dramatic' about the situation and told producers, "People actually want this, and people genuinely applied, and I just feel like it's out of order."

Meanwhile, in other Under the Duvet news, Elma and Eyal revealed what they think will go down as Casa Amor returns, and Eyal gushed about his romance with American model Delilah Belle Hamlin.
