Love Island’s Elma Pazar reveals she's gone back to work - nine days after show axe
She lasted six days in the villa
Last updated 2nd Jul 2019
Love Island was cruel to Elma Pazar. Fans genuinely warmed to the chirpy Essex woman, but she was booted off the island after less than six days when the public were forced to choose between her and Anton Danyluk. Harsh!
And now she's admitted that rather than living the newly-hatched celeb high life, she's returned to her job.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Closer Online, when asked what she’d been up to since leaving the villa, Elma said, "I’ve been doing interviews. Otherwise, I haven’t been doing much. I’ve gone back to work."
A quick scan of her Instagram account, though, reveals that she's managed three #ads in the nine days she's been out; which isn't bad going.
Elma works as a beautician in Essex and, before the show, said her claim to fame was doing the eyelashes of some of the TOWIE cast.
She's also caught the eye of former TOWIE star Jon Clark who is apparently trying to set up a date with her. So, it's not to huge a leap of the imagination to see with a starring role in the Brentwood-based reality show soon.
Love Island cast 2019 - what did they do before the show?
Amy Hart
Amy is the 26-year-old Islander from Sussex who has never had a boyfriend before.
She worked as an air hostess and cabin crew manager for British Airways for eight years.
On launch night, Amy announced on Instagram that she had left her old job to "start a new adventure."
Amy has also taken part in beauty pageants and was crowned Miss United Kingdom in the Miss Beautiful International Pageant in 2017.
Anna Vakili
Anna Vakili, 28, is a pharmacist from London, recognised for her 'Kardashian-like' features.
Anna studied hard with her education and achieved a masters before becoming a pharmacist.
The Islander has a Middle Eastern background and is a popular figure on Instagram (according to Sherif).
A source told The Mirror, "Anna is well known in the London clubbing scene. She loves the attention of nights out and you'll always find her in the VIP section surrounded by men".
Joe Garratt
Joe is a 22-year-old sandwich maker from South East London.
He owns his own catering company, but used to be a semi-professional rugby player.
Joe even brought his own sandwich platter to his photoshoot for the Love Island press day, made up of his signature filling, called the "Joe Special".
Michael Griffiths
Michael is a straight-talking Scouser and real life hero who saves lives for a living.
The 27-year-old firefighter from Liverpool entered the iconic Spanish villa on the opening night and revealed that he also has a degree in bio medical science.
Yewande Biala
Yewande is the 23-year-old scientist from Dublin who is in the villa to find her dream man.
Yewande has specialised in finding a cure for cancer after starting her degree at the age of 16. She used to work 60 hours a week as an oncology vaccine specialist.
Sherif Lanre
Sherif Lanre, 20, is from Lambeth and worked as a chef and semi-pro rugby player before entering the Love Island villa.
The London lad regularly shares videos of himself on Instagram coaching a gym class.
He said, "I'm upbeat and cheeky and outrageous with my own friends so hopefully that continues in the villa. I'm always on a mission to make people laugh."
Anton Danyluk
Anton claims to be the first ever Scottish man to appear on the ITV2 dating show.
The 24-year-old is a proud gym owner who displayed his self-confidence in his Love Island introduction video.
He confessed, "That's a medical condition that I have... a wandering eye!
"I've never really been loyal in any of my relationships."
Callum Macleod
Before going on the show, Callum worked as an aircraft engineer in South Wales.
The 28-year-old hunk shares his name with a British racing car driver and a cricketer, but strangely is related to neither of them.
Callum enjoys playing rugby in his free time and appears to be a family man, regularly sharing snaps of his loved ones on social media.
He also enjoys luxury holidays and nights out, with Instagram snaps showing various nightclubs and shots from Ibiza, Marbella and Dubai.
Lucie Donlan
The blonde beauty from Newquay, Cornwall worked as a surfer and glamour model before entering the villa.
Lucie likes the "typical surfer look" and previously dated last year's Islander Charlie Frederick.
The male contestants are going to have to 'graft' hard to keep Lucie interested, as she confessed she gets bored easily and doesn't usually stay in relationships longer than six months.
Tommy Fury
The 20-year-old professional boxer from Manchester is most well-known for his famous brother and former boxing World Champion Tyson Fury.
Tommy Fury was trained by boxing legend Ricky Hatton and made his boxing debut in December in 2018.
The fighter is pretty self-confidence and described himself in his opening video as, "honest, charismatic and charming".
Amber Gill
Amber Gill worked as a beautician in Newcastle before strutting into the Love Island villa on the first day.
The 21-year-old specialised in lashes and facials, but also worked as a model for online clothing brand Fash1.UK.
She also seems to be pals with former Geordie Islanders, Ellie Brown and Adam Collard.
Curtis Pritchard
Curtis Pritchard is most well-known for being the brother of Strictly Come Dancing professional, AJ.
Curtis is an amazing ballroom and Latin dancer too, and has featured on Dancing with the Stars Ireland as a professional dancer.
The 23-year-old dancer from Shropshire recently hit headlines in December 2018, when he and his brother AJ were assaulted in a nightclub in Cheshire.
Curtis had surgery on his knee and suffered injury to his eyes and face while AJ suffered from bruising.
Molly-Mae Hague
Molly-Mae Hague was the first bombshell to enter the villa this year.
The 20-year-old from Hertfordshire claims her occupation is a social media influencer and she is really proud of how far she has come in her career.
Molly-Mae believes she has done really well for herself and said, "considering the small town I come from, I've moved out, got my own flat and grown my Instagram following to over 150,000 to make it my job."
Danny Williams
Danny Williams was the third male bombshell to arrive at the Love Island villa.
The six foot two model from Hull caught they eye of another mega stature housemate, Arabella Chi.
Danny, 21, has already made his mark in the modelling industry, having worked with GymShark, Moschino and Mr. Porter.
The popular model has also featured on the cover of a popular magazine with Little Mix stars Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards. Lucky him!
Elma Pazar
Elma Pazar is a beautician and was surprisingly the first Essex resident to appear on the ITV2 dating show in the 2019 series.
Her claim to fame is that she has done eyelashes on some of the girls from The Only Way Is Essex.
Maura Higgins
Maura Higgins, 28, was the third female bombshell to enter the Love Island villa.
The Irish grid girl and model is from County Longford and has worked with famous faces through her modelling work, including former One Direction star, Liam Payne.
In 2017, Maura starred in Liam Payne's music video for his single Get Low.
Tom Walker
Before entering the villa Tom was a model and has shared plenty of snaps from shoots on his Instagram page. He's even previously appeared on TV and billboards. He rates himself a "solid 8" out of 10 and says he "appreciates" he's "been blessed" in the looks department.
Jordan Hames
Manchester born Jordan Hames is a 24-year-old model who starred alongside David Beckham during Adidas' World Cup campaign. Talk about claim to fame, ey?
Arabella Chi
Arabella became the fourth female bombshell and she just happens to be a model. She's worked for ASOS and has even (surprisingly) modelled maternity clothes.
Despite her job, the 28 year old has admitted she's reluctant to date other models because arrogance is a turn off for her and according to the star "you meet a lot of them in modelling".
Her claim is previously dating Charlie Frederick and she's pals with Montana Brown who has revealed her sneaky motive for the show.
Belle Hassan
Belle was a Casa Amor bombshell and the only lady who managed to get it on with Anton. She's 21, from Bromley and if you think she's great at doing makeup it's probably because she's a makeup artist.
Joanna Chimonides
Joanna, 22, managed to turn Michael's head in Casa Amor. She's from London and before entering the villa she was a recruitment consultant.
Jourdan Riane
Danny was unlucky in love - both Yewande and Arabella were booted from the villa - but he quickly got over it when 24 year old Jourdan arrived. Before going on the ITV show, Jourdan was a model, actress and influencer.
Lavena Back
Lavena didn't last long in the Love Island villa - bless her - but on the plus side she has 50k followers and is a business developer, so she can always go back to doing that...
Maria Wild
Another Casa Amor bombshell that we barely saw was Maria Wild. The 22 year old is from Cheltenham and if reality TV doesn't work out for her she can go back to VIP hosting.
Nabila Badda
Before Nabila, 29, entered the Love Island villa during the Casa Amor stage she was a hostess in London.
Dan Rose
Dan barely got any screen time, can you actually remember seeing him in Casa Amor? Us neither. Oh well, the 21 year old from Essex gained a few thousand followers and can continue being a bathroom salesman.
Dennon Lewis
Dennon from Watford almost managed to steal Maura's heart in Casa Amor but it didn't work out. Luckily, the 22 year old is a professional footballer so we reckon he flew straight back to his regular job after being dumped from the villa.
George Rains
Ahh George. He barely said anything during his time in the villa but he did spill the team when Closer Online caught up with him... The 22 year old is from Essex and if he's had enough of reality TV then he's got his job as a builder to go back to.
Marvin Brooks
Marvin, 29, tried to luck with Maura but it wasn't meant to be. The personal trainer and ex royal navy officer from Bournemouth then tried to crack on with Amber Gill but she wasn't feeling it.
Ovie Soko
Ovie. He rivals Maura when it comes to the best Love Island 2019 contestant. The 28 year old from London was a professional basketball player before entering the villa and we doubt he'll completely give up his career for reality TV.
Stevie Bradley
Stevie is a 21 year old student from Isle of Man. The Casa Amor bombshell snogged Lucie but things didn't work out in the end.
Harley Brash
Harley, 20, from Newcastle managed to turn bombshell Chris' head. The estate agent was booted from the villa days after entering it but she walked out with Chris on her arm, so not a complete loss.
Greg O'Shea
Greg is the Jamie Jewitt of Love Island 2019. The 24 year old professional rubgy player (err, hello hun) is from Ireland. Obvs. His Irish accent is everything.
India Reynolds
India won Ovie over straight away, maybe being the same age - 28 - had something to do with it? Or maybe the fact that the star from Reading is a model.
Chris Taylor
Chris is perfect for reality TV; he's hilarious, unique and we can all relate to him - tbh. The 28 year old is from Leicester and is a business development manager. After entering the villa he revealed he had been creating a website alongside his friend: "The idea of it is a social support network for new and upcoming dog owners".
Francesca Allen
Essex bombshell Francesca is 23 and she's a clothing store manager and co-owns her own Boutique. You go girl!
After leaving the show most of the contestants have personal appearances, Instagram sponsorships and clothing brand deals thrown at them, and the Islanders tend to say goodbye to their past lives.
Past contestants have gone on to do a variety of different things. Series one runner-up Jon Clark went on to land a spot on TOWIE and so did Kady McDermott from series two (once she started dating TOWIE star Myles Barnett.)
Series two runners up Alex Bowen and Olivia Buckland landed their own TV show in the run up to their marriage and Olivia featured on Say Yes to the Dress. The Love Island couple have reportedly earned £4.4 million since leaving the show in 2016.
Last year's winner Dani Dyer now has her own clothing range with In the Style, which is thought to be worth £750,000. However, Dr Alex George from Love Island 2018 has returned to his career as an A&E doctor.
