She added in the caption: 'It's giving [red flag emoji] but here we are [shrugging shoulders, rolling eyes emoji].'

Hundreds of fans liked one concerned message from a follower that asked: 'sammy???' while another followed up  'i will actually crash out if they end things [sic].'

Elma and Sammy - who ended up in fifth place - have been questioned over their significant age gap, with some fans hinting their romance was more of a 'showmance' on screen.

Last month, the couple stepped out for a swanky dinner as he gave followers a sneak peek into Gordon Ramsay's restaurant Lucky Cat.

Taking to his Instagram stories, Sammy showed their table for two and followed capturing a glamorous Elma, who flashed a glowing smile.

The reality beauty looked effortlessly stunning as she was seen lifting a glass of wine, sporting a black strapless top.

'Date night,' he simply captioned alongside a white heart emoji.

Previously during the last instalment of the ITV show, viewers begged ITV to 'wrap this show up' after learning about the nine-year age gap between the couple - reacting to the 'very weird' match.

The romance blossomed quickly inside the villa after the project manager arrived in the villa as a bombshell.

The pair have also both starred in TOWIE, with Elma joining the cast in 2022 as a regular cast member, followed by Sammy in 2024.

Viewers were quick to pick up on the difference between Sammy, who won the dating series in 2023 with ex Jess Harding, and Elma, who appeared in 2019 on the fifth series, writing on X:

'Sorry Elma is 32 and Sammy is 23 - ain’t no way #loveisland'; 'Elma and Sammy are 32 & 23… #LoveIsland';

'I like Elma and Sammy but that age gap is definitely something…. #LoveIsland'; 'So Sammy is 23 and Elma is 32. That’s a BIG gap!#LoveIslandAllStars';

'Sammy 23 and Elma 32? Wrap this show up #LoveIsland'; 'Ummm Sammy is 23years old & Elma is big 31 years old #LoveIsland';

'Damn, totally forgot how young Sammy was first time round. Going for Elma (Towie co) 9 years his junior is.. Hmm! #LoveIslandAllStars'.

Eventually, Casey O'Gorman and Gabby Allen were crowned winners of the villa by host Maya Jama.
