WHEN it come to packing on the PDA, Love Island Elma Pazar and Sammy Root won the top prize today as they returned to film Towie.
The couple have just returned from the All Stars villa but have since faced ‘showmance’ claims after their flirtation first started on The Only Way Is Essex.
Elma, 32, and Sammy, 23 - who made their romance official on Love Island - couldn't keep their hands off each other as they shot scenes for the Essex based reality show.
Wearing a barely-there outfit, Elma was seen wrapping her legs around her man as they embraced in the street.
The pair appeared to think they were alone as they snogged in the middle of the road.
Elma's dress left very little to the imagination and almost showed off her bottom as Sammy hoisted her up around his waist.
The pair were then seen joining fellow Towie co-stars, including Elma's BFF Harry Derbidge.
Both Elma and Sammy were both cast members of Towie BEFORE they coupled up on Love Island All Stars.
This caused a backlash from fans who called their relationship a "showmance"
Shortly after the Love Island final the couple appeared on the The Morning After podcast where host Amy Hart asked them if their romance will continue to play out on Towie.
She told them: “In the ITV multiverse, you guys are Love Island and Towie crossover.
“You two are going to become the power couple of Towie!”
Nodding enthusiastically Elma said: “Yeah!” While Sammy whooped and put his hand up.
However, fans were quick to suggest that taking over as the "top reality couple of ITV" had been Elma and Sammy’s plan all along.
One wrote: “Elma and Sammy seem so fake. Like they didn't realize towie starts filming next week. You know they talked about it. Why not not say so.”
Another said: “Elma and Sammy were always going to make the final. They are on one of ITV’s longest running shows. Towie plug for ITV, it’s all business, it’s all a rig.”
Elma first appeared on series five of Love Island in 2019 but was dumped after six days. She joined Towie in 2022.
Sammy won the 2023 series of Love Island with ex-girlfriend Jess Harding. He made his Towie debut last year.
Fans previously pointed out a 'clue' the couple were an item before All Stars.
One reposted a scene from Towie in December showing Elma and Sammy confessing their romance was "getting there step by step".
Eagle-eyed fans spotted a comment on Sammy's Instagram from Elma from eight weeks ago.
She posted a string of heart hand emojis, with Sammy responding by posting the couple holding hands.
