Newly-single Elma Pazar shows off her sizzling figure in a tiny pink bikini as she parties with Chloe Ferry and Liberty Poole at Shein event in Ibiza
Newly-single Elma Pazar turned heads in Ibiza on Friday as she partied alongside Chloe Ferry and Liberty Poole at a glamorous Shein event at O Beach. It comes just hours after MailOnline revealed that the TOWIE star, 32, has split from her Love Island boyfriend Sammy Root after just four months of dating. The pair, who both appear on The Only Way Is Essex, are said to have filmed 'raw and emotional' scenes for the upcoming series, which are due to air later this year. Wasting no time dwelling on heartbreak, Elma jetted off with a bunch of stars to the White Isle with fashion giant Shein. For the Takeover event at the celebrity hot spot, she made sure to show Sammy, 24, what he's missing as she donned a skimpy baby pink bikini that flaunted her enviable figure. The reality star paired it with a matching sheer mesh skirt and added inches to her slender frame with a pair of gold wedges. Meanwhile, Chloe, 29, brought the heat in a black bikini adorned with gold hardware and mesh skirt. Liberty, 25, wowed in a baby pink floral three-piece ensemble as she showed off her stunning curves. Also at the sun-soaked event were fellow Love Island stars Danica Taylor, Kaz Crossley, and Samantha Kenny. Elma and Sammy, who reached the ITV2 final in February, recently ended their romance, leaving just one relationship formed on the latest All Stars still going strong. MailOnline understands that Sammy and Elma ended their four-month relationship over rows which took place in Portugal during filming of the latest TOWIE series. Their flirtation began on the ITVBe show but Elma insisted ahead of returning to Love Island in January that a romance between her and Sammy would be off the cards after she admitted to falling into the 'habit of going back to the same people.' Despite their eight-year age difference, the couple reconnected on All Stars and reached the final, missing out on the £50,000 prize fund to Gabby Allen and Casey O'Gorman, who also split earlier this year. Following recent breakups from Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint, as well as Ekin-Su and Curtis Pritchard, the last remaining couple from this year's All Stars series is Grace Jackson and Luca Bish. Meanwhile, Chloe, 29, brought the heat in a black bikini adorned with gold hardware and mesh skirt A source close to the couple told MailOnline: 'Sammy and Elma have called it quits. 'They split during filming of TOWIE's latest series in Portugal and the breakdown of their relationship has been captured for the show. 'It was always a gamble, particularly on Elma's part, to pursue their romance especially even their age difference. 'Sadly, everything has now fallen apart and they're not even on speaking terms.' A TOWIE insider added: 'It's not been a straightforward split between Elma and Sammy. 'Viewers will see how they navigate their feelings, as they discuss their issues to see whether they can make their relationship work going forward. 'They have a strong connection with each other and nobody really knows what will happen with them over the coming weeks. Throughout the series, which is currently being filmed, their story features some of the rawest and emotional reality TV ever shot for TOWIE.' Sammy previously won Love Island with ex-girlfriend Jess Harding in 2023 but their relationship didn't last long. MailOnline has contacted Elma and Sammy's representatives for comment. It was reported that Jess would confront Sammy on this year's All Stars series, but she pulled out of her appearance after meeting someone new. Elma is currently enjoying time away in Ibiza with fast fashion brand Shein while Sammy shared Instagram stories from Ireland. The Essex star first appeared on series five of Love Island in 2019, strutting into the villa as a bombshell alongside Maura Higgins. She was unsuccessful in finding love during her first villa stint but fell for Sammy during the All Stars series. Elma isn't a stranger to having her relationships play out on TOWIE after previously romancing co-star James Diags Bennewith. She told MailOnline ahead of All Stars: 'I do feel ready for a committed relationship; I want a fella. I want to be with someone. To do Love Island again the second time round especially five years later now I'm so much older, to go in there with no actual real want to meet someone is very stupid and embarrassing. 'I know I want to go in there and meet someone. I am very open.'
