LOVE Island All Stars fans reckon producers have already picked their winners – and they’re not happy about it.
Viewers are convinced that ITV is setting up Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard for the win, with many accusing the show of giving them a “winners edit” in the final stretch.
Viewers took to social media to point out the apparent shift in how the couple is being portrayed after Ekin-Su’s ongoing feud with Elma.
The outrage reached new heights during last night’s villa Talent Show,
Ekin was given a keyboard and wowed the islanders with a “masterpiece” performance—while her long-time rival Elma Pazar was stitched up with a squeaky violin she could barely play.
One viewer wasn’t buying it.
They tweeted: “Them giving Elma that silly violin and Ekin the keyboard to play that masterpiece, this villain edit is really something.”
One furious fan ranted: “Defo giving Ekin and Curtis the winners edit. I’m presuming ITV has a show lined up for them.”
Another fumed: “Ekin angel edit so close to the final and people falling for it.”
Ekin-Su and Elma have been at each other’s throats for weeks after Ekin kissed Sammy Root in a challenge early in the series.
Elma took the move personally, calling her out for being fake and branding her a game player.
Since then, she’s made plenty of digs at Ekin-Su—but last night, the feud came to a shock end as Elma apologised for “picking on” her.

In the episode, the two sat down for a conversation to address the situation.
Elma began by saying: “I felt we both got a lot off our chests yesterday. Maybe it was needed, in a roundabout way.”
Continuing, she added: “I just want clear up… because I feel like you really think I’ve got this vendetta against you.

The Sammy kiss obviously was an issue. I don’t understand where all of that anger really came from.
“I get that you were sticking up for Curtis. I personally find Curtis very jarring. That is just my opinion. You, I do not.”
Some fans weren’t convinced the moment was authentic – and shared their thoughts online.
One person wrote: “oh the producers MADE her go have that convo #loveislandallstars.”
Another added: “producers obviously forced this ekin and elma chat #loveisland #loveislandallstars.”
While a third penned: “lmaooo the producers definitely forced aunty Elma to talk to Ekin no ways that raging volcano would come speak willingly to her #LoveIslandAllStars #LoveIsland.”
A fourth remarked: “Oooohh.. The Love Island producers have stepped in and told Elma about the backlash, hence the “apology.”
