LOVE Island viewers reckon they know the exact reason Ron Hall is attracted to Elma Pazar in the All Stars villa.

Ron, 27 - whose ex Lana Jenkins has given her take on his Love Island All Stars stint - entered the Cape Town compound and proceeded to chat to all of the 2025 female cast.
He made a beeline for TOWIE star Elma, 31 - and eagle-eyed ITV2 viewers now reckon they've sussed the reason why.
Elma is in a partnership with Ronnie Vint, with the footballer jokingly warning Ron not to kiss her as he pulled her for a natter.
Yet some Love Island loyals admitted they had been struck by a sense of "deja vu" during Elma and Ron's initial chat - as Elma bares a striking resemblance to his former villa bestie Tanyel Revan.

Many were convinced Tanyel lusted after the finance guru, especially after they were caught spooning bed in.
Some even insisted she was in love with him - but she told a different story after leaving Love Island back in 2023 - flat out denying any romantic connection.
Yet fans reckon there was a spark and that's the reason Ron has paid her "doppelganger" Elma his attention.
One took to X to note: "Elma looks so much like Tanyel, and Ron definitely fancied Tanyel in their season…and they’re best friends."

A third mused: "Not Ron going for a Tanyel doppelganger," as one commented: "Is Ron being cheeky cause she reminds him of Tanyel."
One then posted: "If Ron went after Elma it is weird she looks like Tanyel…."
A fan then wrote: "Ron must be getting major deja vu from Elma.. she looks just like Tanyel."
One then surmised: "Is Ron pulling Elma because she kinda looks like Tanyel?"
