Love Island's Harriet and Ronnie: A timeline of their relationship

ITV producers have watched the drama unfolding in the Love Island All Stars villa, and decided they want to throw in a grenade, in the shape of Harriet Blackmore. She and Ronnie Vint, who is currently coupled up with Elma Pazar, met in the villa last summer, with the 24-year-old reportedly heading to South Africa to stir things up.

According to the Daily Mail, "Harriett can't wait to confront Ronnie for embarrassing her in front of the nation and will be going into the villa with all guns blazing. She had no idea he had been messaging so many other girls during their time together and it's been frustrating for her to see this all play out on the show without having her say.

"As well as Ronnie, she will have words for Olivia because her girl code wasn't the best. Harriett is still looking for love and hopes her ITV comeback will see her connect with a man who's willing to settle down and be faithful."

But what actually happened between Harriet and Ronnie? Here's a look back at their relationship.

Harriet and Ronnie were both in the Love Island series 11 villa from day one, and, after being coupled up with other people by the public (Harriet with Ciaran and Ronnie with Jess W), they paired up during week one of their experience.

Ronnie's head was turned when Tiffany came in as a bombshell, and the pair were in a slight love triangle, before finding their way back to each other and coupled up again. Eventually, they were dumped from the villa on Day 26, before Casa Amor started, due to the lowest number of votes from the public.

The pair were together for around six weeks following their time in the villa, with Ronnie revealing things were going well, but he didn't want to feel pressured to put a label on anything.

In early September, he said, "Me and Harriett are getting on really well together – things are going so well, I just feel like when you come out [of Love Island] there is so much pressure of making something official, and I’m so close to doing it, but at the minute I don’t want to be forced into doing it for likes and reactions."

Ronnie also denied cheating allegations, after the internet speculated he was spotted with a woman on a night out in Milton Keynes, while onlookers claimed he was also arguing with Harriet over the phone. He told The Sun, "I've been doing PAs, and obviously I'm going to take photos with girls and whatever, but there is nothing else, and she knows that, and obviously that's the life we live now.

"If someone is close friends with me, and I'm talking to her, someone is going to try to take a photo, and that's what it can look like. She obviously knows that deal, and what happened, because I went back that night and I FaceTimed her in bed, so she knew straight away that nothing happened, but then the story came out."

The pair's Love Island co-star Matilda Draper then confirmed their breakup in a TikTok posted on the 8th September, where she could be seen strutting down the street alongside Harriett with the caption "When your bestie is single with you 💆🏽‍♀️💅🏼🩷💕"

Harriet then told The Sun, "Ronnie and I have split and these things happen. I love him so much but it just didn’t work as a relationship and that’s fine. We shared the most amazing experience together and I always have so much love and respect for him. I’m not saying no, but for now we’re taking a break from the relationship."

Ahead of his appearance on Love Island All Stars, Ronnie was asked how he would feel about coming face to face with Harriet - and his answer was very diplomatic.

"I don't know until that happens, but there's no hard feelings towards her,' he admitted. "The memories and the experience I had with her, I’ll always appreciate that. I do think a lot of the girl. I haven’t seen or spoke to her and I wouldn’t be doing this if I did have that. Who knows, if she did come in, I don’t know what could happen."

During an early episode of Love Island All Stars season two Olivia gave Ronnie a red flag during a game, telling him, "You did message me when you were with another girl." Ronnie replied, "But like seeing a girl or being in a relationship with another girl are two different things, no?"

Harriet commented on the Reel of the Love Island moment with "LOL guys 🙃🙃🙃"

THEN, Ronnie's good friend Olivia Attwood (of Love Island series 2 fame) piped up about the situation, saying on social media, "My information is and my stance on this - not backing Ron, he shouldn't have messaged someone if he was in a situationship, whatever, I don't know the status of him and Harriett at that time. But Olivia was very engaged in the messaging back and forth.

"He wasn't talking to himself and I think the picture of him holding Harriet's hand, she photoshopped her face onto it and sent it back to him."

This tea is piping hot.

Love Island All Stars continues at 9pm on ITV2.
