While Love Island: All Stars 2025 was full of juicy surprises, one thing we saw coming from a mile off was Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint rekindling their love affair.
Even before we knew for certain they had joined the cast, well, it was just a given wasn't it? And while the majority of Love Island fans were here for the reunion, one individual who had mixed views about the recoupling and wasn't afraid to share them with hundred of thousands of her loyal fans was Ronnie's best mate, Olivia Attwood – as in Love Island 2017 star turned ITV legend Olivia Attwood.
A little history lesson in case you've had a life for the last two months instead of just staying in and watching All Stars every night (no judgement here – that's us and we're poor), Ronnie and Harriett got together on Love Island 2024 and split shortly after the show following a cheating allegation. The pair then became heavily rumoured for All Stars 2025.
When Ronnie rocked up as an OG on day one and Harriett started posting red herrings on her Instagram, fans knew a Love Island reunion was imminent. While Harriett maintains that she didn't take part in All Stars to get back with Ronnie, that's exactly what ended up happening and we can exclusively confirm that they are still together and Ronnie is planning to ask Harriett to be his girlfriend any day now.
Now, naturally, as Ronnie's bestie, Olivia was bound to have some thoughts about his ex and his decision to get back with her, and let's just say, while Liv's never said anything super shady about Harriett, she has shared reservations and thoughts and seemed genuinely shocked when Ronnie told Olivia that he's going to ask Harriett to be his girlfriend during their villa video call.
heat caught up with Harriett and Ronnie in person earlier this week and, naturally, we had to get Harriett's views on what Olivia's been saying.
In an almost chivalrous way, Ronnie jumped in exclusively telling us, 'Everything's sweet. The thing is with Liv, she knows what she's doing. She's been in the industry for so long. She has my best interests at heart, I couldn't say a bad word about her. With Harriett, she loves her; we were on the phone yesterday and we spoke for a long time. And we're [recording] her podcast today, so [if things aren't good] then we'll have to sort it out, won't we?'
Harriett added, giggling, 'Yeah, live on the podcast.'
We have to admit, Harriett's face remained rather stoic during Ronnie's speech, so no doubt Harriett and Ronnie's episode of So Wrong It's Right it's going to pretty spicy.
Ronnie added, 'For me, there's no issue. The way [Olivia] talks is just the way she talks. She has no filter, does she?'
We all had a giggle at this and we mentioned to Harriett that her and Liv have that in common, to which she said, 'That's what I mean, I'm quite like that.'
