Love Island: All Stars OG Ronnie Vint has exhibited time and time again that he can talk his way out of pretty much anything. He might do it with a lot of staged bumbling and bemusement, but he always manages to break free unscathed, doesn't he?
How many times in the last couple of weeks have we witnessed Elma Pazar confront him over calling another Love island girly 'fit' or 'hot' or, you know, even taking them to the Secret Garden for some not-so-secret smooching, and be back in the TOWIE star's good books by the next advert break? Three. But, still, it's a gift.
As good as the Love Island 2024 star is at dodging those bullets, we have a feeling he's going to have to bring his absolute A-game to the fire pit when his ex Harriett Bombshell storms the villa and inevitably pulls him for a chat.
Ahead of her entrance tonight, she told show bosses, 'I definitely need to have a conversation with Ronnie, I think that’s important. I don’t know how I’m going to feel when I see him, I haven’t seen him in months, we last spoke in September.'
Obviously, viewers have only seen a blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip of Harriett strutting into the villa (shown as the teaser at the end of last night's episode), so fans don't quite know how Ronnie is going react just yet (saying that, he's obviously aware she could be waiting in the wings).
But, we do...
Well, we know how the person running Ronnie's Instagram account has reacted to her All Stars promo picture, at least.
'Ronnie' left an eyes emoji in the comments section of the stunning snap of Harriett and we have a feeling this is actually a fairly accurate prediction of what Ronnie's in-person reaction will be tonight.
After coupling up in the Love Island 2024 villa (despite a few bombshell hiccups) and dating for a few weeks over the summer, Harriett confirmed she’d split from Ronnie in an iconic TikTok with bestie Matilda Draper in September. Several weeks later, she spoke out about the breakup.
During an exclusive chat with heat at the NTAs after party, Harriett revealed, 'I did actually finish things with him, but I'm not saying it's a no forever, it's just for now.
'I think we both need to work on ourselves and he's the most amazing boy ever and I've shared such a special experience with him.'
Ready for round two?
