A fair few legends have been born out of Love Island 2024. Of course, we have winners Mimii Tafara and Josh Oyinsan, but HOW could we forget the likes of Samantha Kenny, Uma Jammeh and, of course, OG Ronnie Vint?
Others, of course, have gone down in infamy - *cough cough Joey Essex cough cough*
Ronnie left the Love Island 2024 villa hand-in-hand with fellow OG Harriett Blackmore, but the couple only managed a few weeks IRL before calling it quits.
Fast forward to January 2025, and 'Turbo' Ronnie is looking for love in the All Stars villa, and call it a hunch, but we reckon a Ronnie x Harriett reunion might be on the cards in the coming weeks...
Who did Ronnie couple up with on Love Island?
It's safe to say Turbo Ronnie didn't do a Ciaran Davies on the show; Ronnie's head TURNED in the villa.
He began his journey coupled up with Jess White; while the pair had a spark, Jess felt like Ronnie's attention wasn't firmly fixated on her, as he was also flirting up a storm with Harriett. Ronnie and Harriett coupled up on day 11, and then his head turned again when bombshell Tiffany Leighton entered the game. Ronnie and Tiffany coupled up on day 16, but Ronnie went grovelling back to Harriett when Tiffany admitted to not feeling a sexual spark.
The couple were dumped from the villa on day 26.
Are Ronnie Vint and Harriett Blackmore still together?
Sadly not. In July 2024, The Sun reported that Ronnie was spotted with a 21-year-old teacher after a night out in Milton Keynes around the time of the Love Island final.
A source told the publication, 'Ronnie was in very high spirits and spent the night buying one girl champagne before they were seen leaving together.'
Another source added, 'The girl couldn't believe it was Ronnie so soon after the show.
'He didn't mention Harriett once and was acting like a single man so everyone assumed they had split up.
'She immediately told all her friends - it's not every day a Love Island star shows you attention.'
The couple stayed together after that drama, but eventually called in quits in September 2024.
Will Ronnie Vint reunite with Harriett Blackmore on All Stars?
Well, the fans certainly think so. While Ronnie is already in the villa, Harriett's bombshell status is yet to be confirmed.
In a recent interview with Ronnie, we of course had to quiz him on his Love Island ex and how he would feel if the duo ever came face to face.
'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,' he went on. 'I do think a lot of the girl.'
The couple split a few weeks after they left the show when it was reported that Ronnie had messaged someone else. Naughty Ronnie.
Talking about whether or not there would be the possibility of their love affair being rekindled, Ronnie didn't completely shoot the idea down.
'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.'
How does Ronnie Vint know Olivia Attwood?
Not only does Turbo know Love Island 2017 queen Olivia Attwood, but he played the role of best man at her wedding – he's even been on her podcast So Wrong It's Right since finding fame in the villa.
It turns out Ronnie was Liv's husband Bradley Dack's best man when the couple tied the knot in June last year.
Taking to her Instagram shortly after Ronnie's promo pic hit socials, Olivia wrote, 'Our @ronnievint is going into the villa!!!!! 🥹🥹🤗 Ron was best man at our wedding and he's literally like a brother to me - you guys are going to love him!! I know it it 🩵.'
Upon entering the Love Island villa, Ronnie revealed, 'Bradley Dack is my best friend and he and Olivia are a big part of my life. I call Olivia my big little sister, she always looks out for me.'
