The latest series of Love Island is just around the corner, but we’re still thinking about this year’s All Stars Islanders – especially that only two of the finalist couples are still together. Fourth place Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame were the first pair to go their separate ways after leaving the villa, then winners Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman called it quits and, most recently, third place Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard split earlier this week. At least Grace Jackson and Luca Bish and Elma Pazar and Sammy Root are still going strong, eh?
Speaking of Sammy, he recently debuted a new look on Instagram and he looks GOOD.
The Love Island 2023 winner shared a video of himself updating his trademark shaggy brunette hair with a trim and some blond highlights at Lucas Hair in West Malling, Kent and he pulls off his new look oh so well.
Sammy shared a glimpse of his new hair on social media and wrote, ’I did a thing 💆🏼♂️.’
His followers were loving the highlights and flooded the comments section with compliments, with one remarking, ‘Sammy rocking the guylights! 🔥 xx.’
‘Sexy as hell 😍,’ added another, while a third commented, ‘Looks good!’
Sammy’s not the only one to undergo a hair transformation this week as his other half Elma recently revealed a new look after refreshing her balayage for summer.
Sammy and Elma already knew each other before they appeared on All Stars, having appeared on TOWIE together. They flirted up a storm during last year’s Christmas special and then Sammy entered the villa a month later and invited Elma to a sleepover in the Hideaway.
They coupled up and made it all the way to the final, where they finished in fifth place, without many bumps in the road.
