Turns out Elma told producers a fairly big lie to get on Love Island

Cheeky.

Remember Love Island‘s Elma?

If not, we wouldn’t blame you.

The eyelash technician from Essex barely lasted a week on the show before being eliminated.

She arrived alongside Longford-born contestant Maura determined to shake things up in the villa but lost her place after the public chose to send her and Joe packing.

Elma’s now spilling the tea about her Love Island experience and has revealed that she bent the truth to get on the show.

She told producers that she was 23 – though she’s actually three years older.

She always lies about her age, she told Kem Cetinay and Arielle Free on Love Island‘s Morning After podcast.

“I lied about my age on Love Island. I tell everyone I’m 23, it’s a real issue,” she said.

“I’m 26 but now everyone knows it because they said they couldn’t lie for me.”

Elma also opened up about her blossoming romance with Anton in the villa.

She and the Scottish gym owner were coupled up but didn’t get a chance to see where their relationship could go as she was booted off.

Elma said she was still interested in Anton and that she would be up for going on a date with him when his time on the show is up.

But since leaving the villa, she’s also admitted to having eyes for Joe, who was coupled up with Lucie.

“He has a certain banter, and you get on with some people more than others and I think I really got on with him,” she told The Sun.
