It comes after viewers have hit out at Elma Pazar for crying after Scott Thomas quit the show – just hours after telling him to leave.

Dramatic scenes during Sunday’s episode saw Elma and Scott have an explosive row after he told Tina Stinnes that he didn’t feel a spark after recoupling with her.

Elma was furious at Scott as she accused him of having had two ‘blinding’ girls, Indiya Reynolds and Tina, but not being interested in either of them – before saying he should just go home.

The following day, Scott pulled his friend Luca Bish to the firepit to chat where he announced he was leaving, before breaking the news to the other Islanders.

The Islanders were gutted at Scott’s decision to leave and started crying, including Elma.

Scott, 36, announced he was leaving the villa and going home during Sunday night’s episode, following the explosive row with Elma and Tina.

In a dramatic move that has left the villa in shock, Scott packed his bags and left the ITV show after deciding it ‘wasn’t for him’ and struggling to find a genuine connection with Tina and axed islander India Reynolds.

Pulling Luca Bish over to the fire pit first he said: ‘I just wanted to let you know first. I can’t force connections and I feel like I’ve come here and done everything I wanted to do. I just have to be true to myself.’

Telling the rest of the islanders, he said: ‘I don’t want this to be sad guys because I’ve had the best time ever but I’ve made the decision to leave.

‘I’ve had the best time ever. Every single one of you is amazing.’

The hunk, who first appeared on series two, was in a couple with Tina, 29, but after recently having doubts, Scott called time on the relationship.

Elma locked horns with Scott after he called things off with Tina, admitting he should ‘leave the villa’ and ‘go’ because ‘nothing was here for him’.

Earlier in the week, Elma and Luca Bish were given the tough decision to save Tina for Scott meaning Kaz Crossley, Naz Majeed and Montel Mckenzie were sent packing.
