Ronnie Vint takes savage swipe at ex Harriett Blackmore ahead of All Stars reunion
LOVE Island star Ronnie Vint has taken a savage swipe at ex Harriett Blackmore ahead of their All Stars reunion.
Ronnie, 28, is set to make his return to the villa later this month in a bid to find love a second time on the show.
It comes after The Sun revealed yesterday that his ex Harriett, 24, is also making a comeback as a bombshell.
It comes just two months after Ronnie told The Sun that he had “left the door open” on a romance with Harriett.
But Ronnie has now done a major U-turn and has confessed that he no longer has feelings for the brunette beauty.
Speaking to The Sun, Ronnie said: “I don’t know what will happen until it happens – but there’s no hard feelings towards her.
“The experience I had with her, I can’t take away from that.
“I will always appreciate that, I do think a lot of the girl.”
When asked if he still had feelings for Harriett, Ronnie bluntly said: “I wouldn’t say they’re there, because I haven’t seen or spoken to her and I wouldn’t be doing this if I did have that.
“But if she did come in, I don’t know what could happen.”
Discussing if they could rekindle a romance on the spin-off show, Ronnie made it clear that he wanted to date some new girls – and won’t be putting all his eggs in her basket.
He went on to say: “Potentially [we could rekindle something], but I’m not looking at it like that, I’m looking to find someone new.
“But there’s no bad words about her and I think a lot of her.”
Harriett and Ronnie got together during last summer’s edition of the ITV2 dating show but split in September last year.
Big bombshell
Sources close to the former couple have revealed that Harriett has a one-track mind to win back her ex after they quietly attempted to give their romance another go a few weeks ago.
The pair had begun to grow close again before Ronnie jetted off to South Africa.
Now The Sun can reveal how Harriett plans to seal the deal by clawing him back on the show.
She has even told pals she thinks it would be a fool-proof way of them reaching the show’s final after their earlier than expected exit last summer.
An insider told The Sun: “Harriett has signed up for All Stars after it was confirmed her villa ex Ronnie would be making his way to South Africa.
“She is desperate to get him back and she thinks he is still harbouring feelings for her.
“Whilst to the public it seemed that it was very much over for the pair, behind closed doors it has been a completely different story with the duo spotted locking lips just weeks ago at a celeb-packed Xmas event.
“It has been a rocky road for the couple but Harriett thinks there is no better place to get things back on track than the All Stars villa.
“She has the whole thing mapped out in fine detail but as she is expected to arrive later in the programme’s run as a bombshell, could Ronnie’s head have already been turned before his ex arrives?”
Harriett and Ronnie called it quits in September last year amid claims of cheating and increasingly hectic work schedules.
But just last November, Ronnie hinted he was keen to finally get back with stunner Harriett in an interview with The Sun.
He said: “I think a lot of the girl and I always said our journey might start again, who knows…”
When quizzed over whether he’d like to rekindle his relationship with Harriett one day, he said: “Yeah, definitely. I would never close it off.”
