Elma Pazar has vowed never to leave her "true passion" behind despite rising to fame on reality TV shows Love Island and TOWIE.
The public was first introduced to the brunette beauty in 2019 when she made a short-lived but big impression in the Majorcan villa.
The now-29-year-old arrived as a bombshell alongside Maura Higgins in season five of the hit dating show, but she was given her marching orders after just a week.
Now, she is gracing our screens once again after landing a spot on the cast of The Only Way Is Essex earlier this year.
It's a position she told The Mirror she is thoroughly enjoying - much more so than her spell on the dating show as she's surrounded by similar people to herself.
And it seems fans of the show are enjoying her too, with many calling her their favourite thanks to her flirtatious banter with James 'Diags' Bennewith and hilarious behaviour, such as dressing up as a bush to spy on Pete Wicks' date with Ella Rae Wise.
The brilliant scenes saw Elma don the camouflage gear in a bid to disguise herself from the pair and, despite her failed efforts, she admits her brother printed off an image of the unusual look - a snap which now has pride of place on her fridge.
Despite the fun times on the ITVBe show, Elma is remaining firmly focussed on her day job and says she is hard at work developing her own business.
She's revealed she has no intention of quitting her role as a lashes technician, insisting her "bread and butter" will always be her business.
She gushed: "I love it. That's my bread and butter. Lashes will always be my bread and butter. It's what I enjoy. I enjoy talking to people and chewing someone's ear off while I'm doing their lashes. That for me is perfect."
Discussing how she often works late into the night because of her appointments calendar, she proudly continued: "All my clients have become my friends. I've been very lucky and I feel like lashes takes up quite a lot of my day and I'm living and breathing the business."
She launched her business prior to lockdown and believes it's now that the business is starting to come to fruition after lockdown restrictions caused chaos to the beauty industry.
TOWIE airs on ITVBe and is available on ITV Player.
