Love Island All Stars’ Ronnie Vint has teased whether he’d be open to rekindling his romance with ex Harriett Blackmore.
It’s only been a few months since the footballer, 28, left the villa after starring in series 11, where he found himself embroiled in his fair share of love triangles.
However, Ronnie is set to have another crack at the ITV2 dating show this month and he’s determined to find ‘the one’.
But while his relationship with the dancer, 24, crumbled amid cheating claims just weeks after being dumped from the island, Ronnie has admitted that he could ‘potentially’ be tempted to reignite that spark.
Speaking to MailOnline and other press ahead of the series launch on Monday, opened up about his past relationship with the beauty and how he’d feel if she entered the show as a bombshell.
He said: ‘We had something good and obviously it ended. I haven’t thought too much of her coming in but there’s no hard feelings there. This is a new chapter and I want to see where that takes me.

While his relationship with the dancer, 24, crumbled amid cheating claims just weeks after being dumped from the island, Ronnie has admitted that he could ‘potentially’ be tempted to reignite that spark
‘The memories and the experience I had with her, you can’t take away from that. I’ll always appreciate that, I do think a lot of girl.’
However, when pressed on whether he still had feelings for her, Ronnie denied this, but did not categorically rule out a reconciliation.
He explained: ‘I wouldn’t say they’re [feelings] there because I haven’t seen or spoke to her and I wouldn’t be doing this if I did have that. But who knows? If she did come in, I don’t know what could happen’.
‘Potentially, yeah, but I’m not looking at it like that. I’m looking to see if I find someone new. But yeah, like I say, there’s no bad words to say and I think a lot of her.’
Ronnie and Harriett endured a tumultuous time during their stint on the ITV2 show as they faced a number of love triangles, but soon found their way back together.
However, they were soon given the boot from the villa on day 26, after receiving the fewest votes from the public.
And in his interview, Ronnie expressed his belief that he had left too soon, before looking towards how he’ll approach the upcoming series.
He shared: ‘I felt there was so much more to give, but no, no game plan, nothing like that. Like everyone always said “Oh you you left because you was in too many triangles” and all that stuff. But obviously I don’t want to do all that again.

‘But that is me. And the way I’ll come across is me, you know what I mean? Hopefully I’ll swerve the triangles and find the one straight away and fall in love and live happily ever after.’
Ronnie and Harriett’s relationship was short-lived after they split in September following an apparent huge row.
The Sun reported at the time that they’ve gone their separate ways due them being ‘so busy’ and unable to ‘dedicate’ enough time to their relationship.
A source said: ‘They tried to make it work outside the villa but both have been so busy since getting home they’ve not been able to dedicate enough time to it.’
The publication went on to report that prior to their split, the couple had been heard arguing on the phone, with Ronnie said to be ‘fuming’ at Harriett for arriving late to his recent launch party.
The split came after the pair were embroiled in cheating rumours just days after reuniting outside the villa.
It is said that Ronnie was reportedly ‘playing the field’ shortly after his exit from the Spanish villa.
Ronnie had eyes for a stunning 21-year-old teacher during an evening out at the Blossom Room in Milton Keynes, The Sun reported.
A source revealed that Ronnie was enjoying a night out with his pals when the alleged spark ignited with the teacher at the popular cocktail bar.

‘Ronnie was in very high spirits and spent the night buying one girl champagne before they were seen leaving together,’ an insider claimed.
Adding fuel to the fire, a separate source told OK!: ‘The girl couldn’t believe it was Ronnie so soon after the show.’
According to sources the star appeared single for the night, they claimed: ‘He didn’t mention Harriett once and was acting like a single man so everyone assumed they had split up.’
However, according to The Mirror, those close to Ronnie insisted that although he did hit the hotspot for an appearance, he left on his own.
Ronnie’s representatives also concluded that he admits to having drinks with customers but didn’t go back or spend the night with anyone and therefore, completely denied the rumours.
Prior to Harriett, Ronnie said of his love life: ‘I’ve had two serious relationships in the past, but more recently have enjoyed being single and doing my own thing as I’ve been focused on my football career.’
