Who is Emily Moran?
Love Island 2025 is set to introduce a captivating new bombshell into the proceedings.
Emily Moran is a Welsh brunette who is poised to shake up the dynamics in the villa and turn a few heads.
Currently residing in Sydney, Australia, she has already made her way over to Mallorca, ready for romance and hoping find a lasting connection.
Sources close to the show revealed where Emily is originally from — and it's the same town as Love Island 2024 alumni Nicole Samuel.
They told exclusively The Sun: "Emily's originally from Aberdare, the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year's show.
"Her ex-boyfriend is tall, dark and handsome, so she'll have plenty of options when she does make it into the villa.
'Unlucky in love'
"She's been unlucky in love since moving down under and is hoping to find Mr Right with a little help from Maya Jama and the British public."
As glamorous as she is well-travelled, Emily's social media presence paints a picture of an adventurous young woman.
She enjoys beach days, often sharing photos of herself soaking up the sun in an array of stylish bikinis.
In 2024 alone, she explored a number of popular destinations, including Ibiza, Mykonos, Mallorca and the Amalfi Coast.

Emily's romantic history adds another layer of intrigue to her Love Island persona.
With a penchant for tall, dark and handsome men, she is expected to have a wide range of options when she lands in the famous villa.
As of June 10, 2025, Emily already boasts over 7,000 followers on Instagram, but that's sure to skyrocket during her time on Love Island.
Her most recent social media posts on the platform from the end of May 2025 indicate she's living the dream.
'Happy girl'
She told her followers she was a "happy girl" in one post, while another saw her say: "I love my little life".
The arrival of Emily follows reports of the first dramatic dumping of the season, where one of the original villa girls was unexpectedly sent home.
This twist, promised by the show's bosses as part of the Love Island's 10th anniversary celebrations, has set the stage for further surprises throughout the series.
A source said: 'This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. She was absolutely gutted to leave.
'But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn't the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives.
'Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.'

Love Island receive over 1,000 complaints following 'bullying' scenes
Ofcom has revealed that Love Island received over 1000 complaints by viewers about the ITV2 show last week, with many outraged by Islander Harrison's 'misogynistic' behaviour Ofcom has revealed that Love Island received over 1,000 complaints last week, with viewers accusing Harrison and other contestants of displaying "misogynistic" behaviour. A total of 1,071 complaints were made across four episodes last week, with Friday's episode drawing in the highest number - 527 complaints. Ofcom told The Mirror that 280 of the complaints were related to "misogynistic behaviour, most notably by Harrison, Harry and Dejon," while 247 focused on "bully behaviour and mental wellbeing of contestants, most notably linked to Shakira being bullied" during the 18 July episode. Meanwhile, fans had already threatened to contact Ofcom last week over Shakira's treatment by Harry, Harrison, and Dejon, particularly after Harrison referred to Shakira and Conor as a "one-sided couple." As for the other episodes which received complaints, Sunday 20 July had 222 viewers complain over "alleged misogynistic behaviour by Dejon." Meanwhile, on Tuesday, 15 July, a total of 221 viewers lodged complaints, with the majority expressing concern over the "alleged misogynistic behaviour by Harrison." However, 44 were related to "how Lauren was portrayed in the edit of the episode" and 34 were about the "alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira and Toni." For the episode on 17 July, 69 viewers complained about Harrison's "alleged misogynistic behaviour", while 27 complained about "alleged bullying behaviour and expressed concern for the mental wellbeing of Shakira." Ofcom has not yet confirmed whether it will launch an investigation into ITV in response to the complaints. ITV has several duty of care protocols in place, including providing Islanders with training before entering the villa that covers language, behaviour and the importance of mutual respect in relationships. It had been a pretty dramatic week inside the Love Island villa, with Lauren - who was previously coupled up with Harrison - being dumped from the villa after she was left single. Just a day later, viewers watched as Harrison chose to leave the villa and follow Lauren, with the controversial contestant revealing he still had feelings for him. During last Tuesday's episode, which received over 200 Ofcom complaints, viewers were left shocked after ITV aired a saucey bedroom exchange between Harrison and Lauren. Harrison could be seen reaching over to Helena and Harry's bed in the night and asking: "Do you have a condom?" Helena quickly grabbed one from a drawer, and Harry handed it over before the couple slipped under the covers. However, fans were unimpressed by the moment, especially since Harrison had recently admitted he still had feelings for his ex, Toni. Taking to X, one viewer wrote: "Did Harry just pass a condom to Lauren and Harrison???! I didn't know I was watching too hot to handle," while a second shocked fan said: "I have never. In all my years seen someone ask for a condom on #loveisland. Like yayyyyy for sexual safety but that is tooooooooooo much."

Love Island producers slammed for 'setting up' Shakira as fans beg 'leave her alone'
Love Island 2025 viewers called out show producers, convinced they had an 'agenda' against contestant Shakira Khan on the ITV2 series as they claimed she was being made to look 'mean' Viewers of Love Island said they were "getting bored" of producers "trying to set up" contestant Shakira Khan, after another drama was set to kick off. Throughout the series Shakira has found herself in the middle of villa drama, from love triangles to war of words with some of the other girls, and secret conversations being exposed. This week fans saw Shakira and villa pal Toni Laites discussing their co-stars Meg and Dejon deciding to make their romance official. Dejon had asked Meg to be his girlfriend on a date away from the villa and she said yes, before they told the other Islanders. Both Toni and Shakira made it clear they weren't sure about Dejon's motives for this, only seeming to think Meg was being genuine. Not even a day later, and this very same moment was featured in a public vote which made it clear it would be played out to the villa. With the annual villa awards, The Grafties, back it means the contestants will be treated to some moments they may not know about. With different categories and different nominees, it's bound to cause drama when it airs. Toni and Shakira's comments featured as a nomination in one of the categories, and fans are not happy. Viewers have claimed for weeks that the producers "have something against" Shakira, and Toni, believing they are constantly being "set up" to look bad, or like "mean girls". Just the other day fans believed those editing the show were trying to make Shakira look unkind despite all the drama she had been through. So when this latest incident happened and it became clear the villa would see this private chat about Dejon and Meg, fans fumed once more over it all. They accused producers yet again of stirring the pot to try and get Shakira booted off the show. Taking to social media one fan said: "The producers are really trying to make Shakira and Toni feel bad with the grafties. Can't stand what they're doing. Hope the girlies stay strong!" Another fan agreed: "The only reason the producers brought Meg back was in the hopes Connor would choose her and Shakira would be dumped from the island. Wtf is with this biased bs." A third fan said: "Producers. Can we stop with the anti Shakira agenda please." This was echoed by another fan who begged: "This year love island producers are weirddddd leave Shakira alone," as another said: "I mean the producers agenda against shakira is getting boring now." A further comment claimed: "You can tell Shakira is going home in the upcoming days the producers are setting her up." Meanwhile one viewer posted: "The producers are trying to mess Shakira up and I don't like it and they are trying to make her out to be a villain and it's not right and bringing Megan back for what she a mean girl. Why can't they leave Shakira alone they are setting her up I don't like it." Viewers will have to tune in this week to see which moments win, and what the Islanders make of all the secret goings on. Amid another big dumping on the show, there's less than two weeks before the live final.

Man details the shocking realities of living in a remote tent in the woods after shunning modern life
A man who sold his apartment to live in a tent in the woods alone has lifted a lid on his unusual lifestyle - revealing he uses baby wipes to bathe and survives off canned beans. The man, named Keith, who is in his 20s and lives in Australia, explained exclusively to the Daily Mail that the idea dawned on him after years of working tirelessly and still struggling to get by. 'No matter how many hours I worked, I'd still have nothing left at the end of the pay cycle,' he said. 'Sham contracting jobs make you liable for taxes at the end of the year.' As someone who is 'naturally introverted,' he enjoys 'solitude' and being in nature, so four months ago, he decided to leave his home and try living in the forest full time. At first he started by sleeping on the tent floor in a sleeping bag, but when he woke up 'drenched and shivering' he got creative. He bought a stretcher and started resting on that at night - and he now insists he sleeps better than he did at his apartment. 'I can sleep better in the woods than with noisy roommates,' he told the Daily Mail. The only items he has with him are some clothes, a mop to dry the floor of the tent if it rains, his sleeping bag, a portable clothesline, and 10 power banks that he uses to keep his phone charged. He sleeps at 'free legal campsites' and usually stays in the same one for a month before he is required to switch to a different campsite. He has a gym membership and goes once a month to re-charge all of his power banks. As for food, he explained that he lives off tortillas and canned beans. 'Twenty flour tortillas at $5 a pack, along with a $1 can of large canned beans (either kidney, chickpeas, lentils, baked beans) lasts me three days,' he shared on Reddit. 'I also buy high protein soy milk cartons, a carton costs me $3 and I consume them within 72 hours of opening since I don't have refrigeration. 'I also buy around 10 packets of family sized snacks (potato, corn, biscuits) for calorie bulking. 'These cost me around $2.50 each. So about $40 on snacks, plus water costs me $20 for two 24 bottled water packs. I take vitamins C, B12 and iron supplements. 'My bloodwork is normal and my BMI hovers around 19. I used to have Type 2 diabetes but it is now in remission since going on this diet.' He uses baby wipes to bathe 'every few days,' but he 'might use a smidge of hand sanitizer once a week with the baby wipes.' 'I use creek water every week or two with the biofriendly soap. I carry a bucket and bathe on the soil away from the water flow,' he added. He wears his clothes for 'three to six days' before he deems them dirty, and washes them in the river without any detergent. 'I immerse them in the flow, take them out, wring it, and repeat three times,' shared Keith. 'I wash the sleeping bag every few months at a laundromat though.' While his tent is waterproof, he said rain sometimes seeps through the seams and collects on the floor, which is why he sleeps on a raised stretcher off the ground. 'I mop up the water and occasionally spray some disinfectant on the tent fabrics during heavy rain,' he dished. As for how he uses the bathroom, he explained the campsites usually have 'drop toilets,' which are non-flush toilets that utilize a drop hole instead of water to dispose of waste. He told the Daily Mail that he has faced some life-threatening situations over the last four months of living in the woods. He said he was once worried about getting hypothermia after he 'got drenched' and once had a large branch fall off a tree and nearly hit him. 'I try to set up underneath a gap in the canopy for this reason. I also try not setting up right besides the road as a careless driver could run me over at night,' he explained. 'And [thankfully] my area stays above freezing even in winter so I just adapt.' As someone who is 'naturally introverted' he said he 'doesn't need constant social stimulation' and is happy to spend his days going on hikes. He vowed that he doesn't get lonely and is able to stay in contact with his family using his phone. He estimated that his living expenses are only $500 a month, which includes his car registration, insurance, gym membership, phone bill, food, and supplies. He lives off 'savings and welfare' and still works 'a few months in the year' to make some income, and he said the 'main benefit' so far has been cutting out his high rent. 'The benefits of this lifestyle are mainly financial, though being able to go on nice walks through the forest trials in the early morning is an underrated advantage,' he explained. While Keith knows not everyone will understand his lifestyle, in the end, he insisted that he is happier than ever. And he said he could see himself doing it 'indefinitely' as long as nothing goes astray.
