Fans then previously insisted the late arrival should win the series after dishing out home truths to Harry before revealing the real reason for their split.
Yet their connection then appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA, as fans claimed the brunette's "real mask had slipped."
This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series.
In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why.
She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k."
Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that?
"I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?"
Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke.
"Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly.
"None of it was serious."
Love Island star Emma responds after Helena says she wishes she could apologise to her after brutal Harry split
SPEAK OUT
As well as his flirting with ex Shakira Khan and new bombshell Angel Swift, footballer Harry was previously seen telling his ex Emma that he still loves her, prior to her being dumped from the island.
At the time, Emma tried telling Helena what Harry had told her but the besotted star refused to believe her.
However, after seeing the clip for herself at the show's Grafties, Helena had said on Friday's episode that she wished she could apologise to her former love rival.
She also raged: "I didn't expect you to be sitting with your ex-girlfriend and saying you'll get back into bed with one another on the outside.
'You just don't shut things down, you entertain everything and everyone.'
Now Emma, who received a pre-villa glow up, has broken her silence and responded to Helena's comment.
Taking to TikTok, the brunette beauty expressed: 'Hey guys, I'm just jumping on here to address tonight's episode where Helena said she owes me an apology.
'I just wanted to say that she absolutely doesn't, there is no need to apologise to me for how she spoke to me. We both could have handled things better and I'm no angel.'
Proving there was no issue between them, she concluded: 'So no need to apologise, all good, no bad blood.'

Tonight's episode will see Harry's best mate Harry and his mum Julia arrive alongside Shakira's sister Shanti and mum Sukina. Shakira opens up to her family about her self-professed inexplicable feelings towards Harry. 'I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't," she tells her mum and sister. Her mum Sukina replies: 'What I will say, with him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me.' The other Islanders then watch on closely as the two families come together at the Firepit. Love Island fans will watch as Harry walks over to the Firepit ready to say hello and Shakira's mum refuses to stand up. 'We're not hugging Harry,' Sukina tells him definitively. She slams Harry for the way he ended things with Helena: 'I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I'm sorry, but we thought it was 'undeniable' Harry,' Sukina mocks. Love Island star Harry kisses Shakira's neck and goes in for a snog in very intimate snuggling moment The Meet the Family segment sees Islanders reunited with their family members and friends inside the villa, and has long been a staple of the series. It often delivers emotional reunions and candid chats, with some families raising concerns or giving their blessing to the couples ahead of the show's conclusion. Teased at the end of Sunday's episode, a short clip saw Toni's mum enter the villa - much to the surprise of the Islanders. "Is Toni here?" she bellowed, as the show's cast looked on in confusion.

Molly-Mae Hague sobs after being branded 'out of touch'
Former Love Island star and mum-of-one Molly-Mae Hague has addressed being called 'out of touch' by fans as she shows the realities and difficulties of motherhood in her latest YouTube vlog Molly-Mae Hague broke down in tears and sobbed in her car in her latest YouTube video as she offered a glimpse into the realities of motherhood. The former Love Island star, 26, who shares two-year-old daughter Bambi with professional boxer Tommy Fury, filmed herself crying in her car after a difficult morning with the toddler. The influencer has been incredibly open about how difficult she finds being a mum over the past two years, and in her latest vlog, Molly's patience was tested more than ever. At the beginning of the video, Molly confessed that she was apprehensive to share her struggles with motherhood after she was labelled as 'out of touch' last week after fans became annoyed when she claimed that she had not done anything fun all summer - despite going on several holidays and attending Wimbledon and DisneyLand. However, the mum-of-one decided to continue to share the difficulties of everyday life with a toddler despite the backlash. Viewers watched as Molly was reduced to tears after taking Bambi to a local farm to pet some animals. Luckily, Molly's older sister Zoe Rae was on hand to give her a break for a couple of minutes as she sobbed in the car and took a few moments to calm down and compose herself after Bambi had another tantrum. Addressing the criticism she has received, Molly insisted that she's not going to stop showing the realities of motherhood after she was labelled as 'out of touch' and 'selfish' in her previous vlog, while others slammed her parenting style with Bambi as 'too soft'. Speaking to her YouTube subscribers, Molly said through tears: "I'm trying so so hard to stay positive but, I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see like every single thing, Bambi is a huge problem, she screams and I can't even get like socks and shoes on. "I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff thats going on on TikTok at the minute, I don't care I'm not going to not talk about it. "I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot'. "Debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it." Molly then explained why her partner Tommy is not seen in the vlogs with Bambi after some fans slammed him for not being there to help Molly with parenting Bambi. "I've seen so many comments sayin Zoe is more the dad. I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week," Molly insisted. "But I Vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family. I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to." Molly's emotional breakdown comes after she was told to "get a grip" as she detailed her holiday struggles on her recent motorhome trip with Tommy. The couple have been busy mending their romance, having revealed they were getting back together in the second instalment of her Prime Video series, 'Behind It All', back in May. They took a recent trip to the Isle of Man, sharing their escapades across social media. However, after getting back, Molly-Mae told all about it and her openness didn't go down well with all her followers. 'Tommy has bought a motorhome and we spent our first weekend in the motorhome this weekend," he explained. 'Obviously, being us, we went in feet first and decided to go to the Isle of Man. "We booked the ferry, packed the motorhome up and nearly didn't make the ferry but that's another story and then there was a two hour delay. This ferry, which was already gonna get us in at 11:30pm, which was already severely triggering me because Bambi goes to bed at 7pm. 'Was not fine! It was giving me a prime example as to why the routine works for us. It was one of those moments where strangers come up to you and are like 'can I help? Is there anything I can do?' She was screaming that much for four hours straight. The boat basically had a malfunction and it wouldn't move for like two hours so we had a huge delay. She was so, so, so overtired and overstimulated - Bambi is so routine, she is the opposite of flexible.' 'We managed to get to the Isle of Man at 1:30am in the morning. We didn't know where we were, what we were doing, we were going to a different campsite to Tommy's family. It was just a lot. We had to make our bed out of this sofa, I was like 'I'm really out of my depth, I'm struggling'. 'The next day, Bambi was so tired, she was just screaming, literally screaming, so, so unhappy. 'Me and Tommy were looking at each other like 'what were we thinking?'' Things got better once she and Tommy met up with Tyson Fury, his wife Paris and their seven children. She went on: 'We were actually going to get on a ferry that day to come home because we were so out of our depth, we couldn't do it. But then, when we met up with them, we were like 'no, we're gonna stick it out, we can do this.'' One person said: 'Why is she always complaining about something? If it's not her, it's her sister How insufferable must it be living with them.' Another person chipped in by saying: 'So dramatic' while a third followers told the former Love Island star to stop moaning and "get a grip". A fourth person said: 'I personally feel it would have been so much better to wait to have children, she's so successful and mature in one way but very self-centred and immature in others as seen here.' But there were plenty supporting her, with a fan telling the star she is "handling it all superbly".
