LOVE Island star Yasmin's sister is convinced that exes Emma and Harry have a secret game plan, and hinted at a pre-villa pact.

Later in the conversation, she added: 'We're stuck for life', while Harry confessed: 'I can't compare anyone to you,' before adding, 'Of course I love you, of course I always have love for you.' Now, Yasmin's sister has shared her thoughts on them having a master plan. Read More on Love Island In a recent clip, someone said to Zara that Emma reminded them of Fiona from Netflix hit Baby Reindeer. Zara replied: 'This comment made me laugh. Feel free to disagree with me but I don't think Emma and Harry ended up on the same season of the same show was a coincidence. 'There's something weird going on between them and I can't figure out what their plan is but something is going on. This wasn't a coincidence.' She continued: 'Didn't Harry say he sent her flowers or something in February? There's something that doesn't match up. Most read in Love Island Love Island bombshell Yasmin slammed as 'game-player' as she throws villa into chaos by snogging Harry AND Dejon before row with the girls 'I don't know them personally but the fact she said she'd get back together with him at some point… I think with most people and their exes they think 'Ok that's done now.' 'But for Emma the door was still open so I really don't think it's a coincidence that they've ended up on the same show.' And another of Emma's exes believes she's gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back. The source told us: 'Her ex and everyone else don't think there's any other reason to go on that show apart from to get back with him. "That's been the plan the whole time, everyone is 99% sure it was planned.' The lad dating Emma called it quits after the Love Island line-up was revealed and she told him about Harry. In a string of cutting messages exchanged on Instagram, which have been seen by The Sun, Emma ripped into Harry's looks, calling him 'butters' and saying he had 'got so skinny since I haven't been feeding him.' 'She literally said he 'wouldn't stand a chance now' and told me she couldn't be bothered with the producers messaging her about going on the show,' the insider added. 'It was all very strange because she was asking for a serious relationship with this guy but at the same time she was talking about Harry and Love Island all the time.' They tell us she was initially very against the show and ruled out entering but in a dramatic u-turn that left fans shocked, she made a surprise entrance and then set her sights on him once again. 'She said she wanted to be the bigger person,' they told us, 'but now she's trying to win the whole thing with the same guy she was mocking.' 5 Yasmin's sister has shared her thoughts on them having a master plan Credit: zarasworld17/TikTok 5 Another of Emma's exes believes she's gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back Credit: Eroteme

My dad was bludgeoned to death in bed in mystery random attack as I slept feet away – his killer was never caught
LIKE many little girls, Emma Childerley had a fear of things that go bump in the night. However, it wasn't the bogeyman she was terrified of, but a real-life monster who had bludgeoned her parents in the room next door when she was just five - and never been caught. 9 Emma Childerley was just 5 when her dad & mum were brutally attacked in the next room 9 Dad Kevin died in the attack, carried out with an axe or cleaver, while mum Denise suffered terrible injuries Credit: Focus Features 9 Miraculously Denise survived but was left with life-changing injuries Credit: Focus Features 9 Emma is still haunted by the killer Credit: Focus Features Her father Kevin, aged 30, died at the scene in Incredibly, she survived but has been left with life-changing injuries. With the killer still on the loose, Emma, 40, is now appealing for someone to come forward with information that will lead to the justice her family needs. It comes as cops confirmed they had arrested a woman in connection with the case and stepped up their investigation. Mum of three, Emma, now living in Blackburn, Lancashire, says: 'I was a daddy's girl. We were so close, and his murder tore our family apart. Robbed of memories 'We were robbed of a lifetime of memories, and instead I had a childhood filled with pain and fear. I missed him so much. 'Because Dad's killer was never caught, I became terrified that the murderer was hiding in my built-in bedroom wardrobes, or in the garage outside. 'Mum was so badly injured that I didn't even recognise her when she came out of hospital. 'Those months afterwards were hard, and though we've moved on with our lives, the pain never goes away. I think of my Dad every day. The Killer Clown: Murder On The Doorstep, Sundance 'I need justice and closure, for Dad and for me.' Before the horrific events of that night, Emma says she and her father were 'best friends'. She says: 'I remember watching Top of the Pops with him, singing along to Madonna's 'True Blue'. 'He was a miner; he worked hard for his family. He was a joker too; we'd play tricks on my mum and make her laugh. 'Dad took me to school on his motorbike each morning. We both wore helmets, but he'd keep his on as he walked through the playground, so all my friends thought he was an astronaut, which I loved. Happy normal family 'We were just a normal, happy family.' The attack took place on what seemed to be a regular evening, on which Emma's parents had gone out to a nearby social club while a babysitter had stayed with Emma and her five-month-old baby brother. Her parents had come home and gone to bed before the attack took place and hearing the comotion, neighbours called the police. 9 Emily (pictured with her dad and brother at the age of five) says that growing up she was a 'daddy's girl' Credit: Focus Features 9 She has a tattoo in honour of her late father on her back Credit: Focus Features 9 She and her mum Denise, now 69, are still desperate for answers about what happened that night Credit: Focus Features She says: 'I was woken in the night by a police officer telling me to get dressed, and not to switch on the light or open the bedroom door until he told me to. 'I did as he said, without questioning. 'I was taken to a neighbour's overnight. The next morning, I went to a police station for my fingerprints and hair samples to be taken, and later I was placed in a foster home. 'A social worker told me Mum had broken both her legs and Dad was looking after her so I couldn't go back home. 'I was only five years old, and I accepted that. But I hated being in the foster home. I was away from my family, and I missed them so much.' It was several weeks before a social worker informed Emma that her father was dead and her mother was in hospital. I screamed; I didn't recognise my own mother, she was so badly hurt Emily Childerley She says: 'I locked myself in the bathroom and sobbed. I couldn't take it in.' Eventually Emma was then told her mother was out of hospital and coming to take her home. She says: 'I was over the moon at first but the woman who arrived had a shaved head, an eye patch and scarring all across her face. 'I screamed; I didn't recognise my own mother, she was so badly hurt. It wasn't until she spoke that I realised who she was.' The family moved house to try to escape the memories and rarely spoke of their trauma. Family secrets Emma says: 'Nobody even told me dad had been murdered. 'I didn't want to ask Mum any details because I didn't want to upset her - she didn't remember much and didn't want to talk about it. I refused to go to Dad's funeral because I was in denial. 'I found a newspaper photo of a woman on life support, and I remember saying how poorly she looked. I didn't realise then it was a picture of my own mother. 'I was too young to be able to read the article.' Who are the UK's worst serial killers? THE UK's most prolific serial killer was actually a doctor. Here's a rundown of the worst offenders in the UK. After his death Jonathan Balls was accused of poisoning at least 22 people between 1824 and 1845. Amelia Sach and Annie Walters became known as the Finchley Baby Farmers after killing at least 20 babies between 1900 and 1902. The pair became the first women to be hanged at Holloway Prison on February 3, 1903. William Burke and William Hare killed 16 people and sold their bodies. The family moved home again, hoping for a fresh start. But aged 11, Emma came across newspaper cuttings that explained her father had been brutally murdered in a savage attack, with the motive unknown. Two men had been arrested at the time but the case against them was discontinued. Haunted childhood Emma says: 'I was horrified, and frightened that the killer was still out there. 'I wouldn't even flush the loo at night in case I alerted the murderer. 'I'd slept through the attack on my parents, and I was worried I might sleep through my own murder too. I became very anxious and defensive. 'If someone stared at Mum's injuries, I'd get annoyed and confront them, even though I was only a child. I had so much pent-up anger and grief.' The pain from the murder carries on, through the generations Emily Childerley In 2022, Emma contacted the police and pleaded with them to review the case. While Nottinghamshire Police say the case was never closed Emma says he hadn't heard anything in years. Kevin's murder case is now active and Emma is appealing for information. Cops have also urged anyone with information to come forward. They confirmed in April a 62-year-old woman was arrested on suspicion of perverting the course of justice and bailed after interview. Dad's legacy Emma now runs KC funeral services in Darwen, Lancashire, named in memory of her father. She says: 'I always regretted not going to dad's funeral and I decided I wanted to give dignity to people in death. 'I named my firm after him because this is his legacy. He lives on through me, and my three children, who I know he'd be so proud of. 'It breaks my heart that they never met him. He'd have been a wonderful grandfather. "The pain from the murder carries on, through the generations. I'd like people to think about that and, if they have information, please speak to the police. 'There will be no punishment for having waited so long, we will just be so grateful for any help you can give.' Detective Chief Inspector Ruby Burrow, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: 'This was a savage attack which took the life of a much-loved father and left his wife with lifelong injuries. 'Throughout our investigations we have been determined to get justice for both victims in this case, as well as for their two children and the grandchildren who never got to meet their grandad. 'Kevin was a much-loved family man described as a 'joker' with a great sense of humour by those who knew him. 'The attack tore apart the family and robbed Kevin's children of a lifetime of memories. 'The case has never been closed, and a dedicated team of detectives has been reinvestigating what happened that night using the latest investigative tools and technology. 'Following recent developments we have visited the neighbourhood to engage with a number of people we believe could help with our inquiries. 'It was a very positive exercise and I'd like to thank people for their cooperation. 'The arrest is also an important development and we have shared the news with Denise and other family members. 'We know the answer to Kevin's murder lies within the community and we also believe allegiances and loyalties will have changed after the passing of more than three decades. 'I'd continue to encourage anyone with any information, no matter how small, to please continue to get in touch with our officers or anonymously through Crimestoppers.'

Eamonn Norris directed four episodes and has been asked to return to work on more scenes on the BAFTA-nominated drama, set around a tight-knit Yorkshire community. The Navan man is no stranger to continuing drama, having directed Irish shows Ros na Rún and Fair City over the last ten years. Eamonn shot Emmerdale scenes, which aired recently, featuring Robert Sugden's early release from prison and his run in with his half brother John which ended up with the pair in a massive fist fight in the famous village. "I feel incredibly lucky. I interviewed with head of production Nader Mabadi and then shadowed one of their most experienced director's, Ian Bevitt. I was then invited to direct four episodes," he said. "I have to admit, I did feel pressure as I wanted to do a brilliant job but I felt that the producers and everyone really believed in me. "I was there for almost two months and I had fantastic scripts to work with. Everyone was amazing. I loved working with the actors. It really is one of the most positive places I've ever worked. Eamonn Norris (Center) with Hollywood assistant director Andrea O'Connor and sound mixer TJ O'Mara - Eamonn directed scenes of TV show Emmerdale last month. "I'm really happy to be invited back and incredibly grateful to everyone. I can't wait to see the Yorkshire dales again.'

'I worked with them both when I was a production assistant on the hit CBS TV show Blue Bloods in New York ten years ago. Andrea has mentored me through my career and I couldn't believe it when I got a phone call from TJ offering to come over and work on the film. "He was about to start work on The Devil Wears Prada 2 and had a few days off.' 'Between them they have worked on some of the best TV shows and films of the last 40 years including Sex and the City, The Sopranos, JFK, Born on the Fourth of July, Cape Fear and many more.
