Love Island bombshell Emma shares 'plans to pull' ex Harry as Helena oblivious
Love Island bombshell Emma sat down with Andrada to discuss what it's really like living with her ex Harry while he's coupled up with Helena. The star insisted she wasn't there to get back with Harry, but her recent conversation about her and Harry being ' endgame ' had fans rushing to social media to complain.
After having a chat with Harry, she told Andrada: "It was just interesting, I can just tell he's not happy where he is. I just think it's so hard because we love each other, right? That's a really deep kind of love, but we're both like no, we know it doesn't work, we know it doesn't work."
She went on to claim: "I don't think there's any point in trying again… but I think it's hard for him when I'm here. He can compare. He's seeing how this one behaves and this one behaves, and then there's me and we were supposed to be endgame."
Emma believes 'something could be clicking' for Harry and he's slowly realising the women in the Spanish villa aren't "the perfect fit for him".
The contestant continued: "I think if I was to say to Harry 'let's give it another go' he would be definitely open to it." When Andrada asked whether she'd give their romance another shot, Emma said: "I don't think I can. I can't."
Andrada, unconvinced, said: "I feel like you do want to." Fans were skeptical of Emma and rushed to X/ Twitter to share their thoughts.
One user said: "I am now convinced Emma has went into the villa to get back with Harry," and another posted: "Emma has given me the ick. Giving it all that saying she didn't come in for Harry…"
"Harry's ex needs to go, it's enough now," one posted while one user commented: "Emma is literally only in the villa to try and get Harry back and it's so painfully obvious to the point it's boring."
Meanwhile, Harry and Emma had a private chat by the firepit. Emma told her ex: "I don't think anyone has any, like, gauge on how deep our relationship actually was. I don't even want to upset the girls like if either of them saw us talking like this it's not nice is it? We're so comfortable."
Harry, seemingly uninterested, responded with one word: "Dangerously." Things got weirder when Emma raised her arms and asked Harry: "Do you want a sniff? Yeah you do... I know you like to smell them."
He later admitted: "It took everything not to sniff your armpit there", before adding: "It took all of me."

'Harry and William must bury the hatchet - or there'll be incalculable damage'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, need to be "brought in from the cold" five years after they quit royal duties for a new life in California, an expert says Prince Harry and Prince William must end their feud now - or the UK will face "incalculable damage," a royal expert claims. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will "seethe and seek revenge" if William, heir to the throne, refuses to make peace with his brother, according to newspaper columnist Andrew Norman Wilson. He argues this would lead to great tensions when William, Prince of Wales, becomes king. "When Charles vacates the stage, as one day he must, and William is anointed, a middle-aged brother in exile, on non-speakers with the sovereign but with a potential audience of billions, could do incalculable damage," writes Mr Wilson. "It would be miles better [than Harry writing another book, for instance], then, that the Sussexes be brought in from the cold. Both sides should be seeking, not only diplomatic and political help, but personal counsel. "This was a pair of brothers who, from earliest childhood, were facing the broken marriage of their parents; their mother's untimely death; unfounded and scurrilous speculation about Harry's paternity; and generally a gnawing inferiority complex on Harry's part – some of it understandable. Who wouldn't feel inferior, after all, to the heir to throne?" READ MORE: King Charles accused of 'slap in the face' by Princess Diana's personal aide But Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, sensationally quit royal duties in 2020 for a new life in California. They've since carried out TV work - with a large deal with Netflix - and Harry has released his controvesial memoirs Spare. It's Spare, though, that fuelled the tensions between Harry and William. With TV work seemingly drying up in the US, critics have suggested Prince Harry may need to overcome - or ease - the tensions to return to The Firm instead. Hints, including Harry and Meghan's decision to include the titles HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) as well as the surname Sussex on passport applications for little Archie and Lillibet, have emerged recently. And Mr Wilson, a writer with several decades' experience, continued in today's Daily Mail: "All those who have William's best interests at heart – and this must include everyone who wants a bright future for the monarchy – must be begging him to extend some kind of olive branch to his wayward, disloyal and maddening younger sibling... If Harry and his father find a way to be reconciled, that would be a fine thing. But it is the next reign – that of William V – that is likely to be longer and of far more consequence. "It's no exaggeration to say that this row could one day begin the process that leads to a republic. And that could come much sooner than we royalists might like to admit." Mr Wilson's opinion column comes as it is understood Duke of Sussex wishes to avoid "ambushing" the royals in a bid to maintain regular communication with his cancer-battling father. The olive branch came as senior staff for the King's estranged son spoke with a palace official of a wish for a 'roadmap for more regular communication' with his family.

This new sunlit restaurant on an award-winning Hunter Valley estate needs to be on your wine country hit list
The punchy gilda, bursting with salt and vinegar, and the velvety burnt Basque cheesecake may take you back to scoffing them on the streets of San Sebastián's Old Town. The grand, curved archways, golden-honey tones and terracotta tiles sure do evoke a rustic Spanish-style villa. But those vineyard views – all gentle green hills and twisted vines – and award-winning tropical verdelho and party-ready sparkling chardonnay – are all the Hunter. This is Iron Gate Kitchen, a new Mediterranean-inspired restaurant now open within Pokolbin's celebrated and historic Iron Gate Estate. And you need to add it to your wine country hit list, now. Opened in May this year, the fire-fuelled restaurant brings together punchy Iberian flavours and fine vino in a sunlit, communal-style space that's the stuff of long lunch dreams. The 130-seat dining room features both indoor and alfresco seating – making it an ideal spot for your next weekend away with friends in the Hunter. Iron Gate Kitchen is helmed by head chef Lara Hagan (ex- Circa 1876), with talented general manager Harrison Plant (ex- EXP) leading the front of house. Hagan says: "In the winter, especially at Iron Gate Kitchen, it is all about bright sun-drenched courtyard lunches with seafood and semillon. Pair this then with a dinner elsewhere in the Valley that has a fireplace and serves big juicy reds, alongside with some really refined countryside produce. I swear you'll find some of the best cooked lamb of your life in the Hunter." Menu highlights include golden and crisp salt cod croquettes brightened with lemon juice; wood-fired flatbread topped with creamy stracciatella, 'nduja and fresh basil; slow-cooked caramelised lamb shoulder with a zippy salsa verde; and sizzling garlic prawns. Iron Gate Kitchen's wine list features Iron Gate Estate's award-winning drops by head winemaker Geoff Broadfield, who has been making wines in the region for more than 40 years – backed up by vino from friends across the Valley. Cocktails-wise, my pick is the Blood Orange Margarita, best enjoyed on the grass at sunset. The beautiful architecture and chic, sun-drenched interior design is by Emilie Delalande of Etic – the same gun behind Redfern's colourful Southeast Asian eatery, Island Radio. Also a bonus: Iron Gate Kitchen is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner – which is good news if you're feeling a little dusty in the AM and no one in your crew is keen to warm up the pans. And one more thing: Iron Gate Estate's Spanish-style villa, which sleeps up to 15 guests and boasts a lush swimming pool, stunning European design and plenty of entertaining areas, is available for hire. Hello, birthday parties, hen's dos and weekends away with your people. Take it from me – it'll be a weekend for the memory books. You can find out more and book here. Address: 178 Oakey Creek Rd, Pokolbin NSW 2320. Where to drink, eat and stay in the Hunter Valley.

Love Island viewers stunned as Harrison and Lauren get 'frisky under the covers' as he confirms steamy exchange amid love triangle with Toni
Love Island viewers were left in disbelief as Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood got frisky under the covers. The two islanders have had a rollercoaster journey since Harrison, 22, brought back the bombshell to the main villa after Casa Amour. And while Harrison appeared smitten in Casa Amour, he has attempted to reignite his triangle in the competition by flirting with Toni Laites, 24, in a scandalous move on the terrace. Despite being in tears over Harrison's sneaky antics in the villa, Lauren, 26, appeared to forgive and forget when they retired to bed as the cameras showed the two getting very close under the covers. In a nightime clip aired by the producers, the sheets could be seen moving over the top of the two islanders - suggesting they were taking their connection to the next level. The next day, Harrison seemed to have confirmed their antics as he confessed to Harry Cooksley that 'the whistle was blown' and he 'scored a three pointer' - a football reference which fans took to mean they got intimate throughout the night. And viewers were in disbelief over their antics as they flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to question the move and beg Lauren to 'stop embarrassing herself'. One penned: 'Lauren, pls dont embarrass yourself any further #LoveIsland' ' Lauren sleep with Harrison? If so then she's a mug too #LoveIsland' 'Wait, did Harrison and Lauren have sex? #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK' 'I can't tell if Lauren is just stupid or harrison is a master manipulator #loveisland' 'Lauren is actually so silly. #Loveisland'; 'Is Lauren stupid why would she sleep with Harrison #loveisland'; 'why would Lauren do that #LoveIsland' 'lauren you're ridiculous tbh, dash weh the front to an excited little kid that doesn't even want you. anyway, good for everyone. ��↔️ #loveisland' 'i'm really embarrassed for lauren #loveisland where is her self worth?' In a goodnight clip aired by the producers, the sheets could be seen moving over the top of the two islanders - suggesting they were taking their connection to the next level The next day, Harrison seemed to have confirmed their antics as he confessed to Harry Cooksley that 'the whistle was blown' and he 'scored a three pointer' - a football reference which fans took to mean they got intimate through the night The saucy moment came just hours after she was left in tears during Sunday night's show as they sneaked off to the terrace for a secret rendezvous. In true Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu style, Toni and Harrison recreated the Love Island alum's iconic terrace crawl to remain out of sight from the rest of the villa. Harrison and Toni look set to rekindle their connection despite him returning from Casa Amor coupled up with Lauren. During their chat on the terrace, Toni demanded 'get rid of her' after Harrison confessed he wanted to kiss her behind Lauren's back. It was all while Lauren remained unaware of their unfinished business as she sat metres away crying while confiding in her fellow islanders. While on the villa stairs after getting ready for the night, Harrison whispered to Toni: 'After you get a drink, do you want to meet me? Terrace?' Crouching down to avoid being seen, Harrison said: 'We have to sit on the floor. Otherwise they're going to see… I don't want them to see.' The conversation continued to get spicier as the two flirtatiously locked eyes, as Harrison said: 'Would it be bad if I kissed you right now?' Harrison and Toni's behaviour has sparked somewhat fury among fans. Fans took to X and wrote: 'Nah Toni needs to get voted off for that. Lost all the ratings I had for her', 'Oh god this girls has disappointed me', 'Damn Toni moving like a snake', 'Nooo wayyy', 'Toni joining Love Island legends Mimii & Ekin-Su as a terrace crawler wasn't on my bingo card'. In 2022, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu took drastic measures to bond investment analyst, Jay Younger as she crawled on to the terrace twice in a bid to have a private chat with him. In the raunchy scenes, Ekin-su asked Jay to sneak off for a 'secret' chat, which saw them talking in whispers away from the other Islanders.

After Jay agreed to the sneaky rendezvous, Ekin-Su was seen crouching on the floor as she opened the door to the terrace from the girls' dressing room. She then began crawling across the floor in a bid to stay hidden from the other Islanders, who were chatting in the garden below. As she sat concealed by the wall, she said: 'I can't believe I'm here.' Jay then excused himself from a chat with the other boys to 'go to the bathroom' before heading up to the terrace to meet her. As he walked up the stairs, Ekin-Su's current partner Davide asked where she was, before adding: 'I think he will try to kiss her.' But Paige Thorne disagreed and insisted that she thought there was 'no way' that Jay would make a move on Ekin-Su. When Jay opened the door to the terrace, Ekin-Su told him to 'whisper' and 'kneel down', adding: 'Don't let them see you!' To which Jay jokingly replied: 'What it is, Mission Impossible?' This was later exposed in the season which ignited a huge argument between the two.
