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. Viewers of the show could not believe what they were watching when 5 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 Credit: zarasworld17/TikTok 5 The former couple dated for three years Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 5 Fans have been left baffled by their interactions while on the show Credit: Eroteme She was seen getting close to Harry and even suggesting a romantic reunion, telling him: 'I think people would love to see…' — leaving fans shocked as she clearly hinted the public wanted them back together. 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
