Adamant she didn't want to reunite with Harry, Emma first explored a connection with Conor Phillips.
However, she would later recouple with fellow Casa bombshell Boris Vidovic.
Emma, Boris and Irish star Billykiss were ultimately all axed in a triple dumping.
Following her departure, Emma addressed her time on the ITV2 dating show.
Speaking to Maya Jama on Aftersun, Emma said: "I'm disappointed the viewers didn't get to see our story play out and I'm disappointed we didn't get more airtime".
Meanwhile, she also revealed what the future holds for her and villa partner Boris.
Emma said: "It's hard to date someone when they live in a different country. But I love Boris."
Viewers saw Harry's stunned reaction to Emma's Love Island entrance - as he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex."
It comes as Emma previously denied having gone on Love Island to win Harry back.
Addressing fan speculation after leaving the villa, she said: "It's very easy when you've been with someone a long time, to fall back into that spot where you're comfortable.
"When we were flirty it felt like everything was good and perfect, but then I very quickly snapped out of it when I saw his behaviour."
Love Island star Emma reveals real reason she and Harry discussed winning the £50k after 'game plan' rumours
She added: "I had to keep reminding myself that those were the same behaviours why I left in the first place and why I don't want to go back there."
Emma also addressed fan theories of her and Harry having a "secret game plan" to win the show's £50,000 prize.
She said: "I think they've just been proved wrong because he's still in there and I've now left the Villa so that definitely wasn't the game plan.
"We hadn't spoken, I can confirm that is just a rumour."

Shaughna Phillips reveals unborn baby's gender in first video with jailbird boyfriend
Love Island star, Shaughna Phillips, is expecting her second baby with boyfriend, Billy Webb, who was jailed in 2023 for Class A drug offences Love Island's Shaughna Phillips has revealed the gender of her unborn baby in a new video with boyfriend, Billy Webb. Shaughna, 31, who shares daughter, Lucia, two, with Webb, revealed the couple were expecting again in June after her boyfriend was allowed a brief home visit while serving a nine-year sentence for Class A drug offences. The Love Island star never reveals her partner's identity on Instagram and made sure to block out his face as she shared her latest video, filmed in her back garden. Snuggled together with little Lucia alongside them, the couple revealed they were having another girl as their daughter excitedly opened a box to reveal a pink cuddly bunny and a fluffy pink pram suit. Responding to the adorable clip, Shaughna's famous pals sent their well wishes. Former TOWIE star, Billie Shepherd replied: "Congratulations darling" as Gogglebox's Ellie Warner also congratulated the reality star. Speaking to the Mirror about trying for her second child, Shaughna admitted she planned the pregnancy, even tracking her ovulation to boost her chances of conceiving. However, she says she was stunned that her baby dream came true so quickly. 'It was the first time that my ovulation window coincided with Billy being home,' the mum-of-one told us. 'I was like, 'You know what? Why not? Let's just see'. And literally, the next day, I said to Billy, 'I think I'm pregnant.'' Shaughna's gut feeling was confirmed ten days later, when multiple pregnancy tests showed up positive. 'I found out very, very early on,' she exclusively told us. 'I was doing maybe five tests a day. I'm not even exaggerating.' Shaughna said Billy, who was jailed in 2023, is currently allowed out on home visits for 'a few days' each month. And while she has so far been forced to raise her daughter as a single parent, the star says her partner is due for early release and should be reunited with his family in time for their new arrival. 'I know the date that he's due to be home, but I'm not saying it just because anything could happen,' she says carefully. 'But hopefully he will be fully home before my baby is due.' After missing out on being a hands-on dad first time around, Shaughna is looking forward to having Billy there when the new baby arrives. 'He definitely wanted another one. He didn't get that newborn experience [with Lucia] and I think that's what he wanted,' she shared, joking that she wants Billy to 'experience the newborn stage and everything it has to offer, because he does not know what is coming his way.'

Games Workshop to open new stores in US, Europe and Asia this year after Space Marine 2 success
Games Workshop is plotting dozens of new store launches around the world after the Warhammer creator's profits were supercharged by the launch of 'Space Marine 2'. The group cheered a record 2025 on Tuesday with pre-tax profits soaring by nearly 30 per cent to £262.8million, beating guidance of £255million, as sales jumped 19.6 per cent on a constant currency basis to £628.7million. It came as licencing revenues jumped from £31million to £52.5million after Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2, a third-person shooter video game launched last year, performed 'well above' the group's expectations with seven million copies sold. Games Workshop is best known in the UK for its tabletop miniatures and high street stores across the country. But it has increasingly moved into video games and books, and a film and TV deal with Amazon that was finalised last December and is expected to be fronted by Superman actor Henry Cavill. Games Workshop cautioned that the next 12 months would suffer tough comparisons owing to the success of Space Marine 2, while the group thinks tariffs could impact profit before tax by around £12million. It said tariffs would be 'dealt with in our normal pragmatic way'. Nevertheless, Games Workshop outlined plans to boost manufacturing capacity and said it aims to open around 35 new stores globally over the next year. These are set to be focused on North American, continental Europe and Asia. The Nottingham-based firm's chief executive Kevin Rountree, CEO of Games Workshop said: 'After a record year, we remain focused on delivering our operational plans and working tirelessly to overcome any significant obstacles that get in the way. 'We will continue to give ourselves the freedom to make some mistakes, constantly working on improvements in product quality and manufacturing innovation. 'Despite our recent successes we will never take our hobbyists' support for granted.' Games Workshop declared and paid dividends worth 520p per share last year, up from 420p in the previous 12 months. Games Workshop shares were up 5.6 per cent to 16,110p approaching midday, having more than doubled over the last three years.
