Love Island star Emma MOCKED Harry just days before going on show to win him back – AND had a boyfriend
Casa bombshell Emma, who arrived on Day 27 in a shock twist, is now plotting to rekindle her romance with Harry — despite slating him in brutal Instagram DMs only a month earlier and knowing he's coupled up with Helena.

The news has come as a big surprise to insiders, who have revealed she was dating someone else just six weeks ago.
And her ex 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.'
Spot the blink and you'll miss it moment that proves Love Islanders Emma and Harry are still in love - did you see it?
In Thursday night's episode, 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, clearly torn between Emma and Helena, confessed: 'I can't compare anyone to you,' before adding, 'Of course I love you, of course I always have love for you.'
He then asked her: 'Did you Love Island to get back with me?'
Emma, now looking sheepish, replied: 'I didn't plan for any of this,' and teased: 'See you back at home in bed.'
The pair then reminisced about the house they once shared — which still hasn't sold — and Emma subtly floated the idea of coupling back up to go all the way to the final and win the £50k.
Emma and Harry were together for three years, but split after she claimed he cheated and brought other girls back to their home — something she revealed in explosive scenes during her return.
The source add: 'They both still own the house together, which is something she openly spoke about and it all just seems rather convenient that they have both ended up on the show together and so close to the end.
"No one would be surprised if they were both in on it.'
And her ex believes Emma, who is unable to give her version of events while in the villa, has gone in there for one reason and one reason only - to get Harry back.

Shaughna Phillips reveals why Love Island's top couple won't last – and it makes sense
EXCLUSIVE: Shaughna Phillips, who shot to fame on the 2020 winter series of Love Island, has shared her thoughts on why the most popular couple in the villa won't last on the outside Former Love Island star Shaughna Phillips has insisted that she doesn't see things working out between one of the most popular couples on the ITV2 dating show despite their current chemistry in the villa. Shaughna, 31, has said that she feels incredibly skeptical about smitten couple Toni Laites and Cach Mercer and doesn't see their romance lasting once the show is over. The ex Love Island star, who appeared on the winter series back in 2020, told The Mirror: "I felt bad for Toni because I think she did genuinely like Cach originally, but Harrison just threw her head into a spin." It comes after pregnant Shaughna revealed her biggest regret over her romance on the show. 'She probably acted on it mainly because she had known Harrison for a longer period of time than Cach," she added about Toni. 'She probably went with what felt familiar, and she made an uninformed decision in choosing Harrison - not through her own fault. Cach is this season's Ovie. He is an absolute king, and she did mess up the first time for a boy," Shaughna said. Despite the fact that Toni and Cach now seem on top of the world now that they are finally rid of all the love triangles, Shaughna has pointed out one major barrier for the couple in the future. 'They seem like they're going well in the villa, but sadly, I think there could be lingering animosity between the pair. I just have this feeling that although Cach hardly ever shows it, there's probably going to be a bit of tension when they get out into the real world," Shaughna said. 'Logistically as well it doesn't work – she lives in America. It's bad enough for couples who live far apart in the UK when coming out of the Love Island villa, but this is another level," she added to Card Player. Elsewhere, Shaughna has defended Cooksley for going back to Shakira Khan despite making things exclusive with Helena Ford just two days prior. Despite criticism online, Shaughna believes Harry's decision to pick Shakira was from the heart - not a tactical move. 'Harry is emotionally a donut, but he isn't a gameplayer,' she said. 'If he were being strategic, he would've stayed with Helena. 'If Harry had any chance of winning, it would've been with Helena, so he's messed that up. For him to now pick Shakira shows his genuine feelings, I believe. But wow… he left it late." 'I would love to say that Shakira should move on and not give Harry another chance, but I am a bit of a wet wipe, and so when I was her age, if I had even the smallest feelings for someone back then, as Shakira has for Harry, even if everyone was telling me they were bad news… if they turned to me and said, 'Let's try,' I'd be like, 'Okay, let's try again.' "So, I feel for Shakira. I think she does genuinely like him, and she was kind of soft-launching it when she said, 'In a perfect world, they'd be together.' I don't think anyone should judge her for that." Love Island continues Sunday at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.

Actress is a dead ringer for Rita Ora after makeover can you guess who it is?
An actress looked a dead ringer for Rita Ora after a recent makeover as she posed for a photoshoot on Thursday. Modelling her own line of clothing on the streets of Manchester, she wore a cream blazer with a daring plunge neckline. She teamed the piece with matching shorts and added a pair of stiletto heels to complete her outfit. Mirroring Rita, she accessorised with some tinted, oversized, square sunglasses. Known for her role in a popular soap, this actress has also starred on a number of reality TV shows and competitions. Can you guess who it is? It's Chelsee Healy! The Hollyoaks actress, who plays Goldie McQueen on the Channel 4 soap, has also starred on Waterloo Road. Earlier this year, she competed on Dancing On Ice but became the first celebrity to be eliminated from the programme after being voted off in a skate-off against Comedian Josh Jones. Just four days before she was eliminated from the show, Eddie Rainford, the father of her daughter pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug between November 2022 and September 2023. In June, Chelsee watched on at Manchester Crown Court as he was warned he's facing jail for his role in a 'wholesale' drug-dealing operation. She had attempted to keep his full identity hidden on social media, only referring to her now ex-partner - who is dad of her 15-month-old daughter Cookie - as Eddie. The actress even hinted at a troubling time away from the cameras during her exit from Dancing On Ice, remarking: 'There has been a lot going on with me that I have been struggling with.' A source told The Sun: 'What Chelsee was desperately coping with while on the show was that her partner, the father of her youngest daughter, was in court for drug-dealing and has been sent to prison on remand.' While a separate insider informed the publication that the soap star was no longer in a relationship with Eddie. In March last year, Chelsee dropped a huge hint that they had secretly got married. The Hollyoaks star made reference to having a 'husband' as she shared a snap of a meal that had been cooked for her. She shared the picture of the plate of food and wrote: 'Sticky chilli steak coconut rice home made by the husband.' The actress - who plays Goldie McQueen on the Channel 4 soap - made no further elaboration of her comment. Chelsee's ex-partner was pictured for the first time after her co-star shared a snap - after she had previously kept the identity of her man under wraps. However, her Hollyoaks co-star Richard Blackwood gave the game away as he shared a series of snaps from Chelsee's baby shower - with one of them including Chelsea cuddling up to Eddie. Weeks before she'd given birth, Chelsee shared a picture of herself with Eddie, but she was posed in front of him, shielding his identity. Chelsee has since happily shown Eddie's face on her social media, with a snap on her Instagram showing herself and Eddie in matching cream outfits while holding their baby daughter Cookie - whom they welcomed in December 2023. Speaking about her decision not to publicly disclose the baby's father in summer she told Closer Magazine: 'This is the most supportive relationship I've ever been in. 'My friends and family love him, and he's the first bloke I've introduced Coco to, which says a lot. 'I knew he was The One within three to four months. I've kissed a few frogs, but he's definitely marriage material.' She added: 'In some past relationships I've never felt safe, they felt toxic and a little bit abusive, but with him it's completely different. I just want someone who brings me peace and is drama-free and this feels right. He's six years younger but has a mature head on his shoulders.' Chelsee also has an older daughter Coco, seven, from her relationship with ex Jack Malloy.

Airbnb host cancelled guests ‘because they were Welsh'
Two friends have accused an Airbnb host of 'xenophobia' after they were rejected for a room booking because they were Welsh. Jemma Louise Gough, 38, and Jamie Lee Watkins, 37, had been trying to book an £83 double room for one night at the property in Manchester. They were travelling to the city from Cwmbran, South Wales, to see the Australian music producer Sonny Fodera at the city's Co-op Live Arena. In the reason for their visit, they wrote they were coming 'from Wales to see the gig'. Just over an hour after their booking request, they were emailed to say it had been rejected. When they asked why the booking had been cancelled, the host responded with the message: 'Because you're from WALES'. Ms Gough, who works as a school support officer, said: 'My mouth hit the floor – nothing else other than 'because you're from Wales'. It was nothing about us going to the concert or whatever. It was just discrimination of the country. 'We're amazing people, the Welsh are lush. I don't know what me and my friend, or the whole of Wales, did that's so horrible. It's xenophobia. It's absolutely horrendous.' Ms Watkins, a nurse, who attempted to make the booking through her account, said she would have understood if the host was concerned about 'people going to concerts and coming back if they'd had a drink or something. That's an explanation'. She added: 'It was really blunt, just one line: because you are from, in capitals, Wales. What difference does that make?' 'It's discrimination' Ms Watkins asked the host for further explanation for the rejection, saying that it was 'discrimination under the Equality Act 2010'. She said her message was read, but received no response, adding: 'I was just a bit shocked really that people still say things like that.' Ms Gough posted on Instagram and Facebook to complain about the experience. The video gained thousands of views and comments from social media users who shared it. Katie Jones, the 'superhost' who rejected Ms Gough and Ms Watkins, describes herself as 'friendly and easygoing' on the app. She has also spent eight years hosting and has an average 4.96-star rating. The en-suite double room, which has an average 4.97-star rating with 300 reviews, has since been suspended by Airbnb from its platform. An Airbnb spokesman said: 'Discrimination, including on the basis of nationality, has no place on Airbnb. As soon as this report was brought to our attention, we reached out to the guest to provide our support and suspended the host while we investigate this matter.'
