Axed Islander Emma reveals secret vapers in the Love Island villa and fans will be shocked
LOVE Island star Emma Munro has revealed exactly which Islanders enjoy a cheeky vape in the villa and it may surprise you. ITV2 viewers are always left wondering each year which Islanders are smokers after the show stopped airing contestants smoking on screen. 3 Axed Islander Emma revealed who the secret vapers are in the villa Credit: YouTube / Spill With Will 3 She said 'almost everyone' enjoyed a vape Credit: Eroteme Casa Amor's Emma, who made it back into the main villa alongside Conor, identified which of her co-stars would most frequently visit the smoking area outside the villa. Appearing on Spill with Will podcast, Emma said: "Almost all of them [vape], Helena and Harry were the worst for it, they were always in there." Emma said: "I've tried before, I feel high whenever I try it, my heads spinning." During the earlier seasons of Love Island, viewers watched the Islanders smoke on their screens. But now they have to do it off camera to discourage social smoking. During the same chat, Emma also revealed what her ex and former co-star Harry Cooksley messaged her before heading into the villa. Harry, 30, was initially left stunned when his ex Emma entered the Mallorca villa, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex." Now Emma has let slip their last conversation before he entered the ITV2 series as a show OG. She denied knowing he was going on the matchmaking series and said: "No, he [Harry] sent me the weirdest text right before he went into holding. "And he basically said 'oh you won't be able to contact me for the summer, please get hold of my mum if you need anything.' Axed Love Islander Emma addresses villa feud as she reveals Islander she was 'scared' to speak to and secret rows that were never aired "I thought oh he's going to rehab. "Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?" Emma, who was recently given the boot from the show, told how she first became aware of his telly gig when she saw his Instagram post. She added: "I wasn't shocked you know. "I feel like this is a bit of him, he'd be the perfect candidate. "And he has been, he's carried the show on his back lets be honest." PLOT REVEAL During their time in the villa together, the pair's connection appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some banter about PDA, with him even smelling her armpit. Fans were then quick to claim the brunette's "real mask had slipped." This was exacerbated when she was heard discussing the show's £50K cash prize pot on the ITV2 series. In spin off show Aftersun, host Maya Jama directly asked the TV show star why. She said: "You're one of the few Islanders who have actually mentioned the 50k." Emma replied: "We have broken the fourth wall," to which Maya said: "You did, can you clarify what you meant by that? "I think you said something after like 'ahh play along' something like that?" Emma giggled before she said: "Look I'm glad you brought that up because the whole thing was a complete joke. "Harry and I had nothing else to talk about and we are both really playful but I can confirm there was no game plan and we were just being silly. "None of it was serious."

Rebecca took to her Instagram stories to post pics of her stay at a luxury lodge taking snaps of a bouquet of flowers, hot tub and a bed with flower petals. She went on to upload two stories of her and her new beau's arms side by side with matching tattoos on their ring fingers. The brunette beauty captioned the post: 'Dream.' The influencer also shared a surprise gift she was brought which included a pair of stunning high heels, to which she penned: " The most perfect surprise (heart emoji)." Rebecca has carved out her own path as a social media star. She's especially popular on Instagram, where she shares lifestyle, fashion, family, and travel content and has over 600,000 followers. Plus, her YouTube channel, Life With MR, gives fans an inside look at her goings-on through vlogs about family adventures, daily moments, and behind-the-scenes snippets. From infidelity rumours to Marcel's return to the Love Island villa this year, Rebecca has faced her fair share of ups and downs in the public eye. The former Blazin Squad member, 39, walked out on wife Rebecca when she was allegedly caught 'cheating' on him with a famous US rapper. Awkward moment Olivia Hawkins looks furious at show co-star in painfully tense All Stars final - and it's NOT Grace or Harriett The couple share a son, Roman, who they welcomed back in 2021 and a little over a year later they tied the knot. Things were going well for the couple until January 2024 when Rebecca was caught being 'unfaithful' to the reality TV star with rapper Slim Jxmmi. The mother of Slim's child, KD, had claimed that Rebecca had sent "intimate messages" to her child's father. KD, took to her social media platforms to share what she had uncovered – even tagging Rebecca and Marcel in the posts for them to see. A source at the time, told The Mirror: "Marcel is absolutely devastated. "Rebecca was his life and he'd changed so many things about his lifestyle to make her happy. "Everything he did, everything he worked for was for his wife and his son. "The poor guy feels like he's in a nightmare and he keeps hoping he'll wake up.' In March 2024, Rebecca made headlines when she publicly apologised for what she called a 'huge mistake' and admitted to 'foolish' actions after the cheating allegations surfaced. The exact timing of their split remains a mystery, but fans were surprised to hear that Marcel was heading back into the villa, since he was still legally married to Rebecca. It turned out that the pair were in the process of divorcing. 8 Marcel walked out on wife Rebecca when she was allegedly caught 'cheating' on him Credit: Rex 8 The couple share a son, Roman, who they welcomed back in 2021 Credit: Instagram
