LOVE Island bombshell Emma Munro has revealed just what her ex and former co-star Harry Cooksley messaged her before heading into the villa.

The ITV2 star, 30, spoke candidly during a chat aired on Spill With Will's TikTok page - just days after she broke her silence about the pair plotting to win the show's £50K cash prize.

Love Island 2025 OG Harry, 30, was initially left stunned when his real-world ex Emma entered the Mallorca compound, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex."

Fans then previously insisted the late arrival should win the series after dishing out home truths to Harry before revealing the real reason for their split.

Now Emma, who underwent an image revamp prior to her time in the dating programme, 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.'

"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.

Spot the blink and you'll miss it moment that proves Love Islanders Emma and Harry are still in love - did you see it?

"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 new banter about PDA.

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."
