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."

I absolutely adore it. "I think it resonates with so many people on so many levels because I feel at some point everyone in their lives are grinding city life, but everyone's just destined for the sun. The brand specialises in men's swimwear as well as women's bikinis, swimwear, and sunglasses before branching out in wider resort wear.

After finishing up her academic studies, the new graduate was looking for a 'change' and ended up in New York after her dad bought her a one-way ticket to the US.

After spending two years there, the Irishwoman held a number of other roles before launching East x East in 2021 alongside her Amazon brand Duper. She also described herself as having a 'hard-work mindset' and a determination to succeed. 'Carlow is a small town, I was the small town girl who needed to get out to achieve her big dreams,' she added. 'I always knew I wanted to be successful, that I was money-driven, business-driven – and that fashion is a tough industry and it would be a slow road.' According to her LinkedIn, Ms Nolan O'Slatarra was appointed as director of operations with K4 Capital Management in 2024. East Hampton Town Police confirmed in a statement that preliminary investigation and exam of the deceased Irishwoman were inconclusive regarding the cause of her death. A post-mortem examination is set to be conducted by the Suffolk County Medical Examiner's Office.
