LOVE Island's evicted bombshell Emma Munro has opened up on the real reason she discussed the show's whopper cash prize with Harry Cooksley.
Love Island 2025 OG Harry was 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.
Yet their connection then appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA, as fans claimed 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."
SPEAK OUT
As well as his flirting with ex Shakira Khan and new bombshell Angel Swift, footballer Harry was previously seen telling his ex Emma that he still loves her, prior to her being dumped from the island.
At the time, Emma tried telling Helena what Harry had told her but the besotted star refused to believe her.
However, after seeing the clip for herself at the show's Grafties, Helena had said on Friday's episode that she wished she could apologise to her former love rival.
She also raged: "I didn't expect you to be sitting with your ex-girlfriend and saying you'll get back into bed with one another on the outside.
