Love Island spoilers: Harry and Emma teeter on rekindling romance and Toni skewers Harrison for 'embarrassing her over and over' after ANOTHER Lauren twist

Daily Mail​17-07-2025
Love Island's Harry and Emma tease rekindling their romance as Toni skewers Harrison for 'embarrassing her over and over' on Thursday night's episode of the ITV2 show.
The last few days have certainly been full of drama, after the sister villa twist Casa Amor AND a surprise recoupling.
The upcoming instalment of Love Island will see Harry - who is currently coupled up with Helena - hint that he is still into his ex Emma.
Emma entered the show as a Casa Amor bombshell, but set her eyes on Connor, and ended up coming back with him to the main villa.
However the pair have cut ties and it seems like Harry could be interested in sweeping her off her feet.
Chatting with his ex, he says: 'Would you have gone to the Hideaway with me last night?'
'You're getting bored and you're looking to stir the pot,' she replies.
Later on during the conversation she appears to hint that they should get back together.
'I think people would love to see...' she tells Harry, hinting at the two of them.
Emma then brutally goes in on his partnership with Helena.
She tells him: 'I don't think people see you and her as the real deal… no one really sees you as end game or that you're going to work on the outside…
'Everyone thinks you've taken the path of least resistance because perhaps you don't feel like you can step up to the ones you really want.'
Harry says back: 'I can't compare anyone to you, of course I love you, I'm going to always have love for you. We've known each other for a very long time.'
He adds: 'Did we really come on Love Island to get back together?'
Elsewhere in the episode, Toni confronts Harrison about his behaviour.
Harrison and Toni have had an on/off relationship since he entered as a bombshell.
But the footballer has showed interest in various other girls, leaving Toni heartbroken and fed up with his actions.
He left her lost for words when he ended up bringing Lauren back after Casa Amor and in recent days has hinted that he wants to still be with her - behind Lauren's back.
To make matters worse, Harrison took his relationship to the next level with Lauren, leaving her very upset about him wanting to still get to know his former flame.
Thursday's episode of the show sees Toni confront Harrison AGAIN after she finds out he has been flirting with Lauren.
She tells him: 'You're embarrassing me over and over again.'
Harrison tells her: 'My feelings for Lauren just aren't going to disappear.'
And Toni asks him: 'Do you really want to be with me?!'
Last night Toni's former man Cach broke down in tears after Toni picked Harrison over him.
The shock turn of events left Cach in tears as he took a moment on the terrace to cry on Ty's shoulder - which left fans in tears.
'I can't believe I'm crying. I haven't cried in years,' Cach told Ty.
Ty told him: 'This is real though, it's you. It's better to let stuff like this out than bottle it up. It doesn't make you any less of a man, in fact more of a man.'
Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs'.
Some comments read: 'Cach is breaking my heart',
'CASH I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART!!! YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!',
'Protect Cache at all costs my heart is breaking for him',
'This is so hard to watch! Cach crying really breaks my heart',
'Okay now seeing Cach cry? My heart is breaking for this poor boy. He has a heart of gold.'

He tells her: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and I] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are. "I'm sorry I never like tried again. I really thought the door was just, like, slammed.' Shakira responds: 'Do you want some home truths… it's obviously the way you go about it and the steps you take in between to come to these conclusions obviously hurt people along the way. "It's all well and good you saying 'hold my hands up guys, sorry' but you still hurt people. And it's a pattern.' Harry then makes his intentions clear, saying: 'Look, I'm either leaving here alone or with you.' Elsewhere, Helena remains confused by Harry's sudden shift and pulls Shakira for a chat. Shakira explains: 'Nothing's changed. There's been no miracle… I was saying I've not let myself heal over the situation and then he was like, 'Same'. I was like, 'What?'

Whether or not they reignite their romantic spark, fans have begged that Shakira bags a spot in the final 'no matter what.' On social media, one person wrote: 'I just want to see Shakira in the final she can break up with harry outside at this point, idc. My girl deserves the final.' A second penned: "Like this post if you will still vote Shakira to make the final or win even if she is coupled up with harry.' And a third said: 'HEAR ME OUT (I don't like harry) but this is the first time he's talking serious, even being serious and it could get our Shakira to the final, so…' Another person echoed: 'Whatever you choose to do, Shakira I fully support you princess. Let's get you to the final.' On Sunday night's episode, viewers will watch as Harry and Shakira get chance to chat after the explosive Grafties. Sitting together inside, Harry and Shakira debrief about how they're feeling. Harry says: 'I have really tried with her [Helena], but we [Shakira and Harry] had like a week and it was, for me, the feelings were obviously way stronger and still are.

On Friday night, Helena was furious as she watched clips of Harry flirting with exes Emma Munro and Shakira Khan - while they were coupled up. She branded Harry a "f*****g joke" and added: "Shakira doesn't want you, I don't wanr you." Fellow OG Islander Conor told Harry later: "Remember what you have first, with Helena. "I think it's quite rare, to be honest, what you do have with her." Harry replied: "I'll be honest mate - and I know you're probably gonna tell her this. "I think it's more friendly, for me." He added: "I just feel like, with Shakira it was way more natural in my opinion. "It was more relationship-focused, more emotional. I feel like I was way more into her."

Jess Phillips recreates Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights dance

Jess Phillips, the Labour MP, has recreated Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights dance. The safeguarding minister joined a crowd of hundreds at The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever in Birmingham on Saturday.

Announcing his death on Sunday, BBC Sheffield said: 'We have some sad news to share. Former BBC Radio Sheffield presenter Gerry Kersey has passed away. 'Gerry was an enduring voice on BBC Radio Sheffield for many years, and Radio Hallam before that. He was such a gifted presenter and a wonderfully kind and supportive colleague off-air. 'He was also a talented artist. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.' BBC radio presenter Gerry Kersey hailed a broadcasting 'legend' has passed away aged 86 after an illness Before radio, Gerry worked at a steelworks site, of which he told the Sheffield Star in 2018: 'It was hot, sticky, dark and dangerous and the air was full of chemicals. 'But it was also a magnificent stage featuring molten steel, sparks and tough fit men manipulating massive forgings and machinery.' But broadcasting was the goal, and he made that his career: 'I decided, with my wife's full approval, that although it was only earning £12 a week I would take it on and see what I could do.' A number of tributes poured in from the star from former to colleagues to fans.

'Wherever you went around the area you would always meet someone who loved Gerry's show.' She continued: 'In later years he was known for request-based and nostalgia shows and he got loads of letters, emails and calls right up to his last show in 2020. 'Wherever you went around the area you would always meet someone who loved Gerry's show. 'Off-mic, Gerry was just as much of a gentleman as he was on it, always encouraging, always warm and proud to still be on the radio after 50 years. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.' His former co-star, football reporter Alan Biggs. said: 'Radio listeners in Sheffield will mourn the passing of Gerry Kersey. Gerry was a mainstay of both Radio Sheffield & Radio Hallam (where I was lucky to work with the nicest bloke). 'Super talented; actor & artist also. Thinking of Gerry's family & many friends.' He added: 'Not just in Sheffield. Would have said South Yorkshire & North Derbyshire if more characters allowed for the post. Some wonderful heartfelt replies that I am sure will be much appreciated by Gerry's family.' Sheffield Council executive director Kate Martin said: 'So sorry to read this news. Gerry was a true servant supporting our city and community. 'My sincere condolences go out to Gerry's family and friends at this difficult time.' Lib Dem Lord Shaffaq Mohammed: 'So sad to hear about the passing of Gerry, I recall both his time at Hallam FM & more recently @BBCSheffield particularly on a Sunday teatime show where our paths would cross.
