Who is Emily Moran?
Love Island 2025 is set to introduce a captivating new bombshell into the proceedings.
Emily Moran is a Welsh brunette who is poised to shake up the dynamics in the villa and turn a few heads.
Currently residing in Sydney, Australia, she has already made her way over to Mallorca, ready for romance and hoping find a lasting connection.
Sources close to the show revealed where Emily is originally from — and it's the same town as Love Island 2024 alumni Nicole Samuel.
They told exclusively The Sun: "Emily's originally from Aberdare, the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year's show.
"Her ex-boyfriend is tall, dark and handsome, so she'll have plenty of options when she does make it into the villa.
'Unlucky in love'
"She's been unlucky in love since moving down under and is hoping to find Mr Right with a little help from Maya Jama and the British public."
As glamorous as she is well-travelled, Emily's social media presence paints a picture of an adventurous young woman.
She enjoys beach days, often sharing photos of herself soaking up the sun in an array of stylish bikinis.
In 2024 alone, she explored a number of popular destinations, including Ibiza, Mykonos, Mallorca and the Amalfi Coast.

Emily's romantic history adds another layer of intrigue to her Love Island persona.
With a penchant for tall, dark and handsome men, she is expected to have a wide range of options when she lands in the famous villa.
As of June 10, 2025, Emily already boasts over 7,000 followers on Instagram, but that's sure to skyrocket during her time on Love Island.
Her most recent social media posts on the platform from the end of May 2025 indicate she's living the dream.

'Happy girl'
She told her followers she was a "happy girl" in one post, while another saw her say: "I love my little life".
The arrival of Emily follows reports of the first dramatic dumping of the season, where one of the original villa girls was unexpectedly sent home.
This twist, promised by the show's bosses as part of the Love Island's 10th anniversary celebrations, has set the stage for further surprises throughout the series.
A source said: 'This girl will be sorely missed as was already proving to be a big character. She was absolutely gutted to leave.
'But the series has twists and turns at every stage and this isn't the usual dumping viewers might expect after a bombshell arrives.
'Executive producer Mike Spencer-Hayter has promised drama for the tenth anniversary and this format point will not disappoint.'
The first bombshell of the series, American Antonia Laites, made her mark almost instantaneously when she coupled up with Ben Holbrough — leaving Shakira Khan single and vulnerable.

World's sexiest volleyball star Kayla Simmons goes topless on beach as fans say ‘never been jealous of ocean until now'
KAYLA SIMMONS went topless and swam near sharks in her most Jaws-dropping photoshoot ever. The former university volleyball star modestly claimed she was just "playing mermaids". 19 Kayla Simmons lapped up both the sun and Instagram likes as fans foamed over 'one of her hottest' photoshoots Credit: 19 The fearless star went for a plucky dip Credit: 19 Fans believe Kayla was some-fin special Credit: 19 Admirers were awed by her boldness Credit: But her 1million Instagram followers believe it was more about thrills than gills as she dazzled on the beach and underwater. One admirer reflected: "Never been jealous of the ocean until now." Another fan claimed the social media sensation had "a smile to launch a thousand ships". Kayla's nautical but nice snaps included her lying on the sand in a bikini that was minus its upper half. She was also seen in a short video wading into the sea, still without a top. And once she plunged under, marine lovers might reckon some of the exotic sealife she was snapped with - including huge fish - was almost as impressive as Kayla's free-spirited dip. But woe betide anyone whispering that to her army of enthusiasts. One fan raved: "One of your hottest sets... so stunning Kayla!" Another wrote: "Everything about this is incredible." A third simply stated: "Most beautiful woman in the world." Kayla Simmons films herself in sauna wearing just a tiny bikini as 'world's sexiest volleyball player' sends fans wild And a fourth posted: "I love your natural beauty." A few observers did worry about what looked like sharks just metres away - with Kayla even seen swimming towards one such beast. And when she was asked where the snaps were taken, she replied: "First photo is Hawaii." That Pacific island state is home to around 40 types of shark - but nearly all those varieties are safe to humans, with bite attacks very rare. So Kayla probably felt safe beneath the surface being... "snapped". The part-time mermaid also proved she's a full-time marvel on Instagram - as she rapidly clocked up thousands of likes for her assortment of aquatic pics.

Love Island fans in disbelief over Harry's age - and his age gap with Shakira
Some Love Island viewers had no idea how old Harry Cooksley was and the truth surprised them, while his age gap with Shakira was also unexpected according to fans One Love Island star's age certainly got people talking given his antics on the show. Many fans said Islander Harry Cooksley "couldn't be" the age given, as he sparked "immature" drama with co-stars Shakira and Helena. From flirting behind backs, to being called a "player" and lying, Harry was called out by viewers and his co-stars. So when fans realised he was 30 years old, some fans didn't believe it. They suggested he seemed so much younger, as others also warned Shakira away given his "immature" antics, after realising their age gap. Shakira is 22, making her eight years younger than Harry. But it was Harry's actions, especially the lying after being caught out, that sparked the biggest reaction. Some fans simply didn't know his age though and on finding out, they shared their shock on social media. One fan said: "Harry's 30?????????" Another posted: "Harry is 30?! We are doomed," as a thirf wrote: "He can't be 30 my goodness." On his behaviour, one fan commented: "Harry is 30, I repeat 30, imagine moving like that at your big age, these guys aren't real LOOOL." A further post read: "Not Harry being 30 and acting like this," as another agreed: "Harry you're 30 pls act like it what is this." One fan said: "I forget Harry is 30 sometimes." As for the age gap, a viewer chimed in: "Big 30 year old man lying to a 22 year old. Crazy. "I've just deeped the age gap with Shakira and Harry," said another," while a final post read: "Harry needs to stay away from Shakira he's 30 and she's 22." It comes as viewers confessed they think they already know which former Love Island star is set to enter the famous second villa, Casa Amor. Sophie Lee was axed from the show on Tuesday night in a brutal dumping, after her partner Harry was stolen by Shakira. But some viewers are now convinced her time on the show isn't over. With a recent series seeing a dumped girl return to the villa for Casa Amor, viewers are now speculating Sophie will be back on the show in a matter of weeks, as a bombshell in the second villa. Taking to X, fans guessed the twist would happen with one fan writing: "I reckon Sophie will re-enter the villa as a bombshell by the end of next week at the latest or she will re-enter in Casa Amor." Another said: "Dw Sophie you'll be back in 4 weeks for Casa Amor." A third viewer begged: "Nah bring Sophie back for Casa Amor she deserves a chance." A fourth fan agreed: "Bring her back for casa amor!!" as a fifth viewer posted: "Gutted for her and bring back Sophie as a bombshell or Casa Amor." The comments kept on coming with one reading: "They better bring Sophie back as a Casa bombshell. Justice for Sophie." Another said: "BRING SOPHIE BACK FOR CASA AMOR!" It comes after Sophie was axed from the show in the latest episode. Despite not initially being at risk of an early exit, the motivational speaker and author was abruptly booted out of the villa after her man Harry was chosen by newly single Shakira.
