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've been asked to do a speaking tour around the country from middle to late September till November, and it's new territory for me because I've never done anything like that before," she revealed. "I have done speeches and things, but it's a chance for me to talk about what does it take to go from being a little girl as I was at nine, picking up a racket for the first time. "What does it take, sort of the apprenticeship of going on that journey to then make it to Wimbledon, and then retiring at 21 and moving into broadcasting, interviewing all these wonderful great champions. "And how did that lead me to Strictly Come Dancing. So, it's kind of a tour to look back and reflect on my life."

"When I look back at speaking, it was actually something I was very fearful of when I was younger. I used to almost hyperventilate and have a complete panic attack about speaking publicly," she openly admitted. "It's funny for me now thinking, 'Well, I'm going to do a speaking tour'. And it's like, 'How on earth have I come such a big circle?' To be able to have the confidence."

Her brother Raúl Campo confirmed the heartbreaking news in a statement on social media. 'To our family and friends, we inform you and mourn the passing of my sister, Yanin Campos,' he wrote. 'The wake is at the Hernández Funeral Home for those who would like to say goodbye and join us.' Although she placed sixth in the 2018 season of MasterChef México, Campos was later invited back to compete on MasterChef: La Revancha in 2019.

Celebs SAS stars 'to get full fee despite quitting Channel 4 show early'
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit, and three of the contestants are said to have raked in thousands for just minutes on screen Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins stars will reportedly still get their full fee even if they quit the show early. The Channel 4 military-style reality series returned to screens last week with the likes of X Factor legend Lucy Spraggan, footballer Troy Deeney and former drugs mule Michaella McCollum amongst a host of others being put through their paces by the show's tough directors. However, viewers watched as pop star Hannah Spearritt quit the show just minutes into the first episode, and dancer Louie Spencer later realised he could not hack it either so decided to remove his armband and walk off. In episode two, Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Chloe Burrows quit on the spot as well. Insiders have claimed that some of the stars are being paid up to £20,000 as an appearance fee and insisted that they will still receive payment in full, no matter what stage of the competition they actually reach. A source told The Sun: "Hannah Spearitt, Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri will all have been paid over £10k - some as much as £20k - but unlike other reality shows, they do get paid if they pull out. So even though Hannah only lasted one minute, she'll still get paid over £10k for that minute." It comes after reports of all the celebrities rumoured to be joining BBC Strictly Come Dancing 2025. The source added that even though it can be 'embarrassing' for celebrities to quit so early, it is "well worth stars signing up even if they don't think they can complete the show just for the payday - it might be embarrassing taking their armband off early in the show, but it's good money!' Hannah who shot to fame as part of S Club 7 before going on to an acting career with roles in shows such as Primeval and EastEnders, was seen struggling. She was sitting on the way to a mission when she told her fellow recruits that she was 'feeling faint'. And just moments later, it was confirmed that the Reach singer had become the first to leave the course as her co-stars speculated that she had suffered a panic attack. However, in a confessional aired seconds beforehand, Hannah, who last year refused to join her bandmates for their reunion tour, had seemed confident in herself as she said: "I am pretty determined. I wouldn't say I give up easily but whether I get to the end or not...I don't think I'll go on the first day because I just wouldn't forgive myself." She went onto tell instructors: "Sorry - I'm done. Sorry. I've reached a point." And she wasn't the only star to fall at the first hurdle, as Pineapple Dance Studios star Louie also dramatically left the show as the tough scenes unfolded. He initially told the cameras as part of his own confessional segment: "If there was a world war and they decided they were gonna call everyone up, would I be the first to jump up and say 'Yes me?' Being surrounded my thousands of soldiers, I might just jump at it. I'd be the home guard like on Dad's Army. We'll have a gay Dad's Army. Honestly, they wouldn't wanna mess with the gays!" But, despite his confidence, just moments later, Chris Fox described the group's effort as "abysmal" after the latest task. He reminded the recruits to think about why they were there and suggested they take things "seriously". Louie piped up: "I wanna do an immediate withdrawal. I just don't have the conviction and I feel as though I'm not dedicated enough," he said as he removed his armband. Chris gave him the chance to put his arm band back on, but Louie refused, so Chris said: "Get your kit." In a previously-filmed confessional, Louie, 56, had said: "I'm a survivor, I would keep battling to survive. I think the worst way for me to leave the course would be to choose to leave. That would really p*** me off," but just seconds later, it was confirmed that he had indeed quit the show." And following their exits, Chloe took to Instagram to rant about why she had quit as she said: ""I was f*****g exhausted and wanted my own bed and a cuddle from my mum. Forgive a girl for being so naive, but jumping at opportunities I'd never thought possible," whilst Tasha is yet to address her exit.
