Speaking about what she's looking for in her next partner, Emily revealed: "I want someone who is just really genuine and kind.
"I know that sounds so naff, but it's hard to find these days. I'd also like a man who genuinely cares about my wellbeing and my feelings and wants to look after me.
"I want a male figure comforting me and wanting to do the little things, like getting me a morning coffee and noticing if my back needs suncream. I feel like that's where people have lacked before."

Tonight's episode of Love Island, airing on Friday, June 13, is set to be a groundbreaking one as the girls are given the opportunity to covertly observe the boys' antics for the first time.
Harry Cooksley gets a text that sparks excitement among the males: "Boys, clear your schedules and get ready to leave the Villa! #BroTime #BeersAndBants" Anticipating some quality time, the lads can hardly contain their joy. Nevertheless, there's an unexpected twist awaiting; while the boys venture off, the girls are in for quite the surprise.
Upon the boys' departure, the girls encounter a shocker in the garden: a large screen displaying a live feed of the boys' escapades is waiting for them. This will mark the first occasion on Love Island when the girls can watch their male counterparts in real-time without their knowledge.

As they realise they're able to surreptitiously witness the mens' conversation, Meg Moore can't hold back her reaction: "F*** off!" while Alima Gagigo expresses excitement at the prospect: "We'll get to see how they act!".
The girls' enthusiasm diminishes as they listen in on the boys discussing relationships and loyalty among friends and their reactions suggest they aren't entirely pleased.
However, there's more to come, as the scene is dramatically shaken up by the arrival of Emily, Malisha, and Yasmin, reports OK!.

Megan Forte Clarke couldn't believe her eyes and exclaimed: "There's three of them!" Equally astonished, Meg added, "You're joking!".
Harry was quick to question the newcomers with: "Are you coming back with us?" to which an enthusiastic Malisha responded: "Of course I am!".
Yasmin was intrigued about the dynamics back at the abode, prompting her to ask the lads: "Tell us what your situation is in the Villa at the moment?".
Oblivious to being under surveillance, the boys candidly shared insights into their current states of affairs and feelings, not refraining from revealing details in their responses.

Laura Anderson gives reason for leaving daughter behind on couples holiday
Love Island star Laura Anderson was 'hurt' about a backlash to her recent luxury holiday with boyfriend Clark, but the devoted single mum is unapologetic about taking time for herself Love Island star Laura Anderson snapped back at trolls last week who cruelly shamed her for going on her first child-free holiday with her sportsman boyfriend – and now a source claims the 36-year-old is feeling 'hurt' about the backlash she has received. Laura had kept fans up to date about her luxury Maldives holiday with her partner, Dundee player Clark Robertson, 31, sharing a series of stunning, loved-up snaps from their exotic getaway. But rather than be happy for her first holiday with the footballer, some fans decided to call out the single mum – who has previously posted her trips with her daughter, as well as sweet videos with her at home – for not bringing 21-month-old Bonnie along. Now, a source claims to OK! that the online backlash has been deeply unpleasan t for the mum-of-one – but she's doing her best not to let it get under her skin. 'Being heavily trolled has been upsetting for Laura, as it would be for anyone. In her eyes, it's bullying behaviour,' they claim. 'Much of it seems to come from women, and that hurts her – she's a strong, single mum and she feels women should be supporting other women not attacking them.' Laura shares her adorable tot Bonnie with her ex, Hollyoaks actor Gary Lucy, who she met during her stint on Celebs Go Dating in 2022. The pair split a year into their relationship before Bonnie was born, with Gary, 43, publicly announcing their break-up just one day after Laura's announcement of her pregnancy. Laura was also criticised by some after revealing that the Maldives break had been gifted to her. One wrote, 'I don't understand society! I mean, I get why companies give free holidays like this to promote. 'But imagine if they allowed people who wouldn't normally experience these types of things and let them promote on social media. Like underpaid nurses, doctors, paramedics, firemen and the people that put out so much into society.' Others, however, were firmly in Laura's corner – pointing out that as an influencer, it was her job to promote companies to her 1.5m Instagram followers. One penned, 'It's called a PR stay. It's her job, she has over 1.5 million followers she is able to promote this to. It's how she earns a living.' Straight-talking Scot Laura swiftly hit back at the nasty online trolls who tried to guilt-trip her about her picture-perfect getaway, posting a video on social media where she more than set the record straight. 'Just to clarify, I do not feel guilty at all for holidaying without my child. Neither should you! Bonnie and I have holidayed together a lot and it's pretty obvious I'm a lone parent and look after her myself. l 100% deserve as many breaks as I see fit,' she said, clearly upset. 'I truly worry about the children of the women judging online and spreading hate. Spend your time reading your child a book instead of trolling me.' She added defiantly, 'I'm also not afraid to say I know l am an unbelievable mother, so your trolling doesn't affect me. It just makes me sad that my daughter is growing up in a world like this. I truly hope you heal.' The source goes on to claim, 'Laura doesn't feel she's done anything wrong – apart from having a good time on holiday with her boyfriend, and sharing her posts, like many of us do. 'She adores her daughter and is absolutely devoted to her. It's horrible for her to read these comments – but she's her own woman, she won't let it stop her living her life or let it destroy her happiness.' And the grass, as they say, is not always greener. Opening up last December, Laura – who was a runner-up on Love Island in 2018, bravely admitted, 'Single working mothers how do you do it? I'm so overwhelmed atm! I don't usually suffer from anxiety but my God I cannot sleep from worry and work is just getting on top of me. I know I'm lucky and I hate being that person who moans but my God there are not enough hours in the day. Trying to keep it together.' Cruel trolls and single mum struggles aside, things are looking good for Laura – who just weeks ago gave fans a sneak peek of her huge new home, with a vast garden and beautiful sea views. And, as for her love story with Clark, the pair seem to be going from strength to strength since going public with their romance last October. Opening up previously about how they first got together, Laura admitted, 'It's not very romantic, he messaged me online, I saw it about three years later and replied and here we are. It's nice, it's chilled, no drama, just simple. A good Scottish boy, I can't complain.' As Laura said in her recent Instagram Story, there will always be someone who is richer or doing better than you in life – 'whatever better is'. Be jealous if that's what you feel, she says, but 'don't judge that person because of it'.

Shocking moment Love Island star Shakira brands new bombshell Yasmin a 't***' as tensions flare while they secretly watch the boys flirt with THREE new girls
The Love Island girls were thrown into a frenzy on Friday night as tensions flared while they watched the boys meet the series' three latest bombshells. After Blu Chegini became the second islander to be dumped from the Majorca villa, the newly-coupled-up boys and single man Shea Mannings were afforded a boys' night away. But after the six lads started discussing their new romances, they were interrupted by three new girls - teaching assistant Malisha, 24, commercial banking executive Yasmin, 24, and insurance development executive Emily, 24. In another major shock, the girls back in the villa were watching exactly what the boys were getting up to on a secret camera for the first time in Love Island history. Unaware the girls were watching on, the bombshells didn't shy away from flirting with the boys, and Yasmin even had some choice words about some of the existing couples - prompting a fuming reaction back in the villa. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Making her opinions clear, Yasmin insisted it was 'bulls***' that American Islander Toni would consider a move to the UK, before saying Ben 'crawled back' to Shakira and criticising Tommy for being 'too comfortable' with Meg. And the girls were unimpressed with her brazen remarks as Shakira shockingly branded her a 't***' while Meg also referred to one of the bombshells as a 'b***h' as tensions flared before they even met the newbies. Making their bombshell arrival, 'serial flirter' Emily sat down herself next to Conor, while Malisha was next to Dejon and Yasmin sat by Tommy as they wasted no time getting to know the boys. 'Tell us what your situation is in the villa at the moment,' Yasmin said. With the lads blissfully ignorant of the fact they are being watched, they didn't hold back with their answers, leaving the ladies back in the villa in shock. As the conversation moved on to Conor, he answered: 'I'm talking to Toni, she's American, I know that's a bit of a thing but she said she'd be happy to come (to Ireland).' Holding nothing back, Yasmin responded: 'Bull****,' much to the dismay of the girls back in the villa. Things went from bad to worse for Toni as Conor later admitted that Emily is exactly his type. The conversation then moved on to Ben, who explained that after a couple of days away from Shakira, they had coupled up once again - with Yasmin cheekily quipping: 'Oh so you went crawling back to her did you?' Moments later, Yasmin turned her attention to Tommy, who is currently coupled up with Irish girl Meg. 'I'm not singling you out when I say this, but do you think you're too comfortable with Meg at the moment?' the 24-year-old asked. The question prompted an angry response from Shakira watching on poolside, who cried: 'You know what, I was all for being nice to the bombshells but she seems like a bit of a t***!' The bombshells' flirty exchange with the lads also saw Dejon and Tommy - who seem happily coupled up - admit the new girls have 'made things interesting' before the three new girls picked a boy each to have a 'private chat' with. Yasmin chose Harry, who has ruffled feathers since entering the villa on day one, with Emily taking Irishman Conor and Malisha choosing Dejon as the episode reached its climax. Before series 12 began on Monday, ITV producers promised the most dramatic series yet. After Sophie Lee became the first islander to be dumped from the villa, new lads Remell and Shea became this series' first male bombshells. Newbie Shea Mannings and Blu Chegini were left single and a shock text revealed that they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first Remell, who quickly found a spark with Scottish girl Alima, raised eyebrows moments after his arrival as he shockingly admitted to bedding five girls in one night. It came before Blu Chegini became the first boy to be dumped after brutally being voted off by his castmates. He and Shea had been left single after the latest recoupling, with a shock text revealing they would have to pick which of them would go home in a show first. With the pair left fuming, Blu was quick to state, 'I ain't f***ing leaving', with Shea also making it clear he wasn't willing to leave, before they forced their co-stars to make the call. However after giving the vote up to their fellow islanders, Blu ultimately received the fewest votes and left the villa. Love Island next airs on Sunday June 16 at 9pm on ITVX and ITV2. Sophie Lee NAME: Sophie Lee AGE: 29 FROM: Manchester OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker and Author WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

NAME: Megan Moore AGE: 25 FROM: Southampton OCCUPATION: Payroll specialist WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? I'd like to meet someone who is tall, with a nice tan, nice eyes and a nice smile.

Taking hours to do my hair NAME: Alima Gagio AGE: 23 FROM: Glasgow OCCUPATION: Wealth Management Client Services Executive WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? A tall man with a handsome face. You know when you just look at a guy and they have that Disney prince look to them? That's it WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? I think she'd hire me because I'm a good flirt.

If they're close and I really fancy them, I'll give them my number anyway. NAME: Ben Holbrough AGE: 23 FROM: Gloucester OCCUPATION: Private Hire Taxi driver WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS?

NAME: Shakira Khan AGE: 26 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Construction Project Manager WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Someone who is tall, charming, witty, with big arms, a good smile and just really funny.

I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman. WOULD MAYA HIRE YOU FOR YOUR FLIRTING SKILLS? Definitely hire. I ask girls if they want to go halves on a baby. It doesn't work, but it gets them laughing. It's an ice-breaker, not a serious question of course!

Clean hair cut. Someone that can make me laugh - I'm super outgoing. And someone that's quite active. Maybe one day we could start our own family together. I WANT TO DATE A BRITISH GUY BECAUSE... I've lived in three different states and I'm still single. It's time to try something new! I have some British friends and they're pretty charming. I think all Americans love a good accent.

I'm such an angelic sleeper. NAME: Yasmin Pettet AGE: 24 FROM: London OCCUPATION: Commercial Banking Executive WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

A show insider said: 'Gabby has had meetings with bosses to do the Channel 4 show and it looks like she is a shoo-in to do it. "She's really keen, she's fit as a fiddle but she's keen to push herself to her physical limits to see what she is capable of. "After her split with Casey, she's just wants a new challenge and she's also excited by the idea of showing TV viewers a different side to her outside the villa.' The Sun has contacted a rep for Gabby and Channel 4 for comment. The gruelling C4 show sees the physical and mental capabilities of celebrity contestants tested to the extreme as they attempt to pass the notoriously difficult SAS Selection test. The last series featured the likes of Bianca Gascoigne, Bobby Norris, John Barrowman and Marnie Simpson. Gabby could follow in last year's winner and former Love Island star Georgia Harrison's footsteps. Reality star and campaigner Georgia and professional boxer Lani Daniels were the two celebrities who passed the selection process and were named winners.

They had a really good relationship and enjoyed each others time but the reality is that they are focusing on different things and they both have realised that. "Neither of them have parted ways badly but they just knew it wasn't going to work anymore. "Both have confided in quite a few friends about this and so it's not really a secret in their circles, but they've made the decision to part ways this week.' It was only in April that fitness pro Gabby, 33, revealed Casey, 28, had made her his girlfriend. She shared a clip on Instagram showing her having her makeup done for an event and Casey was talking over the video. Gabby said: "Boyfriend does my voiceover. Getting red carpet ready with @maybelline." Up until then, the one time villa lothario had remained coy on their relationship status. Casey told "Like, I will ask Gabby to be my girlfriend at some point. "But do you know what it is? It's all this like noise of, 'When are you going to ask? When are you going to ask?' I feel like I don't want to now just ask it because people are saying it. I want to just do it.' 5 Gabby is now hoping that signing up will show a different side to her Credit: Instagram
