'There's hardly any strong couples': Love Island's Emily gives damning verdict on remaining Islanders
Love Island's Emily Moran has given her verdict on the remaining couples in the Villa, revealing there are no strong couples currently on the show. During her 'Fire Pit' interview with Cosmopolitan UK following her dumping from the Villa last week, Emily spoke about her time on the show, how she felt about her current partner Tommy returning from Casa Amor with Lucy and what she thought of the couples still on the show. As part of the interview she was asked if there are any strong couples in the Villa, and she said even when you're in the Villa, it doesn't feel like there's many strong couples as everyone is so open. "Everyone says they're 'open', that's all you hear, all the time but then people are not acting open," she said. "Then you see things behind people's backs and then you're like so 'you are acting open'. It's hard in there. At the minute I can't believe how many non-strong couples are in there." She then went onto give her verdict on two of the longest running couples in the Villa. Dejon and Meg have been together since the first day of the new series, however, they've had many ups and downs, but recently made things closed off. Emily said of the OG couple: "Dejon and Meg, they have a lot of respect for each other and there are a lot of feelings involved. They have said they're open, so him flirting, going on dates, he's not necessarily doing anything wrong but he's not telling the truth when he gets back and I think that's the problem." Harry and Helena who have been interested in each other for the majority of the show, and are very flirty with each other, but haven't closed things off yet has lead to a lot of confusion amongst fans as to what the nature of their relationship is. And Emily revealed fans aren't alone in their confusion, "Everyone in the villa is confused [about Harry and Helena]," she said. "They do have this magnetic spark. They're so similar, it does work, but then at the same time they have similar tendencies, obviously he's worse. But like Helena likes a flirt as well, she loves a little kiss. 'Hideaway Helena' as she likes to call herself. "They're very similar, so it can either be the best thing ever if they just prioritise each other or it could end in tears. It's like one or the other. But I think she's [Helena] just enjoying it to be honest." As for her own relationship with Tommy, Emily said she would consider getting back with him if he and Lucy don't work out, noting that the door is "still open". Emily was dumped from Love Island last week after Tommy arrived back in the main Villa with Lucy, who he had gotten to know during Casa Amor. As Emily had not chosen to recouple with any of the boys and therefore this left her single, which meant she was dumped from the Island. Love Island continues on ITV2 and ITVX tonight

'Love Island's Yasmin is the ultimate bombshell: Even if you disagree with her actions, she's nailing it'
When it comes to Love Island bombshells, there are a few Islanders that have landed in the villa with a bang, and delivered on exactly what they were meant to do. From Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu crawling onto the terrace (it lives rent-free in my head) to Maura Higgins telling off Tom, the arrival of bombshells who promise to bombshell has been few and far between. But thankfully it looks like season 12 could be about to bring us a new iconic bombshell, in the shape of Yasmin Pettet. Yasmin, 24, made her Love Island debut on Friday 13th June (kind of fitting, now that I think about it), and didn't hold back from the minute she arrived - calling "bulls**t" on Toni Laites saying she'd relocate to the UK for love. Later, when she met the girls for the first time, Yasmin she didn't backtrack - instead holding firm to what she'd said. Admittedly, it would've been silly to deny it, considering the girls had been watching the whole thing, but Yasmin didn't mince her words or rephrase anything to be agreeable. Instead, she said it with her chest. Despite coupling up with Shea Mannings, Yasmin has been getting to know whoever she wants - taking Harry Cooksley to the terrace for a chat, and even putting the moves on Dejon Noel-Williams, who she jokingly asked if he'd have a threesome with her and Toni. While some might not like her approach, when it comes to being a bombshell, Yasmin is bombshelling like there's no tomorrow. I've spoken to a lot of Islanders over the years, and the one piece of advice they always give when it comes to being a bombshell is to simply just "go for it" - 'it' being whatever or whoever you want. During an episode of Cosmopolitan UK's Fire Pit video series, when asked what advice she'd give to latecomers, Harriett Blackmore said: "I feel like you need to treat everyday like it's your last. Like if you actually fancy someone then just say it because you don't know how long you're going to be in there, you don't know how everything is going to go day-to-day. So, if you don't do that one thing then you could just literally be out the villa." Matilda Draper added: "You need to be bold." Yasmin couldn't be any bolder if she tried! From randomly talking about her sexual desires, to kissing Dejon and Harry during a recent game of dares - despite being coupled up with Shea (who, might I add, she didn't kiss once), this babe is doing things her own way. And she deserves a round of applause for that. Coming into a villa with already formed couples and friendships, it could be easy to just go for the safer options to "fit in", but Yasmin is showing that she came to play the game of Love Island, not so much Friendship Island. Harsh, but the game is the game, and it could be argued that the other girlies might want to take a leaf out of her book or at least talk to everyone, considering it's only week two. Nobody is locked off and the boys are exploring their options, so why shouldn't they? Despite Yasmin's previous comments about Toni, the duo seem to be getting along well. Which just shows, at the end of the day, she might be fiery or blunt, but she's just doing what a bombshell has to do: getting to know who she's interested in, even if that means stepping on toes. We can't fault her for that. Love Island airs on ITV2 on weekdays and Sundays.
