Love Island star Emma reveals real reason she and Harry discussed winning £50k after ‘game plan' rumours
LOVE Island's evicted bombshell Emma Munro has opened up on the real reason she discussed the show's whopper cash prize with Harry Cooksley. Love Island 2025 OG Harry was 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." 6 6 6 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. Yet their connection then appeared to take a turn - after Harry pulled Emma for a chat and they enjoyed some new banter about PDA, as fans claimed 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." SPEAK OUT As well as his flirting with ex Shakira Khan and new bombshell Angel Swift, footballer Harry was previously seen telling his ex Emma that he still loves her, prior to her being dumped from the island. At the time, Emma tried telling Helena what Harry had told her but the besotted star refused to believe her. However, after seeing the clip for herself at the show's Grafties, Helena had said on Friday's episode that she wished she could apologise to her former love rival. She also raged: "I didn't expect you to be sitting with your ex-girlfriend and saying you'll get back into bed with one another on the outside.

The 1% Club return date confirmed as ITV announces HUGE shake-up to format that 'will leave the nation hooked'
The 1% Club's return date has been confirmed as ITV announces a huge shake-up to its format that 'will leave the nation hooked'. The quiz show, presented by comedian Lee Mack, started in April 2022 and has since proven hugely successful, winning two National Television Awards. It welcomes 100 contestants who all attempt to win a cash prize, with a whopping £100,000 available as the top pot. The programme's questions are put to the public before the episode, with the percentage who get it right determining the difficulty of each round. Aptly, the final quiz question is one that just one per cent of the public answered correctly. The fourth series of the show, which is normally shown on Saturday nights, ended in May - but ITV has now announced it will be back in autumn, in a brand new form. Instead of airing just one night per week, the programme will be transformed to create a five-day special event renamed The 1% Club Rollover. The basic gameplay will remain the same - but if the prize pot is not won on one episode, it will roll over to the next. It will raise the stakes massively as if all pots rolled over for all five days, it means an astonishing £500,000 could be up for grabs by the final episode of the week. Not only this, anyone who gets as far as the final one per cent quiz question will automatically win the right come back for the next episode of the week to play again. It means if someone wins big during one show, they could still potentially get more on the next episode - doubling, tripling or even quadrupling their winnings. The new five-day special version of The 1% Club recalls the structure of other popular newer quiz shows, like Richard Osman's House Of Games. It capitalises on the existing smash success of the programme, which is the biggest original quiz show in more than a decade. The show regularly sees six million viewers tune in every episode - and across its three-year run so far, it has been streamed more than 40 million times. It capitalises on the existing smash success of the programme, which is the biggest original quiz show in more than a decade. Pictured: Lee Mack with the award for Quiz Game Show for The 1% Club at the National Television Awards 2023 The 1% Club has won two Broadcast Awards and a Rose d'Or, all for Best Entertainment Show. It was also awarded a Television and Radio Industries Club (TRIC) Award for Best Game Show. It has also received two BAFTA nominations, for Best Entertainment Show and for Best Entertainment Performance by Lee Mack. Sue Murphy, ITV's head of factual entertainment, said: 'The 1% Club Rollover as event TV is a perfect fit. 'The series continues to go from strength to strength and has become a must watch in homes across the country on Saturday nights. 'This special Rollover week will really be a primetime event that will have the nation hooked. Five nights of The 1% Club and Lee Mack… What's not to like?' The tricksy questions on The 1% Club often really challenge contestants, with viewers tuning in to try to answer themselves - and see how they would fare. One recent 'odd one out' question forced a whopping 13 players to use their one pass they are allowed in the game. Each contestant starts with £1,000 in their personal bank - so if they decide to pass, their money gets put into the prize pot and they move on to the next round. During one episode, the 45 per cent question proved tricky for several players. Lee asked: 'Which is the odd one out? A) Dapple, B) Slime, C) Spear or D) Rabbit.' The answer was 'rabbit' - and there was some quite tricky reasoning behind it. The host explained: 'Rabbit is the only word when you take away the first letter it does not spell out the name of a fruit.' And after 30 seconds on the clock, Lee revealed: 'We've only lost three of you but there was 13 passes on that one.' The 1% Club is available to watch on ITV1 and to stream on ITVX.
