Love Island’s drama took a personal turn when Emma Munro, Harry Cooksley’s ex, exposed his cryptic final message before entering the villa. The hydrogeologist shared jaw-dropping details on a podcast, revealing she initially thought he was heading to rehab, not reality TV.
Their messy history, including cheating scandals and emotional turmoil, has kept fans hooked. Here’s what really happened.

Emma’s Shocking Revelation About Harry’s Pre-Villa Text
Emma Munro didn’t hold back when discussing Harry’s bizarre farewell text. On the Spill With Will podcast, she said:
“No, he 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.’”
She admitted her initial assumption was far from the truth:
“I thought, oh, he’s going to rehab. Or he’s checked into a wellness centre. How wrong was I?”.
The bombshell later discovered Harry was on Love Island via the show’s Instagram—confirming his secrecy.

Their Complicated History: Cheating, Boundaries, and Broken Trust
Emma didn’t shy away from calling out Harry’s past behavior. In the villa, she confronted him about bringing other women into their shared home:
“The fact of the matter is, you’ve brought girls into our home, and I wouldn’t do that to you, because that was the rules, and you think the rules don’t apply to you. It’s my house, Harry.”.
A former fling of Harry’s corroborated the claims, telling The Sun:
“One girl used to go round every weekend, and she saw Emma’s clothes in the room and her belongings in the wardrobe. It’s awful.”.
Despite their toxic past, Emma admitted they still shared a deep connection, even joking about armpit sniffing in the villa.
Fan Reactions and the Aftermath
Viewers were divided. Some praised Emma for keeping Harry accountable, while others criticized her for flirting with him post-dumping.
One fan tweeted:
“I need Emma to remember she’s only here to make Harry look bad. Don’t go off script, sweetie!”.
Meanwhile, Harry’s current relationship with Shakira Khan faces scrutiny. Emma warned:
“I just hope and pray he doesn’t hurt her the way he hurt me.”.
