It’s somehow been six years since the second series of Love Island aired on our screens and yet all of the show’s absolutely iconic moments still live rent free inside our brains. We’ll simply never forget the scenes when Zara Holland tearfully made her exit after being stripped of her Miss GB title for doing the horizontal hokey cokey with Alex Bowen or Kady McDermott’s epic meltdown when her fella Scott Thomas went on a date with bombshell Tina Stinnes.
However, our favourite moment from the series is, without a doubt, Malin Andersson’s epic comeback to confront Terry Walsh for coupling up (and a whole lot more…) with late entrant Emma Jane Woodhams despite vowing to stay loyal when she was dumped from the villa.
Emma had already caused quite a stir for being fellow cast member Tom Powell’s ex-girlfriend and later hit the headlines when she and Terry romped on top of the covers for everyone to see. Seeing as over half a decade has passed since then, we thought we’d take a look at Emma’s Instagram to see what she’s up to these days and were surprised to find that she’s looking very different.
The 2016 Islander debuted a striking new look at the start of the year when she decided to switch up her look with a chic block fringe to see in 2022. At the time, she shared a video of her hairdresser pal completing the transformation and wrote, “2022, my year 🤫 Also get you a best friend like mine 🤪 killed it bae 🙇🏽♀️ @hair.by.r.g.”
Emma’s followers were loving the change and rushed to the comments section to compliment her, with one writing, “This is everything 😍,” while another added, “Loveeee the fringe 😍”.
A third added, “Cuteee 😍😍 love it 🔥🔥.”
