It’s always the messiest week of Love Island, but this year’s Casa Amor really did stir things up didn’t it. There were more recouplings than we’ve had hot dinners, there was plenty of drama between the bombshells and the newbies and, not only that, but Giorgio Russo and Emily Moran were sent packing too.
Emily was dumped when Tommy Bradley decided to recouple with Lucy Quinn and although the new couple haven’t really had any drama in the villa, it’s been a different story in the outside world as a voice note in which Lucy allegedly tells a pal she’s coupling up with Tommy to make it to the final leaked online last week.
We had to ask Emily for her reaction to the voice note when she paid us a visit at heat Towers earlier this week and she’s didn’t hold back.
‘[It’s] really not ideal at all. I just really don’t want Tommy to get hurt, to be honest. He’s a really genuine, nice boy,’ Emily told us.
‘The thought of her going in there and doing it just potentially because she wants to stay there or because he’s the golden boy, it does break my heart a little bit. Also, it’s a bit sad on my side because we started to develop something really really nice and that’s sort of ruined now for something that might not be genuine.
‘From my side, obviously, it was genuine and from Tommy’s side as well, I’d like to say, because he is that type of boy. It’s a bit gutting, I can’t lie.’
Last week, a social media user posted a recording of a voice note they claimed was sent by Lucy to one of her friends revealing that she was going to be entering the villa with her eye set on Tommy so she could get 'right to the end'.
'They asked me my top three boys, and I told them I want Tommy. I feel like if I’m with Tommy I’ll get all the way to the end cause everyone loves him. I don’t know if you’ve been watching but that Megan has been sent home, and I’m f**king made up. She’s been sent home because of the way she’s treated Tommy. I’m made up I’ve been watching it because I know how to act, and she’s been a little slapper in there the public have voted her out. I just need to be a nice girl and stick with Tommy,' the voice said.
It's not been confirmed that the voice note was sent by Lucy and, at the moment, she's unable to speak out on the matter as she's still in the villa.
Lucy and Tommy are at risk of being dumped from the villa tonight (Tuesday 15 July) and while we don’t know if their fate just yet, Emily has admitted she would be open to picking things back up with Tommy if he returns home single.
‘The door is… there’s a little crack open for myself and Tommy on the outside, but he’d have to graft. He’d have to get on his knees and say how sorry he is to let me go. No, it’s not that deep,’ she joked.
‘I think it something I would potentially explore when he comes out, obviously if he comes out single. Who knows? I don’t think he did anything with malicious intentions, to be honest. I don’t even think he thought I would have gone, he would have got to know us both.’
