They’re perhaps two of the nicest people who have ever appeared on Love Island, so Emily Moran and Tommy Bradley seemed like a match made in heaven when they got to know each other and eventually coupled up in the villa.
Sadly though, their blossoming romance came to a grinding halt during Casa Amor (because, of course) when Tommy chose to recouple with Lucy Quinn in the second villa. This meant that Emily was left single and swiftly dumped from the island.
But are things really over for Emily and Tommy? After all, it’s not unheard of for Islanders to rekindle things in the outside world.
During a recent visit to heat Towers, Emily admitted she would be open to picking up where she left off with Tommy if things between him and Lucy don’t work out.
‘The door is 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 is something that I would potentially explore when he comes out, if he comes out single. Who knows?’
Unfortunately for Emily, however, Tommy hasn’t exactly left the villa single as it seems he’s going to continue getting to know Lucy in the outside world.
‘We’re going to go to a few nice restaurants. We both love steakhouses so we’ll have some nice steaks, I’ll have a bottle of red wine, she’ll have a bottle of rose. I’ve never been to Liverpool before so she’ll give me the tour,’ Tommy said in a post-dumping interview.
He continued, ‘I’m excited for the next chapter. Our Love Island journey ended but it’s the start of something new so I’m excited to see where it goes.’
And, as for where he stands with Emily, Tommy continued, ‘I think she’s got a heart of gold and a great person in general. She ticked every single box I looked for in a girl and she’s my type but I just didn’t feel like that romantic spark was there.
‘I am disappointed in myself about that because I don’t know why I felt like that. I’d love to catch up with her. She was a huge part of my Love Island journey.’
