Why did Harry and Emma split?

Love Island stars Harry and Emma were in a relationship for three to fours years (depending which person you ask), however it wasn't all plain sailing in their partnership as Harry has admitted being unfaithful.

Speaking to Helena about cheating on Emma, the 30 year-old said: "Yeah, a week in. Then we were together for almost three years after that."

Despite the difficult start to their relationship, Harry made a declaration of love to his girlfriend by getting the letter 'E' tattooed on his wrist.

Giving her side of the story, Emma said: "Harry and I had been together for four years but unfortunately we broke up because he was misbehaving."

During the Monday July 9th episode, fans watched as Emma revealed Harry "brought girls" back to their home without her permission.

She said: "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. You think as soon as there's a boundary in place, cross it?"You think, 'oh yes, let me just f*** this up', like there's just no need for any other woman to be in my house."

Harry replied: "You don't have very high thoughts of me, or you don't think a lot of me, but I am here. I think I said that in the letter to you years ago.

With Emma then adding: "Years ago? You mean in February? We make the choice not to be together because we know that you can't give me what I need, and that's why it's not because we don't love each other, we have to like, be strong enough to like, stand on that decision."

Earlier this week viewers saw Emma join the show alongside fellow Casa Amor girls Lucy Quinn, Yasmin Broom, Rheo Parnell, Lauren Wood and Andrada Pop.

While the Casa Amor boys Cach Mirjah Mercer, Boris Vidovic, Chris Middleton, Jamie Rhodes, Martin Enitan and Ty Isherwood joined the main villa.

Fans will have to wait to see whether the current Islanders choose to recouple or stick with their current partner.
