Who is Love Island’s Emily? A reminder of her age, background and more as she and Toni come to blows

If you're anything like us, you've been sitting front and centre for all things Love Island this summer. The reality show has hit our screens once again, pulling us into another dimension of fake tan, feuds and frantic recouplings, and we can't believe we went a whole year without it!

This season has seen plenty of romantic drama, but a fair share of Islander fallings out to boot. Top of mind? The spat which, seemingly, appeared from nowhere, between Toni Laites and bombshell Emily Moran. As we puzzle over what happened, here's a lil reminder as to who Emily is and what went down...

She is 24 years old.

Emily appears to have been born on 4 May, 2001, making her a Taurus. This is an earth sign which is known to be reliable, sensible, sensual, and have a taste for the finer things.

She is an insurance development executive.

Emily is Welsh and hails from Aberdare, which also happens to be the home of Love Island 2024's Nicole Samuel. Small world, huh? Before Love Island, Emily was living in Sydney, Australia.

Shortly after Emily went on the villa, her TikTok presence was boosted by a video of her friend's dad reacting in live time to her appearing in the villa as a bombshell. His flabbergasted response is one for the ages.

Speaking to producers, Emily had a pretty clear idea of her type, saying: "Someone with emotional intelligence for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!"

She's also get a clear picture on this one, so stay away if you don't mind your Ps and Qs. "Bad manners, being rude, not saying please and thank you. I’d rather someone be overly polite than not say it at all," she said.

Emily does indeed have TikTok, and can be found over on the clock app at @emillymorann. Her posts have major clean girl energy and also include dumps from her life in Australia.

Conor Phillips.

Emily entered the villa as a bombshell alongside Yasmin and Malisha towards the end of the first week. The trio were announced on 13 June and appeared during boys' night, when the male Islanders were discussing their early connections in the villa. Emily opted to take Conor, who was coupled up with Toni, for a date. Conor ended things with Toni to pursue his connection with Emily and Emily and Conor made it offish at the next recoupling.

However, it's not been all smooth sailing for Emily. Toni appeared to take a dislike to her in an episode aired on 20 June, sarcastically calling her "Little Miss Sunshine" and speaking poorly of her with Shakira. Meg later pulled Emily to the side to tell her what Toni had been saying about her.

Things escalated after Emily pulled Toni for a chat to see if she would want to open up about what she had been saying about her behind her back. Toni said "I've been very bothered by you," and went onto explain she was annoyed about Emily's reaction to the recoupling in which Toni and Malisha were left single.

In response, Emily was confused, and the discussion got more heated. Toni told Emily to, "get the f**k out of my face" and Emily said of Toni to the wider group, "she's f**king nuts." Emily also asked if the situation had to do with Toni's prior involvement with Conor, who she Emily is currently in a couple with, but Toni denied this.

We'll see how this one develops as the season progresses...
