Love Island Casa Amor bombshell Emma Munro is 'standing on business' as she faces ex Harry

Love Island'sCasa Amor has finally arrived and the general consensus is that viewers love the Casa girls. But no matter which villa you're loyal to at the moment, newcomer Emma Munro is set to be a fan favourite.

Unfortunately pitted against one another in a Harry Cooksley love triangle, day-one contestantsShakira Khan and Helena Ford appear to have both suffered the lies of their shared love interest - who has just been exposed on ITV by his long-term ex, Emma.

After stating Harry did not deserve villa favourite Shakira, Emma laid down the law. She immediately vocalised her distaste for name-calling, telling Harry to "drop the act" after he called her a "little freak". Going further to comment: "And the way you've been moving with Helena, honestly, you two deserve each other. You're a great couple," before adding they had been acting like "two snakes".

Emma was upfront about her feelings, telling Harry he was "embarrassing himself" on TV with his hideaway mischief and asked the straight forward question: whether he was "fed up" with himself already.

Emma has been praised by the Love Island audience and Love Island: Aftersun panellists for her candid nature and no-nonsense approach to her ex, calling out Harry's misdemeanours immediately and speaking up for his previous TV partner Shakira.

Emma remained calm and collected as she humbled Harry, rebutted his 'bad boy' act and reminded him of the reason they split - him cheating with other women in their shared home.

Hope Flynn, a relationship expert and Founder of So What? Community, spoke to the Mirror on the morphing attitudes of Reality TV women. She said: "I've really noticed the shift in how women are showing up on reality TV lately - there’s a whole new energy.

"Women are confidently setting boundaries, communicating their needs and walking away from anything that doesn’t align with their values. They’re standing on business and it’s brilliant and inspiring to see".

"This isn’t just about drama or strong personalities anymore. It reflects a wider cultural change, especially among Millennials and Gen Z. I think millennials helped open up conversations around therapy, emotional wellbeing and self worth and now Gen Z has taken that a step further," Hope added.

Interestingly, around half of the main villa's patrons are aged 24 or younger, signifying a return of younger contestants to Mallorca's shores. "Gen Z are direct, emotionally aware and not afraid to call things out as they happen!" says Hope, which can be especially seen in Shakira, 22, and Harry's, 30, dynamic, compared to Harry and Helena.

The relationship expert added: "What’s so refreshing to see, is less of the people pleasing or 'pick me' behaviour that was once quite common on these shows. Now instead there’s a real sense of clarity - this is what I want and this is what I won’t tolerate! That kind of knowledge of self worth is powerful and it’s healthy to see".

The founder concluded by stating: "When people are clear about their boundaries and confident in their worth, they’re more likely to form genuine, respectful connections. It raises the bar not just for the people on screen but for the viewers at home too!!"
