With producers promising ‘twists and turns’ in this year’s series of Love Island, the latest season is definitely living up to our expectations. Brutal dumpings, cold-hearted uncouplings, endless drama and game-playing is clearly on the agenda this time around.
Within days of the series' start, a number of male and female bombshells entered the Love Island villa to shake things up. One of them is Emily Moran. Let's find out more about her...
Who is Emily Moran?
Emily Moran is one of the Love Island 2025 bombshells, who entered the villa on day five alongside Yasmin Pettet and Malisha Jordan.
Where is Emily Moran from?
Emily is from Aberdare, in Wales – the same town as Nicole Samuel from last year’s show. She was living in Sydney, Australia, before flying back for Love Island.
How old is Emily Moran?
Emily is 24.
What does Emily Moran do for a living?
Emily works as an insurance development executive.
Does Emily Moran have Instagram?
She does! You can find her @emilyxmorann
What is Emily Moran like?
She definitely sounds like someone we don’t want to cross! ‘I’m really stubborn. I am always right and I don’t argue unless I know I’m right,’ Emily says. ‘If someone’s arguing with me and I know I’m right… watch out! I’m not very good at being the one to say ‘sorry’, I’m stubborn and set in my ways. If I make my mind up I’m set, which can be good and bad. I’m decisive, 100 percent.’
Currently in her ‘wholesome era’, she works out every day – her faves are Pilates and running – and she enjoys reading. She still likes a night out but admits she’s home by 10pm.
She says that she’s all for girl power and won’t steal a guy from another villa-mate, unless the circumstances feel right. ‘I wouldn’t go after someone who wasn’t giving me the vibe back, I wouldn’t choose someone who didn’t fancy me,’ Emily explains. ‘You can always feel if there’s a vibe. I wouldn’t want someone who doesn’t want me or was giving someone else the time of day or lying to me. I want to be open and honest.’
Who is Emily Moran’s dream man?
She reveals he’s got to have the right combination of brains and brawn. ‘Someone with emotional intelligence for one. Someone who is really confident but not cocky. They can hold a room, communicate… oh, and biceps!’ she says.
Emily is holding out for her knight. ‘I want someone who is just really genuine and kind. I know that sounds so naff, but it’s hard to find these days,’ she explains. ‘I’d also like a man who genuinely cares about my wellbeing and my feelings and wants to look after me. I want a male figure comforting me and wanting to do the little things, like getting me a morning coffee and noticing if my back needs suncream. I feel like that’s where people have lacked before.’
What she doesn’t want is someone who is rude, admitting that anyone with ‘bad manners, being rude, not saying please and thank you’ would put her off. ‘I’d rather someone be overly polite than not say it at all.’
Who has Emily Moran coupled up with on Love Island?
Being a latecomer to the party meant that Emily wasn’t able to match officially with a guy – until the fourth recoupling. She’s been getting closer to Irish rugby player Conor Phillips, but his ‘partner’ Toni Laites stood in the way. Wanting to be honest and open, Emily had a talk with Toni.
‘He [Conor] mentioned [going to] the Hideaway, but I said no because I respect how you’ve been throughout the whole situation,’ Emily told Toni. She also made it clear that she doesn’t want to hurt her, adding, ‘I think the world of you, you’ll have your man, you will!
Toni then confronted Conor, paving the way clear for Emily and Conor to explore their feelings. Where will they go from here?
