Previously, fans were left convinced Giorgio Russo was set to walk before he was given the boot from Love Island’s Mallorca villa.
Yet his farewell came when he was given the green light to bring back someone new from Casa Amor following his friendship partnership Billykiss – but then decided to return alone.
Meanwhile, Welsh lass Emily Moran was left single when Tommy returned to the main villa with a bombshell instead.
The pair gave their take on villa life to anchor Maya Jama on spin-off show, Aftersun.
Yet fans were quick to note how Emily had her hand on his leg in a cosy snap posted afterwards.
The beauty, who lives in Australia, looked chic in a green halterneck dress.
She slicked her brunette locks into a high up-do with waves framing her face and accessorised with gold jewellery.
Giorgio, wearing a white shirt and jeans, flashed a beaming smile as they shared a drink on set.
In her caption, Emily tagged him and put: “The man himself.”
SPEAKING OUT
Their flirty display comes after Giorgio spoke out about returning to the main villa alone.
He revealed: “None of the girls were 100 per cent my type in Casa Amor, but I got on well with Yaz initially and tried to make something work that could have potentially sparked, but it didn’t really turn out that way.
“I know what it’s like being brought back to the Villa in a non-starter couple, so I didn’t want to put Yaz in that situation.”
He added: “There wasn’t really anyone in there for me but it was great to see some of the other boys have instant connections.
“I’m not sure Conor and Emma will last. I’m not sure of Emma’s real motive of going into the Villa.
