A LOVE Island beauty has been growing close to a former villa runner-up just days after being savagely dumped.
Welsh beauty Emily Moran, 24, who hails from Aberdare but was living in Australia before her TV stint, was dumped from the villa after Tommy Bradley brought back a blonde bombshell from Casa Amor.
But since leaving the villa, things seem to be on the up for her - personally and professionally.
Fans recently noticed how she and a former Love Island hunk Ciaran Davies, 22, has been supporting Emily since her villa departure.
Ciaran was coupled up with Nicole Samuel in last year's series, with the pair parting ways a few months later.
The Sun can now reveal that there is a spark of sorts between Emily and fellow Welsh Love Island star Ciaran, with them having connected recently.
A source exclusively told The Sun: "Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff on how she was and handled herself on the show towards the end, which got them to talking.
"Both have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level and they're looking to see how things go."
The source added how at the moment since coming out of the villa, Emily is "taking every opportunity she can" especially with brand deals.
They noted that Ciaran "is absolutely fine" with her focusing on getting brand deals and making a name for herself "because that's what everyone does when they get out".
The source continued: "Emily has no intention of moving back to Australia as of yet as she's focused on her work and recent brand deals here in the UK.
"But maybe who's to say that something romantically might also sway her decision to stay in the UK.
"Apparently she has something big on the horizon with some brand."
This revelation comes after fans predicted a possible romance between the two fellow Welsh stars.
"Okay hear me out…" said one person on Reddit earlier this week.
They added: "Thoughts on Ciaran (S11) and Emily? I’ve noticed him commenting on her pictures and supporting her in general since she came on the show (presumably because she’s also Welsh).
"I just think they would look absolutely gorgeous together."
Someone then commented: "I co-sign! Hopefully they can meet up soon."
While another said: "They both seem like the loyal tunnel vision type except falling for the wrong person. Maybe they would be perfect together. Also physically they would be hotter than all the other couples they have been in. So I ship it."
And a third penned: "I could see it."
Emily was dumped from Love Island earlier this month after Tommy arrived back in the main Villa with Lucy, who he had gotten to know during Casa Amor.
Before Casa, Emily and Tommy had been building a connection following his former flame Megan deciding to get to know Conor before she was dumped.
Although, now Megan has made a comeback to the villa, could she rekindle things with Conor?
