Is Tom leaving Love Island? Hunk packs his bags after shock arrival of ex Emma
The reality TV star is shaken after his former flame rocks up at the ITV2 villa
THE Love Island dream has swiftly turned into a nightmare for Tom Powell after his ex Emma-Jane Woodham rocked up - and now the "stressed" TV star is packing his bags for home.
Viewers of tonight's show will see the hunk, who has previously seen sparks fly with Sophie Gradon in the sun-soaked villa, stuff his suitcase with his clothes as he struggles to cope with Emma's arrival.
In a candid chat with Sophie, who he bedded in a previous episode, he admitted: "The situation is getting on top of me a lot; I'm struggling to handle it."
Sophie then fired back: "I'm struggling to handle you."
After returning to the bedroom following their chat, telly addicts will see him tell his other housemates: “I don’t want to be here anymore.
"[Sophie] told me that I’ve pushed her over the line. I’ve tried to explain to Sophie, but she’s not having any of it.
"I’m not being in here without her. I can’t do it.”
Self-styled "headstrong and sassy" babe Emma warned viewers she would make her mark on the villa.
She suggested her former boyfriend Tom would "hit the roof" if she struck up a relationship with a lad under his nose during the programme.
The trainee project manager said: "Tom won’t be impressed. I’ll eat a bikini if he doesn’t hit the roof.
"I think he’ll go off at me first then he’ll make it his mission to go around all the guys and make sure they’re not going to crack on with me."

Earlier in the show fans will see Sophie try to put Tom's mind at rest while also suggesting he had made the situation a little more sticky than it needed to be.
She can be heard insisting: “It didn’t have to be a stressful situation though Tom. You had to look for another reason to have an issue with me. You’re hard work Tom.
"We’re not teaming up against you, you should just lighten up and chill out. I don’t think you even realise how difficult you are.
"I have been so calm and patient with you and you just push and push all the time.
"Me and her are fine and me and you were fine.
"You, in your own head, made this situation ten times worse.”
Not letting the land lie, Sophie continues to bombard Tom with her fiery outburst and added: “Every day there’s something else. Every day. I’m not walking on eggshells with you anymore.”
