The pair infamously had sex on top of the covers in the communal bedroom during last year's series, and Emma-Jane reveals in the video that she is still trolled over her wild antics 12 months later.
Sitting on a bed in an oversized grey hoody with her hair scraped off her face in a high ponytail, the 20-year-old said: "I have once again become the centre of a s*** storm of trolling and so I just wanted to use this as an opportunity to try and finally put some things to bed.
"Last year on Love Island I made a mistake, I made a massive, massive mistake and I know that.
"The amount of abuse I take, still now, because of it, from strangers that won't let me live down a mistake I have repeatedly apologised for is horrendous."
Emma-Jane added she has grown a "very thick skin" and refuses to ignore the trolls any longer.
She said: "Nobody is speaking out and saying, behind these accounts we are real people, with real feelings and we get very hurt by people who have absolutely no right to say such spiteful, and vile things because they don't like us on a show which was intended for a bit of lighthearted entertainment.

"When people bring my family into the comments, that's what hurts me the most, that's what cuts me deep, but I'm very lucky that I have an amazing family that love me, and forgiven me for Love Island last year, so I think that it's time that the public do too."
Emma-Jane then confirmed she had split from Terry in February and got together with boyfriend Jordan in April, before falling pregnant at the end of that month.

She continued: "I just want to say, to put it to bed, I have actually known the dad for seven years almost so it's not just like some random guy or one night stand like people are saying. That's purely rumour.
"I don't feel like I should have to justify that but I will if it means that people can leave it alone a little bit."

The reality star then went on to reveal some of the horrendous and evil messages she had received since her pregnancy was confirmed.
She said: "I've had messages saying that my baby should get Down's Syndrome and that I deserve to have my baby kicked out of me.
"One girl said she hoped I die delivering it so... people don't have to like me, I'm not asking that, all I'm asking is, if you don't like me scroll past.
"If you don't like what I'm doing, you don't need to tell me. I don't need to hear your opinion just like you don't have to read my profile or an article about me."

Emma-Jane then said how thankful she was to the fans and followers who had posted nice comments to her in the wake of her baby news, and that she can't wait to be a mum.
She said: "I'm just going to go forward from this and hold my head high, and look into the future.
"Obviously I'm really excited for the next few months and beyond and I will keep you updated on all things me and baby as and when I find them out and as and when things happen."
