Now the lad will be hoping to find love in Majorca as part of Maya Jama's squad.
But right up until the moment the cast of the 2025 series was revealed, a girl has claimed that Harry was dating her.
Heartbroken by the revelation that he'd be starring on Love Island she called him a 'liar,' and explained that she thought he was flying out to Bali, not to the villa in Mallorca.
She told The Sun: 'I was dating Harry until the moment he sat on the flight going to Love Island.
'He told me he was going to Bali and I genuinely thought we had a future together, but no. He is a huge manipulator and I'm not the only girl he's done this too.'
She continued to explain that other girls had spoken to her, claiming they, too, were dating Harry.
She added: 'Turns out he was dating a few people at once.'
She continued: 'He called me for three hours before he jetted off to Love Island, and told me he was going to Bali to build a life for our family. It's so scary how he lied to me, and I feel so broken. I've been completely blindsided by him.
'I also got a call from another girl after it came to light that he was going on the show, and she said he'd been dating her for seven months, at the same time that he was dating me.
Ten Years of Love Island
'I was even planning on meeting him out in Bali, because it was such a secure conversation and he never ended what we had, despite knowing he was going on Love Island.'
In a heartbreaking final revelation she added: 'I've never cried so much and felt so blindsided and lied to like this from another human being.'
ITV has responded to the claims, saying: 'All of our Islanders are single and looking for love," when approached for comment.
Ahead of Harry's arrival on the hit show, a source said: 'Harry's got the full package - a great, athletic bod and great chat.
'Love Island's ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane will be sure to impress as he plays away.'
When asked if he has a claim to fame, the Guildford-native said: "I'm the body double for Declan Rice.
"So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me.
"You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing."

Love Island's Ronnie Vint 'moves on with influencer after flirty chats in Ibiza' following his split from Harriett Blackmore
Love Island's Ronnie Vint seems to have moved on from ex-girlfriend Harriett Blackmore already. The reality star, 28, has reportedly been getting to know social media influencer Lauren Watson - who boats 153k followers - after claims they were seen flirting in Ibiza earlier this week. Ronnie and Harriett - who initially met on Love Island - split for a second time on Thurday. Ronnie was at the launch of the Unexpected Hotel on the Spanish island on Tuesday, and he is said to have spent most of it 'flirting with Lauren.' It's thought that the pair already follow each other on social media. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. It's thought that the pair already follow each other on social media - with Lauren reportedly catching his attention during his trip A source told The Sun: 'Ronnie looked really into Lauren, and certainly wasn't spending his time pining over Harriett. 'He's always had an eye for the ladies, so it was no surprise that Lauren caught his attention.' Mail Online has reached out to Ronnie's rep for comment. Ronnie and Harriet have deleted all traces of each other from social media following their shock split. They met on Love Island last summer but struggled to make their relationship work outside of the villa. It wasn't until Harriett surprised Ronnie as a bombshell arrival on All Stars in January that the couple reconnected, hoping to commit to each other for the long term. But after fiery rows in Ibiza, they have called it quits, just months after failing to make the All Stars final. A source told MailOnline: 'It's true that Ronnie and Harriett have ended their romance, they have tried to make it work but the arguments between them made it difficult.' An insider added: 'There has been a lot of love between Ronnie and Harriett, but they have always been a fiery couple and in the end, they struggled to see eye to eye. 'On Wednesday night, they flew back from a trip to Ibiza and decided they are better off not together and right now, they're not even prepared to be friends. 'They have unfollowed each other on Instagram, which isn't the first time, but the feeling is it's over now for good.' Ronnie, who's close friends with former Love Island star Olivia Attwood and her husband Bradley Dack, met dancer Harriett on the ITV2 series last summer. But the pair's romance was short-lived after Ronnie strayed, leaving Harriett devastated.

Bottoms up! Dreary weather no match for Epsom's winning women on Ladies Day as racegoers celebrate their winnings in style
Glamorous racegoers descended on Surrey for Epsom Ladies' Day - and they certainly didn't disappoint. Donning an entire rainbow of bright colours, revellers braced a wet start and light rain for the opening day of two-day festival, which includes the Coronation Day and the Oaks. As the races began and the sun came out, revellers wasted no time in getting the booze out - and getting the party started by popping champagne and sipping on pints. The ensembles on display at Epsom Downs Racecourse for the Derby Festival were as daring as ever, with low-scooped corset style tops on display alongside daring thigh splits. Others dressed for the occasion with bright and vibrant fascinators, oozing glitz in a bid to be crowned best dressed. Friday's events commenced at 1.30pm, with the Betfred Oaks at 4pm. The final sprint took place just after 5pm - with Marvin Humes providing DJ entertainment for revellers for the rest of the evening. Ladies Day features the third Classic race of the season, The Betfred Oaks. This highly-anticipated race day is also a chance for racegoers to showcase their style, with colourful dresses, wide-brimmed hats and fancy fascinators. The website calls Ladies' Day 'a spectacular, gleeful celebratory day where people come together to join in racing's most spectacular carnival'. While all eyes are on the runners and riders of the day, the competition also provides the opportunity for the ladies attending to fight it out for who is best dressed on the other side of the fence. Epsom organisers describe the Derby, due to take place at 3.30pm tomorrow, as the 'world's greatest flat race'. With an incredible prize pot of £1.5million, the race lasts one-and-a-half miles. The owner normally receives about 75 per cent of a race's prize money, while the remaining 25 per cent is generally split between the trainer (10 per cent), the jockey (10 per cent) and then the final 5 per cent to stable staff and racing charities. However, the Derby has been issued with a yellow weather warning, with the Met Office predicting thunderstorms and hail could hit the track. Racegoers show the anticipation on their faces as the race gets underway For the past two years, the winning jockey was Ryan Moore for trainer Aidan O'Brien - however horses can only win it once. In the past, the event has been attended by a flurry of royals, including the likes of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles, and Queen Camilla in attendance. Held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, the Derby was first run in 1780. It is Britain's richest flat horse race, and the most prestigious of the five Classics - the other four of which are the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, the 1,000 Guineas Stakes, the Epsom Oaks, and the St Leger Stakes. Last year, King Charles attended Ladies' Day to watch the Betfred Oaks, and his horse Treasure, bred by the late Queen, finish in 11th place. Others opted for a more traditional style, creating a bright display Donning an entire rainbow of bright colours, revellers braced a wet start and light rain for the opening day of the weekend The hats were as vibrant as ever, as one racegoer opted for bright shades of pink A pair of glamorous friends arrived in bright spirits as the day commenced No rain on my parade! One racegoer opted for a bright yellow ensemble with sparkling silver shoes Temperatures today at Epsom are set to remain around 15 degrees, but revellers should start to see some sun when the races kick off this afternoon Friday's events are set to commence at 1.30pm, with the Betfred Oaks at 4pm However, others chose to play it safe with the weather, adding a stylish blazer Newlywed Georgia Toffolo was dressed to the nines in a brown spotty blouse and elegant white skirt Among the celebrity arrivals were Gabby and Kenny Logan Revellers changed into their finery, carrying flat shoes for the partying ahead Racegoers caught the giggles as they posed for photographs Ladies Day features the third Classic race of the season, The Betfred Oaks Attendees glammed up with Gucci accessorises and gold jewellery Harry Redknapp during Ladies Day of the Betfred Derby Festival at Epsom Downs Racecourse Though the rain appeared to have eased off, racegoers still held onto their hats amid the wind By contrast, Cheltenham Racing Festival, which takes place in March, has taken the decision to rename 'Ladies' Day' as 'Style Wednesday' to encourage both men and women to take part in the fashion competition. The Jockey Club, which runs 15 courses across the UK, also ditched the Best Dressed competition. Instead, the day now includes the Slow Fashion awards, open to both men and women, which 'celebrates vintage and borrowed items, as well as investment pieces'. A spokesperson for Cheltenham Racecourse said last year: 'This year we re-launched day two of The Festival as Style Wednesday to celebrate "fast horses, slow fashion", encouraging racegoers to make more sustainable fashion choices, showcasing their unique and personal style, and to share the stories behind their amazing outfits with friends, family and on social media. 'This includes re-wearing outfits they already have in their wardrobes, purchasing timeless garments to wear again and again and also buying from retailers specialising in pre-loved clothing.'
