Love Island fans in disbelief over Harry's age - and his age gap with Shakira
Some Love Island viewers had no idea how old Harry Cooksley was and the truth surprised them, while his age gap with Shakira was also unexpected according to fans One Love Island star's age certainly got people talking given his antics on the show. Many fans said Islander Harry Cooksley "couldn't be" the age given, as he sparked "immature" drama with co-stars Shakira and Helena. From flirting behind backs, to being called a "player" and lying, Harry was called out by viewers and his co-stars. So when fans realised he was 30 years old, some fans didn't believe it. They suggested he seemed so much younger, as others also warned Shakira away given his "immature" antics, after realising their age gap. Shakira is 22, making her eight years younger than Harry. But it was Harry's actions, especially the lying after being caught out, that sparked the biggest reaction. Some fans simply didn't know his age though and on finding out, they shared their shock on social media. One fan said: "Harry's 30?????????" Another posted: "Harry is 30?! We are doomed," as a thirf wrote: "He can't be 30 my goodness." On his behaviour, one fan commented: "Harry is 30, I repeat 30, imagine moving like that at your big age, these guys aren't real LOOOL." A further post read: "Not Harry being 30 and acting like this," as another agreed: "Harry you're 30 pls act like it what is this." One fan said: "I forget Harry is 30 sometimes." As for the age gap, a viewer chimed in: "Big 30 year old man lying to a 22 year old. Crazy. "I've just deeped the age gap with Shakira and Harry," said another," while a final post read: "Harry needs to stay away from Shakira he's 30 and she's 22." It comes as viewers confessed they think they already know which former Love Island star is set to enter the famous second villa, Casa Amor. Sophie Lee was axed from the show on Tuesday night in a brutal dumping, after her partner Harry was stolen by Shakira. But some viewers are now convinced her time on the show isn't over. With a recent series seeing a dumped girl return to the villa for Casa Amor, viewers are now speculating Sophie will be back on the show in a matter of weeks, as a bombshell in the second villa. Taking to X, fans guessed the twist would happen with one fan writing: "I reckon Sophie will re-enter the villa as a bombshell by the end of next week at the latest or she will re-enter in Casa Amor." Another said: "Dw Sophie you'll be back in 4 weeks for Casa Amor." A third viewer begged: "Nah bring Sophie back for Casa Amor she deserves a chance." A fourth fan agreed: "Bring her back for casa amor!!" as a fifth viewer posted: "Gutted for her and bring back Sophie as a bombshell or Casa Amor." The comments kept on coming with one reading: "They better bring Sophie back as a Casa bombshell. Justice for Sophie." Another said: "BRING SOPHIE BACK FOR CASA AMOR!" It comes after Sophie was axed from the show in the latest episode. Despite not initially being at risk of an early exit, the motivational speaker and author was abruptly booted out of the villa after her man Harry was chosen by newly single Shakira.

Spoiler Alert: Race Across The World 2025 winners revealed and final episode spoilers ahead! Race Across the World 2025 reached its thrilling conclusion with mother and son, Caroline and Tom, becoming the first pair to reach the final checkpoint in Kanniyakumari and claim the £20,000 prize. After thousands of kilometres raced across China, Nepal, and India, the final leg was the closest all teams had been in 51 days. In a final dash to the finish, Caroline and Tom, the first ever mother and son pairing to win, were declared winners of the 14,100km race across the world's largest continent, Asia. Watch Race Across the World on BBC iPlayer and add to your Watchlist Watch Celebrity Race Across the World on BBC iPlayer and add to your Watchlist Sprinting to the finish line, sisters Elizabeth and Letitia, who have remained consistent throughout the race, came in second place, with just 19 minutes between them and the race winners. They were followed by teenage couple Fin and Sioned, while brothers Brian and Melvyn, came in fourth. It was a race to find a boat towards the fishing village of Arockiapuram and there, find the Vattakottai Fort where the last and final sign in book was waiting. As Caroline and Tom turned to the page to discover they had reached the final checkpoint in first place, they hugged, overcome with emotion. An emotional Caroline cried: 'We must never doubt ourselves again. Ever, ever, ever.' Writing their names in the book, Tom said: 'That's a really good feeling, I'm lost for words, I can't believe it. 51 days racing through countries I never thought I'd go to, I never thought we'd come this far, I never thought we'd achieve so much and I've never been prouder of my mum – she got me through it.' As sisters Elizabeth and Letitia turned the page to claim second place, Elizabeth said: 'Ah Tom and Caroline, so close, 19 minutes,' with Letitia adding: 'I'm proud of us'. Just 45 minutes behind the winners, Fin and Sioned arrived in third place. Fin said: 'We've done well.' He added: 'it would have been incredible to have come first, but obviously we can't all come first.. we've gone more than 12000km…' Sioned continued: 'it's been more than just the distance, it's been a journey for us.' Brian and Melvyn, who arrived in fourth place, only 3 hours and 5 minutes behind race winners, said: 'We've done very well actually. Really pleased for the guys that have won it. Beer? Desperately, and definitely!' The final episode saw Caroline and Tom begin the last leg in the lead, 6 hours and 54 minutes ahead of Elizabeth and Letitia. They started from the 7th checkpoint, Panaji in Goa with just over 1000km to traverse across the southern Indian states to reach the finish line at the southernmost tip of India in Kanniyakumari. Arriving into Kanniyakumari by taxi, Tom said how nervous he was, and worried more when he exclaimed: 'I've just seen Fin and Sioned, I promise you, I have, oh no'. Getting caught in a traffic jam, Caroline and Tom were visibly despondent. Receiving their first instructions to reach the tip of India, Caroline and Tom raced through huge crowds of people trying to watch the incredible sunrise but with little time to appreciate the stunning views: 'it's a nice sunrise, bit hard to focus on, but it's nice.' Hot on Caroline and Tom's heels, Elizabeth and Letitia received the next instructions to proceed on foot to the front of Our Lady of Ransom Shrine. Not hesitating to ask multiple people for help, the teams made their way and discovered they must then take a boat to Arockiapuram fishing village. Caroline and Tom secured a boat for 1000 rupees, stressing that they were in a race and the need for speed to their driver. Still worried about having seen Fin and Sioned, Tom said; 'I still can't see Fin and Sioned, I don't know if they can see us.' The teams received a message instructing them to head on foot to the Vattakottai Fort. Running through the winding streets, trying to find the beach, Tom said: 'it's so far out of the way'. On reaching the entrance to the Fort, Caroline and Tom ran in with Caroline asking 'Can you see anyone else, Thomas?' and Tom replying; 'I don't see anyone.' The pair reached the book and discovered they had won the race of a lifetime and a prize of £20,000. Over the eight-part series, the four pairs have raced over 14,000km over 51 days. The teams have successfully journeyed across the world's largest continent, Asia, taking in three of its most diverse and fascinating nations – China, Nepal and India. They've had to navigate crowds, congestion and cultural barriers, as well as a multitude of vast ranging landscapes on an epic journey from The Great Wall of China in northeastern China all the way to the southernmost tip of India – Kanniyakumari – all without smartphones, internet access and bank cards, and armed only with the cash equivalent of flying the route. Following the final episode of Race Across the World, the teams will return for a heart-warming reunion celebration on iPlayer and BBC One on Wednesday 18 June from 9pm. The teams will reflect on their race, including behind-the-scenes insights and unseen moments. This one-off special offers an in-depth and intimate look into how the travellers coped with the trials and tribulations of a life-affirming race, and the impact it's had on their lives and relationships. Race Across The World 2025 Winners Q&A How does it feel to have won Race Across the World? Caroline – It feels absolutely amazing, I'm so sad it's come to the end, that is the worst bit about it. We've enjoyed being with everybody but my God this race has meant so much. We've learnt so much we've enjoyed it and to actually win it as well as to have the experience is the best thing that could have happened to us. Tom – Doing the experience in itself is winning but to actually get to that book first and open it and to see that it was empty was something that I'll remember for the rest of my life. Can you sum the experience up in just a few words? Tom – Best experience of my life. Caroline – Incredible, amazing, valuable in so many ways and a lifetime achievement. Who did you tell first? Caroline – My husband. In the car on the way home, we couldn't hide it. Tom – We made a pact on the plane journey home not to tell anybody, but within 5 minutes of seeing him we let that one go! It was so hard to keep it in! What do you plan on doing with the money? Tom – I haven't really thought about what I'm doing with the money yet. I don't want to be stupid and waste it. Mum and I want to go backpacking again so some of it will be used for that. Caroline – Thomas is starting up a business and its been inspired by India and I'd like to help him with that. VHW
