Watch the VERY awkward moment Helena completely blanks Harry and Shakira in dramatic recoupling – did you spot it?
LOVE Island's Helena Ford completely blanked Harry Cooksley and Shakira Khan in tonight's dramatic recoupling.
In a very awkward moment from the latest installment, the cabin crew member, 29, crossed her arms and inched away from the pair after they cemented their couple status.

Shakira, 22, gushed over the footballer as she said: "He boils my blood. He's hilarious, witty, charming and funny. And he's not bad looking.
"So the boy I would like to couple up with is… Harry."
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans went wild after spotting the move.
One joked, "Not Helena moving away from harry," with a laughing emoji, while someone else said: "Helena moving away from Harry is just so…. #LoveIsland."
A third chimed in with: "Shakira picked harry wow the face on helena."
While a fourth pointed out: "how's helena upset that harry's moved on when she said they're done?"
Harry, 30, was previously seen sobbing as he appeared to backtrack on his behaviour towards Helena.
The ITV2 star caused shockwaves in the villa last week when he split with his day one partner - before he attempted to pursue a third different romantic connection in the compound just hours later.
Viewers previously begged Helena to stop being a "doormat" and dump Harry for good after he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin in the Hideaway.
His confession prompted the blonde beauty to storm off - before her villa pal Megan Forte Clarke, 24, unleashed a sweary rant.
Love Island's Harry reveals surprising encounter with A-list actress, boasting 'I think I had a chance'
In scenes aired on last night's Aftersun, Harry appeared to have huge regret on calling time on his connection with Helena.
A video shows him in tears as he sat with Dejon, who said if he could have it his way he would see the pair together.
Semi pro footballer Harry, with tears in his eyes, replied: "Yeah. Like, we just have nothing. Do you know what I mean?"
He then paused to dab his face and added: "Where it's just like, we were good and then it's just like she can't even be around me.
"Geez. It's just weird man.

"Like it'll never be the same now after the way I've acted, do you know what I mean?"
The official Love Island account on X posted the caption: "The consequences of Harry's antics hit home."
Yet many thought he was having a taste of his own medicine following his lothario conduct.
One fan was quick to write: "Crying as if all of this wasn't his own doing. Men lack accountability fr."
A second posted: "If it isn't the consequences of your own actions…."
A third noted: "He's realised he's exhausted all his options that man does not want to be with Helena," while one agreed and put: "And tomorrow he'll want Emily we can't predict his next move."
One then mused: "Some self reflection is always good."
SNEAKY SNOG
The final nail in the coffin for Helena and Harry came after his kiss with Yasmin.
Confident Yasmin initiated the smooch after Harry admitted he enjoyed their initial kiss in a villa challenge.
She told him bluntly: "I'm waiting for you to shut up and kiss me."
Harry duly obliged and went all in. He grabbed Yasmin by the throat and bit her lip as they gave in to desire.
Yasmin was just as handsy, leaving her mark on Harry by scratching his neck.
But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway.
That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night.
Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they'd kissed not once, but three times.

Kevin Spacey further fuels plastic surgery speculation as he makes red carpet appearance in Italy to receive outstanding achievement gong
Kevin Spacey made another appearance on the red carpet on Monday after sparking rumours he has had plastic surgery. The disgraced actor, 65, was pictured in Rimini, Italy as he attended the Italian Global Series Festival 2025 at Teatro Galli. Kevin wore a light pink suit with a red tie and light blue shirt for the summer weather as he walked the red carpet. The former House Of Cards star stopped to speak to fans and sign autographs before heading into the venue. His taught, plump face and almost wrinkleless forehead was on full display, adding to speculation he has gone under the knife for plastic surgery. During the ceremony, Kevin was presented with the Maximo Excellence Award, a gong designed to acknowledge 'outstanding achievements' in storytelling. Spacey was beaming as he spoke to the packed audience after receiving the accolade. It comes after Kevin sparked outrage for receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award just months after fresh sexual abuse allegations at the Better World Fund Gala Dinner in Cannes last month. He accepted the honor for Excellence in Film and Television, although the gala is not an official part of the annual French film festival. The last time Kevin stopped by the Cannes Film Festival was nearly 10 years earlier while promoting his 2016 movie The Awakening. When asked about a comeback to the industry, he told reporters: 'I'm glad to be working.' The Oscar winner garnered a Lifetime Achievement Award at Cannes for his 'impact on cinema in the arts.' Kevin was 'recognized not only for his decades of artistic brilliance but also his enduring impact on cinema and the arts,' according to a statement made by the fund. Just two years ago, the actor was cleared of sexual assault allegations against four men during a U.K. trial in 2023. Kevin wore a light pink suit with a red tie and light blue shirt for the summer weather as he walked the red carpet as he picked up an award However, earlier this year in February the star was hit with another sexual abuse claim by Ruari Cannon and also two organizations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London. Ruari is suing Mr Spacey at the High Court, as well as two organizations connected to the Old Vic Theatre in London. Dushal Mehta, of law firm Fieldfisher, confirmed that he had issued a claim on behalf of Mr Cannon, and also said that he had waived his anonymity in the claim. No details of the allegations involved are currently available. Spacey was previously acquitted in criminal proceedings of several sexual offences alleged by four men between 2001 and 2013. One of the men, who cannot be identified, has also sued Mr Spacey over his claims he was sexually assaulted by the actor and suffered 'psychiatric damage', which the actor denies. The actor has denied all allegations of inappropriate behavior and criminal wrongdoing.

Danny Dyer ‘never felt nerves' like it on daughter's wedding day
Love Island star Dani Dyer wed sportsman Bowen last month. Discussing the ceremony on their podcast, Live And Let Dyers, Dani said the day left her feeling so emotional she 'couldn't talk about it'. Her father, former EastEnders actor Dyer, said of the moment he walked her down the aisle: 'My heart was beating through my f***ing chest. 'I've done a lot of heavy s***. You know, I've done a lot of theatre and the awards things and everything like that, and there's a little bit of nerves, but I've never felt nerves like that. You know, just hanging on for dear life!' Dyer, who has recently been filming the second series of hit drama Rivals, said he felt 'choked up' at seeing the happy couple together. He went on: 'I needed just to contain myself. Because obviously it's a huge day for everyone in your family, but particularly the tradition of marriages – it's your father giving away your daughter, you know?' The pair also joked about how Bowen's nerves meant he got his bride's name mixed up during the vows. 'He f***ed your name up a few times,' Dyer told the podcast. 'Obviously it's Dani Charlotte Dyer, then he called me Charlotte, didn't he?' Dani added. 'We had to start it again! It was so funny!' Live And Let Dyers is available to listen to now on Global Player, or wherever you get your podcasts.
