I warned my mum that I'm up for romping on TV – I'll go all the way if it feels right, says Love Island's Harry
LOVE Island's Harry Cooksley warned his MUM about watching him romp on TV.
The footballer, 29, admitted he's up for going all the way in the villa - if he finds the right girl.

He is mindful his mother will be avidly watching the show, but says he gave her the heads up.
Speaking ahead of Monday's launch show, Harry said: "Listen, it's not out of the question [that I'll have sex on TV].
"If it feels right then I will - and I have briefed my mum as well.
"So yeah, if it feels right and it's the right time I'm definitely open to it."
Happy-go-lucky Harry was accused of dumping his girlfriend to be on the show.
A stunning woman, who The Sun chose not to name, claimed that Harry was a 'liar' who had told her he was flying out to Bali, not to the villa in Mallorca.
Harry insisted they weren't in a relationship, saying: "I've been dating for the last year, I've dated people leading up to the show, but nothing serious.
"I mean it wasn't like a 'dumping', we dated. I told her I was going away for the summer and we left it there."
'Dumping' makes it sound "terrible", he said, adding: "I definitely haven't dumped anyone.
"I think that is the reputation of footballers, but that's not who I am.
"I've got a mullet and I'm 30. I'm ready for something."
He's now focused on finding a connection in the villa, but won't stand for being in any love triangles.
He said: "If someone can take my girl from me then she was never my girl."
Harry refuses to play games in the villa, insisting he wants to find something serious - and could even end up leaving with a girlfriend.
He said: "I like to think I play it cool with women and I'm kind of relaxed, but it's so heightened in there, where you spend so much time together and when I fall for someone I fall hard and I fall fast."

Daisy May Cooper surprises fans as BBC comedy star reveals her ‘real name' in throwback snap
THIS Country actress Daisy May Cooper has surprised fans after revealing her "real name" in a throwback snap. The comedy star has always been known by the surname Cooper since her rise to stardom but in a throwback Instagram post, she has revealed that she isn't actually legally Cooper. 6 6 Instead, Daisy May's surname is Weston. This is the surname of her ex-husband, Will Weston, whom she wed in 2019. Despite the pair splitting in 2021, she appears to have legally retained his last name. The throwback snap in question was about the day that Daisy gave birth to her third child last year with new partner, Anthony Huggins. The snap was of Daisy's hospital visit to give birth to her son Benji in which her full name - Daisy May Weston - could be seen written on the board behind her. The Sun exclusively revealed earlier this year that Daisy and Anthony were secretly engaged. Despite retaining her ex-hubby's last name, it seems that Daisy is ready to move on and acquire a new one. The couple first met on dating app Hinge. A source said in February of this year: "Daisy and Anthony are madly in love with each other and are a success story for dating apps. "Their relationship has gone from strength to strength and already have a baby boy together. Emotional Daisy May Cooper breaks down in floods of tears live on Loose Women "It felt the natural step for them both, and their friends and family are made up for them." Best BBC comedies A BBC boss called on the industry to "save our sitcoms", but the corporation has a history of fantastic shows. We look back at some of the best to ever grace the screen. Fawlty Towers (1975-1979) - Only two series were made of the beloved institution. However, the cultural impact of the series starring John Cleese and Connie Booth spans decades. It follows rude and intolerant Basil Fawlty (Cleese) as he attempts to improve the reputation of his hotel. Only Fools and Horses (1981-2003) - The show was crowned by some as the best British sitcom of all time by a TV poll in 2004. Seven series were broadcast on BBC until 1991 with additional sporadic Christmas specials airing until 2003. Sir David Jason starred as ambitious market trader Derek "Del Boy" Trotter whilst Nicholas Lyndhurst played his younger half-brother Rodney. Set in working-class Peckham in south-east London, it follows the highs and lows of the lives of the Trotters', in particular their brazen attempts to get rich. Blackadder (1983 - 1989) - Four series were made of the iconic show, created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson. Each series spans a different historical period as anti-hero Edmund Blackadder (Atkinson) tries to better himself in each society. Accompanied by his dogsbody Baldrick (Tony Robinson), trouble always ensues. A TV poll in 2004 found that Blackadder was voted the second-best British sitcom of all time Absolutely Fabulous (1992 - 2012) - Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley star as failing PR guru Edina 'Eddie' Monsoon and alcoholic fashionista Patsy Stone. The pair embark on heavy-drinking sessions and abuse drugs in a desperate attempt to stay 'hip'. Eddie constantly chases bizarre fads and fails to lose weight whilst her disappointed and neglected daughter Saffy (Julia Sawalha) looks on. Little Britain (2003 - 2006) - The premise is simple. A sketch show which features different British people from all walks of life that are engaged in all sorts of comical scenarios. Starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the pair created iconic pop culture characters. Viewers loved obnoxious council estate teenager Vicky Pollard, morbidly obese scrounger Bubbles Devere, slimming coach Marjorie Dawes, despondent office worker Carol Beer, disgraced politician Sir Norman Fry, of course the iconic Lou and Andy! The Catherine Tate Show (2004-2015) - A sketch show starring the likes of Catherine Tate. She made iconic characters such as rowdy schoolgirl Lauren Cooper with her line 'Am I bovvered?'. Other characters featured Bernie the nurse, the aga saga woman, complaining couple Janice and Ray, and of course her infamous 'Nan', Joannie Taylor. The last character herself spawned multiple specials and even a movie. Gavin and Stacey (2007 - Present) The series tells the story of Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page). The pair embarked on an online and telephone romance for six months. But when they finally decide to be together properly, their friends and family get in the way. Ruth Jones and James Corden created the beloved show, which has been going for over a decade. The 2019 Christmas special was the most-watched comedy in 17 years and the most-viewed non-sporting event in a decade. 6 6 6

Jude Bellingham's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro and his mum spotted in the stands at England match - one week after influencer's social media return
Jude Bellingham 's girlfriend Ashlyn Castro sat shoulder to shoulder with his mother Denise on Saturday. The pair watched on as the Real Madrid star put in a 90-minute shift during England's 1-0 win against Andorra, which extended Thomas Tuchel 's 100 per cent record at the helm. Harry Kane found the breakthrough five minutes into the second half, after a chance from just yards away was put on a plate for him by Noni Madueke - the nation's all-time top-goalscorer could not miss. At recent matches, fans suggested that there may be tension between Castro, 27, and Denise, 57. But at their latest outing, all seemed well between the two as they stood next to each other as they cheered on Bellingham, 21. With the temperature in the mid 20s in sun-soaked Catalonia, Castro wore a waist-snatching red dress, while Denise sported a white zip-up top and black athletic trousers with white stripes. When Castro accompanied Denise to watch a match in March, many fans picked up on what they thought was a frosty interaction. As the TV cameras panned to the high-end area where Denise was watching the game, a screengrab that circulated on social media appeared to show her giving a side-eye to Castro. A side-eye glance is usually interpreted as expressing disapproval or contempt towards somebody and fans were quick to react to the moment. However, it has since been revealed that the screengrab took their interaction out of context. The start of Castro's relationship with Bellingham was marred by claims about her past along with an escort site hoax. This led to her taking a four-month break from social media, only returning last week, with Bellingham quick to react to her post. She was previously linked with Hollywood actor Michael B Jordan and NBA stars LaMelo Ball and Terance Mann, while a viral video also claimed that Castro had dated Lewis Hamilton and Jamie Foxx after making tenuous links between social media activity. And, in an emotional monologue on TikTok of more than 10 minutes, Castro, who has more than 600,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, put to bed several false rumours. 'I don't even know where to begin, but I'm going to try my best to just get into it,' she said in a video that was titled 'The hardest part is not speaking the truth, but finding the courage to do it'. She went onto debunk several claims made about her, including allegations of being unfaithful. 'It makes me super uncomfortable talking on camera about my personal life,' Castro added. 'I've never even really spoken on camera too many times, so bear with me. 'Every angle you can think of, people have attacked me, harassed me, been so disrespectful. It's just been too much. 'Let's talk about this dating history. I've had three boyfriends over the last eight years. In 2017, I was in my very first relationship and he's a public figure, so because of that, I've dealt with people talking about me, making up things about me. 'There was nothing on the internet about me prior, so people kind of just made up a bunch of things to justify hating me because of who I was dating at the time. 'And then over the last six years after that, I've dated two people. So three relationships in total.'

Clarke Carlisle wins £100k on The 1% Club for Soccer Aid
They were put to the test in the quiz where 'the questions have nothing to do with remembering facts, but are all about logic and common sense', explains the Radio Times. The aim of the game was to make it to the end, answering the 1% question correctly to take home up to £100,000 for charity and they were successful. Celebrities and sports stars win £100k for UNICEF on The 1% Club At the very end of the show, only two celebrities remained with a chance at making the overall donation total £100,000. Unlike regular versions of the show, the celebrities were working together rather than against each other like members of the public would. While comedian Lloyd Griffith got the final question incorrect, former footballer Clarke Carlisle answered it correctly and won the prize money. Carlisle has also previously been named Britain's Brainiest Footballer. The prize fund included £1,000 from celebrities who were out of the show, having answered a question incorrectly. Former Leeds United defender Clarke Carlisle (once crowned Britain's Brainiest Footballer) has won £100k for UNICEF by absolutely smashing the 1% Club without even using a PASS. Leeds That 🍾👌👏🔥💪 #footballnews #champions #marchingontogether #championship #footballlife — All Leeds Away (@allleedsaway) June 7, 2025 How does The 1% Club work? ITV said: 'Find out how clever you are as Lee Mack presents the quiz where it doesn't matter how good you are at quizzes and where 100 contestants could win up to 100,000 pounds.' As pointed out by the Radio Times, the show isn't about knowing facts, it's about using your brain to answer the questions. Pub quiz tips Each player gets one pass which they can use to help them skip a question but once they have used it, an incorrect answer takes them out of the game. If they make it to the 1% question, they are asked to go down to the stage for the final question where they see if they are winners. Recommended reading: Who was on The 1% Club for Soccer Aid?
