Bombshell Blu was brought back into the long running ITV2 dating show for a second chance at finding love and as he opted to get close to Helena, he was one of many people to call Harry out for his behaviour towards her.
Despite becoming exclusive, Harry then revealed he still had feelings for Shakira, prompting a devastated Helena to end their relationship,
Everyone from Love Island fans to domestic violence charity, Women's Aid, have slammed Harry's behaviour in the villa.
But on Sunday night, it was Blu's turn to have a dig at Harry during his recoupling speech.
"I think she's stunning, she's got a great personality, and she can laugh at pretty much anything," Blu began while describing Helena.
"She's had a very hard time in here and I don't think anyone's emotion should be played with, I don't think any girl's feelings should be played with."
Blu continued: "And I want her to know that not all men are the same, and even if it's by making her smile and laugh, then I'm all for it."
The speech was a winner in the villa and he ended up with Helena, but Love Island viewers had a cynical take on Blu's words, accusing him of manufacturing the speech in order to get attention.
"Please can you get rid of irrelevant Blu from the villa. he's so desperate for screen time," wrote one person on the Love Island Instagram page.
"Why is Blu so opinionated? He lived in the villa for about 5 minutes? think he's realised hes gotta go back to his 9-5 outside the villa, so he's trying to get some screen time HELLLLP," wrote another person on X, formerly Twitter.
"Blu might be the most cringy person i've ever seen on Love Island and that's saying a lot," added another.
Blu's dramatic speech and recoupling come after he got pied twice upon his return to the villa.

Paddy McGuinness can't flog £6.5m mansion he shares with ‘unhappy' ex wife Christine who wants to move out
TELLY star Paddy McGuinness and his ex-wife Christine are struggling to flog the £6.5million home they share. The comic, 51 — known for catchphrase 'No likey, no lighty!' on dating show Take Me Out — has had 'very little interest' in the mansion. 2 He and Christine, 37, still live in the seven-bedroom Cheshire spread — now on the market for 4½ months — with their twins Leo and Penelope, 12, and eight-year-old daughter Felicity. It featured on their 2021 BBC show Paddy And Christine McGuinness: Our Family And Autism. Despite remaining in the house together to co- parent, Christine is reportedly unhappy with the current living situation and wants to move out. She and Paddy paid £2.1million for the home in 2020 and it has a gym, his and hers dressing-rooms, an orangery and planning permission for a rear extension and roof terrace. They stand to make a big profit but sources say it's quite a pricey house even for posh Prestbury in east Cheshire. One said: 'It's a lovely house with all mod cons in a fantastic location but there's been very little interest. 'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.' Paddy and Christine announced their split in 2022 and finalised their divorce last year. Christine has said: 'We live in separate parts of the house.' Paddy said the family's living arrangement 'doesn't feel tricky'.

'Astonishingly rare' The Hobbit book sells for 'record-breaking' sum
An "astonishingly rare" first edition of The Hobbit has sold for a "record-breaking" £43,000 at copy of JRR Tolkien's novel is one of only 1,500 copies that were printed in 1937. It was discovered without a dustcover on a bookcase during a home clearance in was sold to a private collector in the UK through an online auction at Auctioneum in Bath, Somerset, Riley, the book specialist from the auction house, said: "It's the quintessential auction story. Everyone dreams of finding a rare item hidden in plain sight, and here we are." The book, which was only expected to fetch between £10,000-£12,000 at auction, attracted hundreds of bidders from all over the Riley said the book is in "absolutely beautiful condition" and she believed it sold for a record price for a first edition without a dustcover."House clearances can be tricky, stressful and troublesome... this could have so easily been sent to landfill, or disposed of by someone who didn't realise it was there," she added. The book came from the family library of Hubert Priestley who was a famous botanist in the 1930s and brother to the Antarctic explorer and geologist, Sir Raymond Edward Priestley. Priestley had strong connections to the University of Oxford where Tolkien stood as Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon and a Fellow of Pembroke men knew fellow author C.S. Lewis and it is likely that they knew each other."It's the connection to Tolkien and the important provenance that makes this book so special. It's not just any first edition; it belonged to someone who very likely called Tolkien an acquaintance," Ms Riley added it was astonishingly rare to find a first edition in such good condition. "Being a children's book, most of them have seen children's hands, children's colouring pens in some cases, so to have one that appears to be completely unread and never enjoyed is really, really astonishingly rare," she said. The Hobbit is one of the most successful children's novels, with more than 100 million copies story is set in the fantasy world Middle-earth and follows the hobbit Bilbo Baggins on a quest to find rare edition that was sold also includes rare drawings by Tolkien himself.

Oasis fan who fell to his death at Wembley ‘slipped on beer'
An Oasis fan who fell to his death at the one of the band's Wembley gigs may have slipped on spilt beer, his father has claimed. Lee Claydon, 45, fell from the upper tier of the stadium on Saturday, moments after the band had finished their gig. Paramedics tried to resuscitate him but he died at the scene. It is believed Mr Claydon, a landscape gardener from Bournemouth, may have fallen as concertgoers were beginning to leave the stadium. Clive Claydon, his father, told The Sun his son was 'super excited' to be attending the Oasis reunion tour, having bought tickets a year ago. Mr Claydon snr, who was not at the concert, said he had been told his son's death was an 'accident waiting to happen'. He added: 'There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell. 'I've been told that it was an accident waiting to happen. It was a horrible, horrible accident. 'All I really know is there was beer everywhere, he slipped, and we don't know the rest of it. 'I wasn't there so I don't know what happened, but it will all come out. I am so devastated. 'I can't understand how it happened, I've never been to Wembley, but you would expect the health and safety to be good. 'He has never taken drugs in his life and he may have had a beer. Who doesn't at a concert? But he certainly was not drunk. 'I want answers from Wembley about how it could have happened.' The Metropolitan Police have appealed for witnesses to contact them if they have any information or footage of the incident. A spokesman said: 'At around 22.19 on Saturday Aug 2, officers on duty at Wembley Stadium for the Oasis concert responded alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service to reports that a person had been injured. 'A man - aged in his 40s - was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. 'The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or many knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage.' A Wembley Stadium spokesman said: 'Wembley Stadium medics, the London Ambulance Service and the police attended to a concert-goer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall. 'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers. 'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.'
