Love Island fans say they have 'no shame' amid Harry's 'game plan' as he makes savage switch
Love Island fans were quick to point out the "game plan" of Harry Cooksley after yet more drama involving the 30 year old. Despite being coupled up with Helena, Harry has continuously shared cheeky and flirtatious chat with other girls in the villa.
And his ways have caused former partner Shakira's head to be turned despite being in a pair with Conor. And following Friday night's dramatic antics, fans are certain they know what Harry is up to as a dramatic recoupling took place on tonight's show.
There were tears for Harry as he spoke to Helena who promised she could not be friends with him in the villa or on the outside. And he was backed by the boys as he sulked. However, the recoupling led fans to have the same thoughts. With just Helena and Shakira left standing waiting to be picked, Harry said he had "disappointed myself" before saying he knows he's not perfect.
He said he had "chose to ignore" the feelings he had for her as he told Shakira he was either leaving the villa alone or with her. He made his decision, with Shakira hugging him and leaving Helena left standing alone, much to the disappointment of other islanders.
After Blu was left to pick Helena, she took his words on board before getting up and quickly walking away from the fire pit. And taking to social media, fans of the show made their feelings known.
One user on Twitter /X said: "Harry knows Shakira is most popular with public his game plan working to a tee."
And it was shown in other comments by viewers. "IF THERE IS A VOTE IM VOTING HARRY AND SHAKIRA WITH NO SHAME #LoveIsland," admitted one user. Another added: "Just watch! People will vote for Harry and Shakira," while a third said: "Yessss Harry beautiful speech, you're back in the game. Team Harry and Shakira"
On Friday's edition, he was finally exposed to the villa for his actions that had caused drama between the girls for weeks - leading to a split. He had played Shakira and Helena against each other time and time again, and sat back as Helena and Shakira took the triangle drama out on each other. His exclusive pairing with Helena had left Shakira devastated after feeling isolated in recent weeks.
However, just a day after moving their relationship on, Harry was hinting to Dejon how he still liked Shakira. He also hinted he wasn't that into Helena, before appearing to try and pick a fight with her at the Grafties.
The awkward scenes playing out in front of the camera saw Helena end things for good. His comments about "loving" his ex Emma and him flirting with others, not to mention his chats with Shakira, all played on the awards ceremony in the vila. And the footballer also made a comment about having a better experience with Shakira than Helena.
Helena ended up calling Harry "a f*****g joke". She then told him: "Shakira doesn't want you, I don't want you." With that the other Islanders smirked as Helena appeared to end things.

Maya Jama debuts chic new hairdo and wows in a tiny miniskirt on Love Island's Aftersun
Maya Jama debuted a new look on Sunday's episode of Love Island: Aftersun as she sported a shorter hairstyle. The presenter, 30, looked incredible with shoulder length hair while she put her figure on display in a figure-hugging pink suit. She showcased her long legs and tiny waist in the co-ord that flattered her incredible physique. Maya finished off the look with a pair of white, open-toed high heels. Taking to Instagram to promote the show, Maya shared a very cheeky video referencing her new look, calling her self a 'Bobby b***h'. Speaking in American accent, Maya filmed herself saying: 'OK, bobby b***h is ready to host the show. Make sure you tune in....' she then stumbled on her words before adding: 'I'm a clueless c*** today'. First hosted by the late Caroline Flack, Love Island's Aftersun is a popular addition to the reality dating show that takes a look at the week's events in the villa, often featuring interviews with departed islanders. Maya's show comes amid fears that the TV personality could be ready to say farewell to the ITV dating show as her career reaches new heights elsewhere. She got the biggest gig of her career to date when she was announced as the new presenter of Love Island in October 2022. Maya took over from Laura Whitmore, who presented for three seasons, and has been fronting the ITV2 show ever since. But her career has only been going from strength to strength in the years since with a booming beauty business and a rumoured role in a Netflix show. The current series of the show saw its lowest launch viewing figures since 2016 with just 1.4million tuning in. Meanwhile, Maya has no shortage of offers for other projects to keep herself busy. Although she is known as a TV presenter, Maya's first career goal was to become an actress. She auditioned for roles in her teens and even made it to the final round for a part in E4 teen drama Skins. When she didn't get the part, she focused on presenting instead, but it appears her acting ambitions have recently been reignited. The star has reportedly 'landed a sizzling new role' in the second series of Guy Ritchie's gangster drama The Gentlemen. She will reportedly play the glamorous wife of a shady associate linked to Theo James' lead character Eddie Horniman. Back in January, the BBC Three Glow Up presenter revealed she had been auditioning behind the scenes for a 'dream role' and hinted she wanted to play something completely different from her bubbly TV persona. She said: 'My dream role, I would want to be like a villain or something that's completely not like me, so then it shows that I can actually act. 'And then people would be like, wow, two different people.'

Simon Cowell 'has never been more angry' after treatment on Celebrity SAS
Simon Cowell was left less than impressed after he was hung up on while trying to give Lucy Spraggan words of encouragement during her stint on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Last week former X Factor star Lucy, 34, was officially revealed as one of the famous faces who'd signed up to be put through their paces and undergo a course replicating the UK Special Forces selection course. Since the show began in 2015, there has also been six celebrity spin-off series', with the line-up of the upcoming season also including Love Island's Tasha Ghouri, The Traitors' Harry Clark, S Club's Hannah Spearritt and former glamour model Rebecca Loos. Speaking ahead of the premiere Lucy said she was determined to 'make it all the way to the end'. However, she's also detailed how X Factor creator Simon Cowell, who walked her down the aisle during her wedding last year, was left fuming while playing a role on the show. Despite Simon not being a recruit, he appears in the show when he calls Lucy to try and help motivate her. 'The DS [directing staff] hung up on him and he was like, 'I've never been so angry',' she shared when speaking to The Sun. In the interview Lucy also said the 65-year-old considered appearing on the show himself, but she was worried he'd 'die'. 'He thought it was a great idea, me doing the show. He knows I love being outdoors. We do a lot of shooting air rifles and stuff together, so he knows this is my thing, testing my mental resilience,' she said. 'It was just funny because he had said, 'Oh, maybe I'll try and have a go at it'. 'I was like, 'Simon, you would literally die!'. It was funny because it really contextualised how hard it was that I just straight away said to him, 'You would have no chance'.' However, Lucy said she thinks his wife Lauren Silverman, 48, could do it and 'should have a go'. Last year Simon spoke about his relationship with Lucy, saying that it 'feels like we've been friends for life'. Meanwhile Lucy said that 'everything people get from their fathers, I get from Simon', also calling Simon and his Lauren a 'constant support'. Speaking about appearing on Celebrity SAS, Lucy has said she hopes she 'has the mental grit to get to the end of the course'. 'I have been through quite a lot in my life, and I've done a lot of work to navigate what that left behind, and I really hope that I can apply it to the course, and make it all the way to the end,' she continued. More Trending 'I've always wanted to do this course, and what I love about this course is the sheer pressure it puts on a human being, that you will just not get anywhere else in life. And I've had pressure, I've had so many forms of pressure, nothing like this, so I really just genuinely want to see how far my brain can go.' The other stars appearing on this season include RuPaul's Drag Race UK season two star Bimini, Love Island's Chloe Burrows and Adam Collard, and rapper Lady Leshurr. They will also be joined by footballer Troy Deeney, dancer-and-choreographer Louie Spence, author Michaella McCollum, and former footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa.
