Shakira opened up to her family about her self-professed inexplicable feelings towards Harry.
'I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't," she tells her mum and sister.
Her mum Sukina replies: 'What I will say, with him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me.'
Love Island fans also watched as Harry walked over to the Firepit ready to say hello and Shakira's mum refused to stand up.
'We're not hugging Harry,' Sukina tells him definitively.
But it appears she's warmed to him since leaving the villa, as she shared her experience in a TikTok video.
Shakira's mum Sukina said: 'It's becoming apparent that there are genuine feelings there.
'I do think that Harry is a different person with Shakira, always. It's not that he gets boring or quietens down - because I'm pretty sure they have a laugh together.
'But he does bring out a deeper and more intense side of him. I do empathise with Helena. You didn't see it but I did speak to Helena and I did express that I hope she's ok.

'We'll just see, let's watch this space.'
Sukina also defended her decision not to hug Harry when meeting him.
During her time on the show, she slammed Harry for the way he ended things with Helena: 'I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I'm sorry, but we thought it was 'undeniable' Harry.'
The Meet the Family segment sees Islanders reunited with their family members and friends inside the villa, and has long been a staple of the series.
It often delivers emotional reunions and candid chats, with some families raising concerns or giving their blessing to the couples ahead of the show's conclusion.

Love Island hunk slammed by model ex as ‘serial sh****r' after claims he was dating TWELVE girls before entering villa
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROGUE Love Island hunk Harry Cooksley has been labelled a 'serial sh**ger' by an ex who claims he was involved with TWELVE girls in the run-up to the show. The gold dealer and semi-pro footballer, 30, had the quickest Hideaway sleepover ever after he spent the night with air hostess Helena Ford just 56 hours into the ITV2 series — even though they were not coupled up. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Harry Cooksley has been labelled a 'serial sh**ger' by an ex who claims he was involved with TWELVE girls in the run-up to the show 4 Blonde bombshell Helena shares a kiss with Harry Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Ahead of Monday night's final, in which Harry is set to feature, one stunning ex told The Sun on Sunday she was 'not shocked' by his daring move. The woman, who did not want to be named, added that she has been contacted by 'about 12 women' over social media who, like her, thought they were in a relationship with Harry at different times over the past year. She also revealed that his most recent former flame, Emma Munro — who sensationally joined the villa as a bombshell four weeks into the series — still has her clothes in his wardrobe at home despite their break-up and him bringing other girls back there. 'Badly treated' The ex, a model in her 20s, said: 'I am actually distraught about it all. I have been really struggling to get through this. 'I thought we were serious and now I cannot get over how much he can do this to girls and get away with it. He is a serial sh**ger and the way he has treated me and others is disgusting The ex 'The amount of women he has hurt is unbelievable. 'We have all linked up over social media and there are just more and more coming forward to say how badly they've been treated. 'A few of us were led to believe we were in exclusive relationships with him. 'Others he was just dating or hooking up with casually. It's disgusting.' She added: 'I am really worried about the women currently on the show. Love Island star Harry's shock comment to Shakira revealed - just hours after going exclusive with Helena 'He is a serial sh**ger and the way he has treated me and others is disgusting. 'I just really hope he doesn't get the platform to be on Love Island until the final. 'He doesn't deserve it.' When it was revealed in June that Harry was going to be in the villa, some women took to social media to express their shock. One, Emilia Clark, said: 'He liked me on [dating app] Hinge two weeks ago.' Another with the name fitbritbill said: 'Harry took my sister-in-law out for a date about eight weeks ago and couldn't pay for it. 'Let's hope they don't charge for drinks in the villa — haha.' One more, under the name Lcy_brooks, wrote: 'Do we know who has access to Harry's online banking so he can pay my friend back for the drinks he owes her from their date.' 'Daisyflolamb' added: 'That's funny because he was also exclusively dating my friend for the past seven months. Someone give Harry a calculator cos the math ain't mathing???' Another alleged he had split with their pal days before Love Island started, claiming it was because he was going to Bali. They said: 'Don't forget they broke up on Wednesday & he told her he was going to BALI.' One of Emma Munro's friends claimed that her clothes are still hanging in the wardrobe at his home. They said: 'Her whole side of the wardrobe is still full, yet he has girls in her bed.' 4 Harry turns his affections on banking exec Yasmin Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 4 Footie star locks lips with his ex Emma in a surprise villa twist Credit: Shutterstock Editorial She also flagged this to the ex-girlfriend, who told us. Meanwhile, on the show, viewers first saw Harry get close to model Shakira Khan, 22, as they cuddled and kissed on camera. But then, within 24 hours, he disappeared into the Hideaway with blonde air hostess Helena, 29. The Hideaway lets couples share a bed, with no one else in the same room, unlike in the rest of the villa. Afterwards, the pair insisted they had shared just a 'PG kiss' and a cuddle. Even then, Harry was still telling others that he felt something for Shakira and that he thought she had 'more substance' than Helena, who he had just coupled up with. He also flirted heavily with the villa's new arrival, Angel Swift, telling her: 'I'm very attracted to you.' Eventually, all the girls turned on Harry, accusing him of messing with Helena's feelings after he dumped her. But he did not appear put off as this week he re-coupled with Shakira. And the pair have now been shown sharing a bed, kissing and cuddling together. On Tuesday's show, Harry apologised to Helena's parents on the segment where contestants' families are briefly brought into the villa to see their loved ones. Can that be seen as progress? It might be the best we can hope for.

The stunning star then went onto introduce her friend to her Instagram followers. She said: Sorry I haven't introduced you to everyone yet. This is Cydney she is from Baghdad." The pair giggled and Maya added: "She's from West London." With only days to go until the Love Island final, the cast returned to the villa for the Islander Jury and sent another couple pair packing. In scenes that will air on Sunday night, former cast members made their epic return to make the huge decision. Former Islanders including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and smitten couple Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, voted for the couple they wanted to boot. Maya Jama looks incredible in sexiest Love Island outfit yet as she returns to villa for 'horrifying' dumping While The Sun can't reveal their identities at this crucial stage of the ITV2 dating show, we can share that Islanders made their decisions having watched back footage and been shocked by what they saw. A source said: 'This couple have been a big part of this series so this is a shocking moment. 'But having watched it back, ex- Islanders have become privy to action they weren't fully aware of and it left them more than questioning the integrity of this connection. 'The couple were sent packing on Friday afternoon and the scenes will air on Sunday.' It comes after the Islanders were enjoying their final dates on Friday night and an unexpected text changed the villa's loving atmosphere. Toni received the text which read: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. "The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island tonight is Connor and Megan." Fans were quick to comment on social media and one wrote: "The producers are playing games because there's no way people voted Megan and Connor out instead of Meg and manipulative Dejon. I'm absolutely flabbergasted." Another added: "Bro they had me sitting on edge of my seat with that music, waiting to celebrate that Dejon and Meg got voted off…..just for it to be Megan and Connor." It comes following Thursday's brutal double dumping which saw Helena Ford and Blu Chegini booted out of the villa. 5 Maya shows off her incredible body in a white plunging bikini Credit: instagram/@mayajama
