Fans of the ITV2 star - who proved controversial for his antics during this year's series - were left convinced the semi pro footballer was "loaded" after he gave an initial glimpse at his family pad.
Harry, 30, posted a picture of him with Shakira and his family, he then uploaded another image of the huge swimming pool in the grounds, leading many to believe his family home was quite the pad.
But The Sun can now reveal that not all is at it seems, and the huge home actually belongs to his best pal, Harry Hugo.
Harry Hugo visited the star during the Meet The Family day in the villa, on this year's series.
Harry's pal has shared pictures of his impressive home on his Instagram over the years, from a Christmas dip in the pool to a housewarming in July 2021.
A source close to Harry, who chose not to be named, told The Sun: 'Harry Hugo is very well connected and rich and Harry spends a lot of time with him and was doing some trading for him before.
'Harry Hugo has been looking out for Harry C for a while, but Love Island's Harry is far from rich - unless Harry Hugo has him on some insane salary.'
Harry hasn't claimed the home is his, but after pictures and a video shared on social media since his return to the UK, fans have assumed it's his family home.
Since rising to fame on the hit dating show, speculation has also surrounded Harry's football salary, with fans believing the star is making £7k-a-week in his position as a midfielder for Farnham Town FC.
A football expert has shared his thoughts on the impressive figure, saying: 'It looks like the manager was joking when he said that figure.

'It's a semi pro club, down in the league system. It's unlikely they'd have a player earning anything close to 7k-a-week.'
The Sun has contacted Harry's representative for comment.
Previously on TikTok, Harry shared a video where he thanked fans for their support during his time on the show and with his romance with Shakira.
However, those watching the short clip were distracted by the background to the clip.
Harry filmed himself at what fans thought was his family home in Guildford.
The Islander was seen standing on a perfectly manicured lawn.
As he moved the camera, in the background a swimming pool could be seen, as well as posh garden furniture.
Picking up on what fans thought was a clear sign of his family's wealth, one fan wrote: "Oh Harry you rich rich! I see that garden haha."
While another added: "Why is everyone who goes into love island already rich lol"

Katherine Ryan hits back at critics after she admitted she gave her boss oral sex so she could leave work early
has hit back at critics after she admitted she gave her boss oral sex so she could leave work early. The comedian, 42, made the show revelation to journalist Louis Theroux, 55, back in 2022 as she spoke to him as back of the TV series Louis Theroux Interviews. However, years after her revelation amid her interview being promoted on streaming service StreamOnU, Katherine has spoken out in defence of herself as she declared that she was neither 'proud nor shameful' of the choices she made in the past. Alongside a clip of her telling Louis about the sexual arrangement with her boss, Katherine penned: 'Based on the reaction to this clip over the last two years, I think people mostly seem confused that I'm neither proud, nor am I shameful of the choices I made in my 'youth', as a young adult, when my frontal lobe was still developing. 'Culture moves so fast and those of us from what I call 'the girl band generation' navigated being objectified and participating in objectifying ourselves. It's a bit different now.' In the video shared to her Instagram this week, Louis questioned Katherine about sleeping with her boss, to which Katherine confirmed she said to her employer: 'If I suck you d**k, can I leave early? Something like that.' A stunned Louis responded: 'You really said that?', to which Katherine responded: 'Yeah. But I liked him. That's key. He wasn't just some guy.' When Louis asked what her bosses' reply was, she said: 'He said yes you can. Of course you can. So then I sucked his d**k and I left early'. She went on to claim that 'several' of the girls in the office had the 'same arrangement'. The broadcaster then remarked that those in the office who wanted to leave early but didn't want to engaged in the sexual activity were at a disadvantage, suggesting they were 'the losers in the transaction'. With Katherine then insisting that the man in question would 'never' have made the suggestion himself. Louis then asked if she has the same viewpoint now or if she would call out her boss for being 'totally inappropriate', with Katherine admitting it was 'tricky' as she really liked the guy and had a 'crush' on him. She added: 'I have never sucked the d**k of anyone I didn't like... at the time.' Though she'd experienced backlash for her comments over the years, recent remarks on her latest post showed many fans were also in support of her. They penned: 'The power imbalance was key, he was in the wrong not her. I feel sorry for her, but also recognise she felt empowered to do it.' 'She liked him.. They were friends. There was consent. She got to leave early. What's the problem? If you don't want to do this, don't. Don't judge someone else because they did/would.' 'She didnt have a problem... he didnt have a problem.... where is the problem??' 'She doesn't regret it, it was her idea, she liked him, she got to leave early. I think this is perfectly acceptable. At the time totally normal. It was probably the noughties and it was all a bit like that then wasn't it!' This wasn't the only bombshell made during her explosive chat with Louis. In the same interview, Katherine claimed to have told a comedian 'to his face' that he was a sexual predator and that accusations against this person were an 'open secret'. The Canadian comic told Louis that she had confronted the unnamed man while they worked together on a TV show in front of the audience 'again and again'. Katherine said she had no qualms with doing so as she had decided to handle it 'like a man' - although the confrontation itself was later cut from the broadcast. Claimed she had received criticism afterwards for not naming the person in question in public, but said just talking about him was a 'litigious minefield' as he had 'very good lawyers'. The star, who is currently pregnant with her fourth child, added that it was 'not my story to tell' but that she believed the accusations as the sources were 'very credible'.

Gary Lineker reveals he's FINALLY made up with brother Wayne - as they put aside 17-year feud at his niece Tia's Mallorca wedding
Wayne and Gary Lineker have finally put their differences aside after a 17-year feud. The brothers were reunited over the weekend as they attended the wedding of Wayne's daughter Tia in Mallorca. Tia shared the first glimpse of her lavish wedding on Instagram on Wednesday as she tied the knot with husband Harry Agombar. Now Wayne has publicly declared his love for his brother, taking to Instagram on Thursday to share a snap of the pair embracing. Wayne captioned the picture: 'Great to see my bro and my nephews at my daughters wedding #reunited #happy #family.' He also shared a sweet family snap with Gary and the crisp connoisseur's sons George, Harry, Tobias, and Angus. For almost two decades the Lineker family has been in turmoil over brothers Wayne and Gary's feud. The pair chose very different career paths from the off - with Gary, 64, dedicating his life to football punditry and hosting Match Of The Day on the BBC for 25 years before leaving the show last month. Meanwhile wild Wayne, 63, turned his love of partying into a successful business - now running the hugely-popular O Beach Club in Ibiza. Their feud began when Wayne made it clear he didn't get on with Gary's ex wife Danielle Bux and the pair have since struggled to find common ground. But after years of avoiding each other - the pair also reunited at Gary's son Harry's wedding in Ibiza in June, marking the first time they have been seen in the same room together for years. Gary shares Harry, 31 - as well as other sons George, 34, Tobias, 29, and Angus, 27, with ex wife Michelle Cockayne who he tied the knot with in 1986. And Wayne is still close with Gary's sons who often share snaps visiting O Beach with their friends during lavish holidays and stag dos to Ibiza - making the invite to Harry's wedding only natural. Gary is also now entering a new stage of his life having left the BBC amid his explosive anti-Semitic rat post row. His previously clean-cut image as the face of one of the BBC's biggest shows often seemed to jar with Wayne's party boy antics at the club - but now that his TV work is taking a back seat there could be room for the pair to reconcile. However Danielle is still very much in Gary's life with with the presenter previously admitting some might find their friendship 'unusual' as they speak 'three times a day'. Gary and Wayne's feud dates back to 2008, when former England and Barcelona striker Gary started seeing Danielle Bux and brought her on holiday to Ibiza. 'In my opinion, Danielle cost me my relationship with my brother. Sadly Gary is no longer a part of my life,' Wayne told The Sun in April 2015. Wayne was left confused when their weekly phone conversations and home visits ended abruptly - but he blames it on an awkward first encounter with Danielle, who Gary married in 2009 but divorced in 2016. Wayne is still close with Gary's sons who often share snaps visiting O Beach with their friends during lavish holidays and stag dos to Ibiza (George and Wayne at O Beach last year) 'They came to Ibiza in August 2008 and it was really awkward. I didn't spark with Danielle and our relationship was cold,' said Wayne. Wayne claimed that Danielle stayed in her room on the first day and they did not speak to one another during a night out the following night. The influencer did not want to risk upsetting his brother by bringing the tension up with Gary - but Wayne never spoke to Danielle after the holiday. He was the best man at Gary's first wedding to ex-wife Michelle Cockayne in 1986, but he was not even a guest at his brother's second set of nuptials. The club owner refused to attend because his brother told him that he couldn't bring his then-girlfriend, Ana Tanaka, who he been with for 18 months. 'She was a lovely, polite girl, and not a five-minute girlfriend,' argued Wayne. He then went on to add a picture of himself enjoying a glass of wine with daughter Tia, who looked gorgeous in a fringed champagne dress Wayne has claimed that he has tried to reconcile the relationship in the past, including on Gary's 50th birthday but a phone call between the pair lasted last less than a minute. Wayne recently reflected on his 17-year feud with his brother, telling The Mail's Straight to the Comments! podcast that things remain strained between the two, noting: 'It's not so good to be honest, we don't really speak very often. I'll always be his number one fan.' However, the duo have appeared to put their differences aside as they joined other family members to celebrate Harry's big day. Wayne took to Instagram on Sunday to share a snap of himself looking dapper in a grey blazer and white trousers as he posed alongside son Freddie. Captioning his post, he penned: 'The boys are ready for the big family wedding today as my nephew @harry_lineker weds the beautiful @bellacfh_ #ibizawedding.' He then went on to add a picture of himself enjoying a glass of wine with daughter Tia, who looked gorgeous in a fringed champagne dress. Meanwhile, Gary cut a very sharp figure in a tan blazer as he posed eldest son George, with their matching attire indicating they were both groomsmen. Gary went on to share details of the nuptials on his The Rest Is Football podcast on Monday, telling co-host Alan Shearer: 'I had Harry's wedding which went swimmingly well. 'He had an amazing speech and the bride looked amazing, it was a beautiful day. The Sun was shining and it was great.' The star went on to admit that he's a bit worse for wear following the wild celebrations, noting: 'I'm a bit fuzzy and a little bit jaded, yes! As you would expect.' It comes as the long-serving Match of the Day host recently presented his final programme for the channel on the last day of the 2024-25 season. Gary had been set to continue working with the BBC for next year's 2026 World Cup as the front man of the channel's coverage in North America, as well as leading FA Cup coverage. But the England legend announced that he would step back from the broadcaster for good after becoming embroiled in controversy for sharing an Instagram story about Zionism featuring a rat - an antisemitic trope used by the Nazis to characterise Jewish people as vermin. Announcing his exit in a BBC statement, the former England footballer said that he '(recognised) the error and upset that (he) caused. 'Stepping back now feels like the responsible course of action,' he added, stating that he 'would never consciously repost anything antisemitic'. After Lineker shared his statement stepping back from the broadcaster, the BBC's director of sport Alex Kay-Jelski sent an email to staff minutes afterwards highlighting how 'difficult and emotional' the rolling controversy had been for many of his employees. He added: 'It is sad to be saying goodbye to such a brilliant broadcaster and I also want to thank Gary for his years of service'.
