Love Island fans convinced Harry is secretly loaded after he shows off huge home and pool
Love Island fans reckon Harry Cooksley is mega minted after he showed off a jaw-dropping home on TikTok. The reality star, who made it to the final of the ITV series with Shakira last week, looked like lord of the manor when he posted a clip of himself in an enormous garden, which came complete with a sizeable swimming pool.
Harry shared snaps of Shakira at the house as well as his family and friends for a lavish homecoming, with a caption, which read: "Amazing to see everyone," followed by a love heart.
Fans are convinced the footballer must be loaded after seeing the snaps, with many commenting on how rich Harry must be. However, all is it not as it seems, according to reports. It comes as a former Love Island star made a surprise appearance on the new series of Celebs Go Dating.
The Sun reports that the home doesn't belong to Harry and is, in fact, the residence of his pal, entrepreneur, Harry Hugo.
Harry Hugo visited the Islander during the Meet The Family day in the villa, on this year's series of Love Island. He has shared pictures of his impressive pad 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 outlet: '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 has not 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 - and that he's rolling in cash.
The reality star shared a video from the palatial pile recently on TikTok, where he thanked fans for their support during his time on the show, which he left, coupled up up with Shakira.
However, viewers were more interested in the stately home behind him, which boasted a perfectly manicure lawn and inviting-looking swimming pool.
Commenting on what they believed was his family's wealth, one fan wrote: "Oh Harry you rich rich! I see that garden haha."

The secret ways Disney World keeps mosquitoes out of its humid Orlando theme park
A Disney World guest has revealed the surprising secret behind why you rarely see mosquitoes at the Orlando, Florida, theme park. In a now-viral TikTok video, posted by the user @disney_dad1, the unnamed guest detailed the alleged clever tricks that Disney uses to keep bugs at bay, despite the park being built on swampy land. 'You're in central Florida ... swamps, humidity, it should be a mosquito paradise,' the TikToker explained. 'But somehow, there's nothing buzzing in your ears. So here's the secret ... and it's honestly kind of genius. 'When Walt was designing Disney World, he hired an actual entomologist... a bug expert. 'His job? Figure out how to keep mosquitoes away without ruining the experience for guests, and it worked.' The TikToker then explained the three key strategies that Disney allegedly uses to ensure guests are never getting bit up at the Most Magical Place on Earth. 'First, Disney doesn't let water sit still. No standing puddles. Everything drains fast. Fountains flow constantly. Even decorative moats have circulation,' they shared. 'No still water means no mosquito breeding grounds.' Secondly, the narrator claimed that the staff lightly sprays a garlic-based repellent around the parks. 'You don't smell it, but mosquitoes hate it,' he explained. 'It's non-toxic, safe for guests, but enough to keep bugs away.' Lastly, to help keep the park mosquito-free, the TikToker said that Disney relies on natural predators like dragonflies, birds, and even bats that come out at night. 'Disney basically created a little ecosystem where mosquitoes lose every time. And the wildest part? It's all designed to be invisible,' he revealed. 'Just like the trash tunnels and the background music, the bug control blends into the magic.' On its website, Disney shares very little about how it keeps mosquitos at bay, simply writing in its FAQ section, 'We have an extensive mosquito prevention and monitoring program across property.' The Daily Mail has reached out to Disney for comment. People in the comment section of the video were shocked to learn about Disney's imaginative solutions. 'That was more interesting than I thought,' one person wrote. 'That is why it's the greatest place on earth,' another shared. A different parkgoer observed: 'Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen all that many insects of any kind there.' 'Disney World is 'genius' at everything. That's what separates them from all the others. Their attention to detail is incredible!' someone else said. 'Disney is AMAZING,' one person simply stated. However, one Disney fan said the solutions didn't work on them. 'I've been bitten by mosquitoes at WDW almost every time I go,' they revealed.

Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb breaks silence on Mack death scenes
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Emmerdale star Lawrence Robb has spoken out about his upcoming on-screen death. Metro revealed last week that killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) will claim his next victim – Mackenzie Boyd – in upcoming scenes. John, as viewers know, has somewhat of a hero complex, swooping in last minute to play the saviour after endangering the lives of several villagers. From spiking Chas Dingle (Lucy Pargeter) to setting Ella Forster (Paula Lane) up, it doesn't seem like he's about to stop anytime soon. That's without mentioning the murder of Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), who died before John could play the hero. A source told us: 'The John story has so many twists and turns to come and this will come as a genuine surprise to fans. 'Mack has survived quite a lot over the years but his time is well and truly up this time. 'What his exit does is set the stage for an exciting next stage to John's saga later in the autumn that will leave fans quite literally on edge.' Now actor Lawrence has been put in a difficult position about the upcoming story when questioned by the Loose Women panellists. When appearing on the ITV daytime show today to talk about the ongoing surrogacy storyline – that has seen Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) decide to be a surrogate for granddaughter Sarah Sugden (Katie Hill) – the awkward matter of his upcoming exit was addressed. 'I don't want to put you on the spot, but I'm going to,' asked Jane Moore. 'There's lots of rumours that Mack might be getting killed off.' Lawrence, visibly squirming, replied: 'Yeah, there are lots of rumours. And rumours they shall remain.' Quick thinking – though Denise Welch didn't look too convinced. Co-host Coleen Nolan then chimed in, asking: 'If that was the case, I'm not saying it is or it isn't, [but] do they discuss that with you straight away or about a month before it's happening?' 'It's never brutal,' he replied, being extremely cautious about his wording. 'I've always said, being in the show, I never want to be too prescriptive with it. 'I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. Ultimately if and when, – if, when – the time for Mack to leave comes, whether that be my choice or the writer-producers, I'll be thankful for the time that I've had.' He concluded: 'Ultimately, nobody is safe in the show. It's most dangerous village in the country.' Anchor Christine Lampard then stepped up to offer a much needed reprieve from the interrogation, introducing a clip from an upcoming episode. Mack made his debut five years ago when he turned up at Butlers Farm as the long-lost younger sibling of Moira Dingle (Natalie J Robb). Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

He also swiftly embarked on a relationship with Charity, who was seeing Vanessa Woodfield (Michelle Hardwick) at the time of their one night stand. More Trending In the years since, Mack has been at the centre of numerous stories, including a one night stand with Chloe Harris, which led to the birth of his son Reuben. The storyline led to Charity and Mack splitting up but ultimately they found their way back to one another and have been happy in the years since, but it seems it could all be set to end in tragedy if John does in fact kill Mack.

I wore five-finger shoes to the office — and my colleagues weren't on board
Nobody could have predicted the hot girl shoe of the summer would have five fingers, but Vibram's FiveFingers are having a moment. They're basically a glove for your feet, with a separate space for every single toe. Not up your street? I'm afraid to tell you that you're falling off trend. These freaky toe shoes are designed for barefoot running enthusiasts, but more recently, they've been appearing on the feet of A-listers and attendees of New York Fashion Week. They're plastered all over social media as the must-have shoe this year, with fashion girlies even wearing them to work. So after getting hold of some, I decided to give them a whirl for my 8-5. I was initially too embarrassed to put them on, so I let a poll on my Instagram story, titled 'Should I wear Vibram five-finger shoes to the office?', make up my mind. And after the majority (71%) voted yes, I had no choice other than to be brave and slip on the controversial footwear. Getting them on took much longer than I had anticipated – around 10 minutes to slot each toe into the individual spaces – which almost made me late for work. The experience was off to a less-than-perfect start, but I got there on time after a surprisingly speedy commute — something I'm prepared to credit to the shoes' lightweight and minimalist design. That said, I felt strangely uncomfortable throughout most of the journey. At least four people checked out my toes for much longer than a glance. They couldn't look away, as if they'd never seen a girl wearing gloves on her feet. The reception for the shoes was no better from my colleagues once I arrived at the office. One called them 'creepy', another said 'toes freak me out', while a third, very unconvincingly, said, 'they look cool'. At least they all agreed the pink colour was nice. It was hard not to be self-conscious with so many strong opinions floating around. I felt shamed into taking the stairs back down for lunch, desperate to avoid the staring – or, heaven forbid, having to defend my choice of footwear – in the lift. But after taking a quick break and walking around the park, I realised two things: these shoes are actually really comfy, and the cynics are severely missing out. Those unwilling to embrace them are not just lacking comfort, but fashion taste too. At least, according to social media anyway. Influencers are desperate to get their hands (feet?) on some, including one who claimed 'they're the comfiest shoe I've ever owned'. Meanwhile, others have lamented the fact they can't find them anywhere due to the recent spike in popularity. Vibrams have been around since 2006 though, and this isn't their first shot at the limelight. Back in 2012, actress Shailene Woodley wore a pair to the Golden Globes after-party. The distinctive shoe was pictured pointing out under her floor-length black velvet dress, and sparked a similar wave of public confusion at the time. Scarlett Johansson and David Beckham have also been papped sporting them. But aside from that brief 15 minutes, they'd mainly kept a clientele of middle-aged male runners. Until now, that is. Chris Wilson, chairman of Charles Birch Ltd, which owns Vibram UK, tells me 'barefoot is back,' as I try on a pair of the shoes in its Shoreditch HQ. Despite this, he can't believe the renaissance Vibrams are experiencing. They're flying off the shelves and into the baskets of 20-something women who want to show them off online, with Chris estimating that He tells me around 70% of their purchases nowadays are from young women. And it's evident in the shop. One customer I met had travelled all the way from Milan to the London location to buy a pair, reluctantly dragging her two friends – who are yet to convert to the style – along. 'I love them,' she proclaimed in defiance. According to Chris, one of the brand's most popular styles, a ballet-like slipper, has appeared on the feet of popstars he's 'never even heard of', and he says they've sold out of their next two orders. However, even if it looks like a trend at fever pitch, barefoot footwear has been on the rise for a while. The idea behind these shoes is to mimic the experience of walking or running au naturel, while providing some kind of protection for the feet. They usually have a thin, flexible sole and a wide toe box to allow your toes to naturally spread. It started largely as trend for health-conscious consumers, but fashionistas began promoting barefoot shoes online, and more and more brands followed suit with their own spin. @egorchan4in ♬ The Weeknd come through – alisha.ﾒ૦ Balenciaga collaborated with Vibram in 2020 to create a heeled version of the shoe, later dropping a $350 3D-moulded barefoot sandal called 'The Zero', which barely covered the big toe. Maison Margiela Tabis are another controversial barefoot shoe which have boomed in popularity over the past couple of years, retailing for between £820 and £1,190 online. More Trending Featuring a split between the big toe and the other four, they resemble a cow's hoof, and are inspired by the traditional 15th-century Japanese sock of the same name designed promote balance and stability. But even though loyals have been banging the barefoot drum for the best part of two decades, not everyone is ready for this style of shoe to go mainstream — as the reactions of both my colleagues and those online will attest to. TikToker @emmahopeall shared a video wearing Vibrams on the Tube, saying that everyone was 'laughing' at them. It didn't help matters though, as commenters declared them 'terrifying' and said wearing them outside was 'diabolical.' While others had real concerns – including one who wrote: 'I'd just be scared someone will step on my toes' – for the most part, the response was trepidatious. Having felt the fear and worn them anyway however, I can safely say I'm a convert. Although I've been very much influenced to wear the viral Vibrams, not all of my workmates feel the same way. Metro's assistant opinion and first-person editor James Besanvalle was gifted a pair of Vibram's back in 2011 while working at a sports shop. 'I would never have bought them for myself,' he says. James wore them a total of 10 times to go running outdoors. The only issue? A lack of support: 'My feet were sore every time I wore them, and it felt like they were constantly separating my toes.' Sophie Laughton, Metro newsletter editor, also has strong opinions, saying: 'There's a man who I regularly see walking to the station who wears them and the sight of his little rubber toes gripping the pavement makes me gag.'
