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"

Dancing With the Stars fans FURIOUS as controversial wife of A-List actor is rumored to be on this year's show
Alec Baldwin 's wife Hilaria Baldwin has sparked rumors she is joining the season 34 cast of Dancing With The Stars. The full list of celeb contestants has yet to be revealed, and the experienced yogi, 41, kicked off chatter she may be next in line after she posted a dancing video to her TikTok account on Tuesday. But it was a comment she singled out that has really prompted the speculation. 'Girl can dance!! Getting ready for DWTS?' one TikToker posted with two grey heart emojis in the comments section. Not only did Hilaria, 41, like and thank the fan for their message, but she even posted a second dancing video responding directly to that particular fan's DWTS suggestion. She uploaded a video of her busting a few more moves with the TikToker's message tacked into the corner of the clip. While this isn't the first time Hilaria has sparked DWTS speculation, the timing of this particular clip is noteworthy considering Dancing With The Stars will be premiering next month. Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Hilaria, Alec, and DWTS for comment about the casting rumors but have not yet heard back. While many fans were thrilled by the prospect of Hilaria - who shares seven kids with husband Alec, 67 - joining the show, not everyone was in agreement. 'This would be insufferable,' one posted. 'Give it up!!' another commented. 'This is sad,' one weighed in. One TikToker said they have had enough of the famous family: 'Am I the only one that's really tired of the Baldwins? I literally couldn't get through their reality show. She's incorrigible.' Another appeared to take issue with her desire for the spotlight: 'LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! Must be exhausting for family members!' The video got one viewer rolling their eyes. 'Lawd,' they wrote along with an eyeroll emoji. 'Grifter is gonna grift,' another wrote, appearing to reference the controversy surrounding Hilaria's background. The prospect of Hilaria joining DWTS divided fans in the comments section The majority of the comments, however, were positive, with one even suggesting they begin a petition to convince DWTS to cast Hilaria. 'I would love to see you on DWTS,' one wrote. 'Definitely should do dancing with the stars,' another fan said. 'We need to start a petition that hilaria should be on DWTS!!' one posted. Thurs far, only four celebrities have been unveiled for season 34 of DWTS, set to debut in September. Hilaria, pictured in June, sparked the latest round of speculation after a fan praised her dance moves Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, social media influencer Alix Earle, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Jen Affleck and Whitney Leavitt. And an insider recently exclusively revealed to Daily Mail that reality TV royalty could be taking to the coveted ballroom in a few weeks. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have both been asked to join, according to an insider. But the deal isn't set in stone just yet, as it will reportedly take a major paycheck for the couple to sign on. 'Spencer and Heidi have both been asked to join the next season of DWTS, and they could sign on the dotted line if the money is right. It is all about the money,' the source said. 'Negotiations are hot and heavy right now.' The couple, who have been married since 2008, have been in need of a financial boost after losing their $2.5million Pacific Palisades home in the devastating Los Angeles fires earlier this year.

Christine McGuinness comes to 'intense' realisation hours before Celebs Go Dating exit
It was another day of paradise for the celebrity's on the Celebs Go Dating Ibiza getaway, but it didn't seem as if Christine McGuinness was having as much fun as the others Tonight, Celebs Go Dating viewers saw the celebrities let their hair down for a night out on the town in Ibiza, without Christine McGuinness by their side - as she made a sad admission about being away from her children. It's been a tough week in the agency for mother of three Christine, who was visibly uncomfortable during the first mixer. She did however, manage to secure a date in Ibiza, and last night fans saw her having a lovely time with Leanne. The pair, who are both mothers to three children, opened up about the mum guilt they face, and tonight, Christine emotionally opened up about missing her children while she was away. It comes after Christine McGuinness says 'it's my fault' and reveals surprising truth behind Paddy split. Before the season started airing, Christine revealed she had decided to leave the agency, in scenes which are yet to air. However, it looks like Christine's time could be up soon, as she spoke about how the process felt 'too intense' for her. As her castmates Louis Russell, Jon Lee and Olivia Hawkins headed off for a night in the town, Christine informed the trio that she'd be staying back for a quiet night alone in the villa. Expanding to the camera, the 37-year-old said: "In all honesty, I'm finding being away from the kids and being here with everyone a little bit too intense. I'm just craving a bit of peace and quiet," she said. The others then headed on an eventful night out, where they met Kerry Katona after her date. Too Hot To Handle 's Louis Russell appeared to get lucky during the night out, as he was spotted kissing another girl in front of Love Island star Olivia's face. The two have been getting close all series, as S Club star Jon told Olivia that Louis kissing a girl was to "get her back" for bringing her date back to the villa later in the day. It looks like Christine avoided the villa drama, and it doesn't look like she'll be there for much longer, as confirmed back in May. Taking to her Instagram story a few months back, Christine said: "I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me. "They've said the door is always open for me which I'm so grateful but for now I'm returning home to my family." A spokesperson for Celebs Go Dating said in a statement that those behind the show have "loved" working with Christine and "respect her feelings". They said: "We have loved having Christine on the show and completely respect her feelings and decision to return home and have told her that the door is always open for her in the future at the agency."

Yungblud shares the brutal way he found out about Ozzy Osbourne's death
Ozzy Osbourne's death came as a shock to many but while the rest of the world found out from the family's statement, Yungblud was told less gently. The Prince of Darkness died aged 76 from a heart attack on July 22 and was laid to rest days later in Birmingham. He had formed a close friendship with Yungblud, real name Dom Harrison, after crossing paths in 2022, becoming a mentor to the rising star. The pair were so close Dom was texting with the Black Sabbath icon up until his death, with Osbourne's son Jack having to break the news. 'I was texting him, then his son Jack texted me and said, 'He's gone.' I'm like, 'What?'' the 28-year-old star told The Sun. He explained that the past few weeks had been 'very weird to connect with', having performed with Osbourne at the Back to the Beginning concert in early July. 'You get to know someone personally, who you love. And then they leave,' Dom continued. 'Being around the family and being at the funeral, the amount of love there.' The funeral was an emotional affair with a procession through the streets of Osbourne's hometown, Birmingham, filled with fans paying tribute. His widow, Sharon Osbourne, was seen sobbing alongside their children as they approached Black Sabbath Bridge in a heartbreaking moment. Metallica bassist Robert Trujillo shared some insight into the private family funeral when Osbourne was buried on the grounds of his mansion. Speaking on SiriusXM's Trunk Nation, the 60-year-old musician said: When Kelly was singing, her lyrics flew. Like the wind blew her lyrics away. It was almost like Ozzy was having fun with her. 'Geezer broke down in tears. He had a hard time, obviously, speaking. And then he came back up and he delivered an amazing eulogy. 'The sun actually came out, and then it was beautiful from that moment on.' Alongside Kelly, Dom was one of the chosen few who performed at the funeral, singing a rendition of Changes, which he also sang at the farewell gig. Dom has now released the live version of the 1972 solo track, with proceeds going to Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorns Children's Hospice. 'The best thing is that I got to honour my hero,' Dom shared in the interview. 'That's all I was thinking about. I was singing for one man there.' He had previously shared a snap of the iconic crucifix Osbourne often wore, which he passed on to the Abyss singer before his death. In his tribute to Osbourne, the singer said the crucifix was 'the most precious thing' he owned. 'I didn't think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room,' he penned alongside pictures of the duo backstage at the Back to the Beginning concert. More Trending 'But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't. I will never forget you – you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.' Dom continued: 'You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. 'You took us on your adventure – an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.' Got a story?
