And it was far from plain sailing for brunette beauty Rheo during her time on the show. The Casa Amor sign up got to know Harry on a romantic level, with things really heating up between the pair as they shared snogs under the sheets. But since leaving the villa after a brutal Casa dumping as Harry chose Helena, Rheo has revealed the truth about her connection with Harry. In a TikTok video, the reality star could be seen miming along to a song that implied she wasn't very impressed. She looked stunning in a white top with a glam makeup look and her hair down, and she wrote at the caption: 'My friends and family when I went for Harry in Casa Amor.' Rheo added: 'Wouldn't of been my first choice.' Responding to her comment, one person penned: 'Knew you'd been forced into that one tbh x.' Rheo replied: 'Ooop🤭 you know the real tea hahahah,' and this then led fans to question what the 'real tea' was. Love Island's Rheo SLAMS Harry and reveals moment that never made it to air And Rheo then revealed that it was actually Conor she'd wanted to get to know, not Harry, but shared why this didn't happen. 'Me and Emma were scrapping over Connor on the first night 😂😂😂 she told me I can't have her old man and her new man lmao.' A Love Island spokesperson said: 'The opinions the Islanders have, decisions they make and the relationships formed are completely within the control of the Islanders themselves.' This weekend, Rheo slammed Harry as a game player while appearing on Aftersun. Maya asked the star if she was surprised not to be brought back from Casa Amor. She replied: "to be honest, I was as shocked as the rest of the nation, like, it's Harry, to be fair, what did I expect? "But I was actually a bit shocked with him, because we did get deep. Harry has a deep level." She then found humour in the situation, and exclaimed: "I found it like we're going for that one." Rheo added: "But I was shocked, also not shocked, because he's playing a game, like that big game." Maya then asked what sort of a game he was playing, to which Rheo explained: "I think he wanted to repair his reputation there. "Just go in, go with Helena, and hopefully get to the end. I know he's got a game plan." The presenter then brought up the movie night twist as Rheo interjected: "I feel like he got off scott free. "Do you understand how much went on that wasn't like in that movie night? I was begging." The host then asked what it was that viewers didn't see and Rheo stated "I mean, I can tell you all sorts." "[He said] stuff, like; 'Our chats with you are just so different. With Helena, it's only ever sexual with her. This is so much better. I could take you back to my mother'.'

Maura Higgins makes sensational return to Love Island as 'ultimate bombshell' against all odds - admitting 'it feels good to be back'
Maura Higgins made a sensational return to Love Island on Sunday night as she re-entered the TV villa - but not how you'd expect. The Irish star, 34, said it 'feels good to be back' after laying low from screens recently, following her Bafta 'snog' with McFly 's Danny Jones. It was previously announced how she would be stepping away as host of the spin-off show Aftersun on Love Island USA over conflicting schedules as Australian host Sophie Monk took her place. However, Maura returned to the villa for the show's finale last night as the winner was crowned. Despite reports she wouldn't return on air for the last episode of the current series, she left fans of the dating show delighted as she popped up in the Fiji-based villa. Show narrator Iain Stirling, 37, described Maura as the 'ultimate bombshell' to viewers as he -reintroduced her. The Irish star, 34, said it 'feels good to be back' after laying low from screens recently, following her Bafta 'snog' with McFly 's Danny Jones The Scottish star said: 'Tonight, the ultimate bombshell returns, it's Maura Higgins, and she's brought some All Star friends with her.' There were just four couples left in the villa - Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales, Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seeley - heading into Sunday's finale. Each of the four couples went on one last epic date, before the winner was declared by host Ariana Madix. However, only one member of the winning couple was actually awarded the $100k prize, and they must decide whether or not to split it with their partner. It was also revealed that there will be a Season 7 reunion special co-hosted by Madix and Andy Cohen, airing Monday, August 25 at 9 PM ET on Peacock. So who won this tumultuous season of Love Island USA? It was in fact Amaya and Bryan who emerged victorious! Iris Kendall and Pepe Garcia-Gonzalez finished in fourth place and Huda Mustafa and Chris Seele were in third, which shocked Huda since they revealed earlier in the finale that they were going to be 'just friends.' 'How the f**k did we get third? We're not even together-together,' Huda said with a laugh after leaning of her third-place finish. 'I feel so seen and validated for people to see how strong our connection is,' Amaya said after winning Amaya and Bryan beat out runners-up Nic and Olandria for the prize, with each of them given cards - one of which had $0 and the other with $100,000. 'I feel so seen and validated for people to see how strong our connection is,' Amaya said after winning. 'Meeting Amaya here, turned my experience around ridiculously. It feels surreal,' Bryan said. Amaya's card was $0 with Bryan winning $100,000, who was then faced with the choice to split the cash with Amaya or take it all. 'Honestly, this isn't even really a question for me. Me and Amaya talk about our upbringings a lot. All I keep thinking about is my dad saying, "Money is important but it isn't everything." Of course I'm splitting this money with Amaya,' Bryan said.

Maya Jama says Love Island bosses cut some of her scenes after swiping at Ben
Love Island host, Maya Jama, put Islander, Ben Holbrough, firmly in his place on the ITV show last week, winning her praise from Aftersun panellist, Sam Thompson Maya Jama has admitted that ITV cuts some of her scenes from Love Island when she's giving 'feedback' to the Islanders. The plucky presenter, 30, was praised last week when she put model, Ben Holbrough, firmly in his place, quipping: "I didn't really like that, Ben. It was unnecessary" after he made a crude remark about bombshell, Lauren Wood. Love Island spin-off panellist, Sam Thompson, applauded Maya for criticising the model as he told the former Radio 1 DJ: "You smashed it with Ben by the way, yeah, you nailed that." However, explaining that she 'always speaks' but it doesn't always make the cut, Maya responded: "Thank you, but you do have to remember we film for a long time, I do always speak, it just doesn't always get involved." Keen to move on after the reveal, she added: "But there you got my two pence." After it was announced that Harrison Solomon had recoupled with bombshell, Lauren, despite previously romancing Toni Laites, Maya asked the pool cabana server what she thought. Referring to Tommy Bradley switching Emily Moran for Lucy Quinn, Toni, 24 replied: 'Tommy obviously surprised me, the rest of them not so much.' But then Ben quipped: 'I think I've got to give it to Harrison - what Lauren's been able to give him in three days, you haven't been able to do in two or three weeks.' Toni spat: 'Save it, b****" as Maya, clearly unimpressed by Ben's comment, retorted: "I didn't really like that Ben, that was unnecessary.' Fans shared their thoughts about the sassy exchange on social media earlier as one person wrote on Instagram: "Maya is brilliant. Best TV host award." Another said: "Love that Maya put Ben in his place." A third viewer wrote: "Thank you Maya!" Someone else said: "You tell him Maya" as viewer wrote: "Maya getting involved, chefs kiss." Meanwhile, another fan reacted to a clip of the scene that was shared on the platform, musing: "I love Maya calling them out for their behaviour." However, not everyone was impressed, as one viewer replied: "Suppose to be impartial Maya" as another said: "But it's true what Ben said Harrison looks happier than he was with Toni." Maya also gave her "two pence" earlier in the show when Harry and Helena were reunited during Wednesday's episode when Harry surprisingly returned from Casa single, despite exploring a connection with bombshell, Rheo Parnell. Rheo lifted the lid on their time together, claiming there were "kisses in bed, cuddles and all sorts" between her and Harry. Andrada Pop then said Harry admitted he 'didn't miss' his couple during Casa, which prompted an awkward response from the semi-professional footballer and Helena, who burst into laughter. However, stoney-faced, Maya questioned their reaction, saying: "I don't know, I probably wouldn't find it that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that."
