Love Island fans have condemned Harry Cooksley for his actions in the latest episode, after he crept out of bed to spend the night in the villa's Hideaway with Helena Ford. Harry had been cuddling his partner Shakira Khan moments before he left, prompting a backlash from viewers who called his behaviour 'disgusting' and 'sick'.
The ITV2 show saw Harry and Helena head to the private room while their respective partners Shakira and Conor Phillips remained in the main bedroom. Their departure did not go unnoticed by the other islanders, who realised the pair had sneaked off together. Harry had been growing close to Helena whilst coupled up with Shakira, though he had also seemed to continue developing a romance with Shakira.
Viewers reacted strongly on social media, with one writing on X: 'Cuddling her knowing ur about to run away to the hideaway with another girl is SICK.' Another said: 'Taking your arm off the girl you are cuddling and coupled up with to sneak off in front of everyone to run to the hideaway with another girl is crazy work!'
A third commented: 'Getting out of bed MID CUDDLING YOUR GIRL to go to the hideaway with ANOTHER GIRL is absolutely absurd.' Others called Harry a 'snake' and described the situation as 'wild' and 'dirty'. The episode concluded with Harry and Helena spending the night together in the Hideaway.
