Love Island contestant Harry Cooksley has found himself embroiled in controversy after 12 different women came forward claiming he was romantically involved with them just before entering the villa.
The 27-year-old model, who joined the hit ITV2 show this season, is now being labelled a 'serial shagger' by one of his exes, who says he was 'speaking to multiple girls at once' in the lead-up to filming.
The Claims Against Harry
According to sources close to the situation:
- Harry allegedly maintained romantic conversations with at least a dozen women
- Some claim they were led to believe they were in exclusive relationships
- One ex-partner says she only discovered the truth when he appeared on Love Island
Model's Reputation Takes a Hit
The Essex-born reality star, who previously worked as a model, is now facing serious questions about his behaviour before entering the famous villa. 'He told me I was the only one,' revealed one anonymous source, 'then I saw him on TV and realised I'd been completely played.'
Another woman claimed Harry was 'masterful at keeping multiple plates spinning', with some relationships allegedly overlapping for months.
Love Island Producers Respond
While ITV has declined to comment on the specific allegations, a show insider confirmed that all contestants undergo thorough background checks. 'We vet everyone carefully,' the source said, 'but personal relationships before the show are private matters.'
The scandal comes at a crucial time for the dating show, which has faced criticism in recent years over its duty of care to participants.
