Love Island 2025 contestant Harry Cooksley has sparked outrage among viewers, with many calling for his removal from the villa following his actions in the latest episode. The 25-year-old was accused of lying to his current partner, Shakira, about a televised moment and making a 'naughty' comment to fellow Islander Helena.
During the episode, Harry sneaked off with Helena to the Hideaway, joking about returning there secretly. He later told Shakira about the flirting but omitted details. In a game of dares, Harry gave Helena a lap dance, whispering 'Hideaway' into her ear while Shakira was present. He then placed his hand on both Shakira's and Helena's legs, prompting Shakira to confront him.
Viewers took to social media to express their anger. One fan posted on X: 'Is nobody going to talk about how Harry literally lied to Shakira’s face, saying Helena stuck it on him when he did the exact same. And whispering 'hideaway' to Helena in the game. GET HIM OUTTT!!' Another wrote: 'Get Harry out my villa.'
Others commented on the 'wild' nature of the comment. One said: 'Harry whispering 'Hideaway' in front of Shakira was wild and so weird.' Another added: 'WoooooW whispering hideaway is naughty.'
The backlash comes after Sophie Lee was dumped from the show on Tuesday, leaving fans stunned. However, some viewers speculate Sophie may return as a bombshell in Casa Amor, the show's second villa. One fan wrote: 'I reckon Sophie will re-enter the villa as a bombshell by the end of next week at the latest or she will re-enter in Casa Amor.'
Love Island 2025 airs nightly at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.
