Love Island fans hit out at Harry's behaviour amid dramatic villa shake-up

Love Island fans were left raging after Sunday night's episode, after one contestant's "manipulative" behaviour got too much to take. Harry Cooksley, 30, had rubbed viewers up the wrong way with his popcorn-eating, leaving them feeling ill.

The ITV show's ever-dramatic Movie Night left islanders reeling after they saw clips of incriminating conversations projected on the big screen for all to see. But it was Harry who left them all fuming, with his partner on the show, Helena Ford, confronting him about his actions.

She told him: "I'm getting fed up with this 'I only do it to Helena because she lets me get away with it'... you're making me look stupid again! Literally every person that comes into the Villa says, 'you let Harry walk all over you.'"

Despite previously breaking up and recoupling, Harry went on to deny intentionally upsetting Helena. But Sunday night's episode saw viewers take issue with the way he continued to eat leftover popcorn while she was trying to speak to him.

Shakira, who was speaking with Toni, said that watching him eat was making her feel sick. Fans agreed, taking to social media to share their thoughts.

One wrote: "There's no way I'm trying to have a serious conversation with a man and he's answering with a mouthful of popcorn not even looking at omg." Another commented: "Oh my days, Shakira is so right, Harry is making me feel sick too cause WHY IS HE EATING LIKE THAT IS HE FIVE?"

A third fan echoed: "I hate the way Harry ate his popcorn during that conversation with Helena; he doesn't take anything seriously." Someone else typed: "I would have f****** thrown that popcorn over Harry if he was eating like that when I was trying to have a serious conversation with him."

Even Maya Jama had something to say after Harry had been up to his old tricks in Casa Amor. Shortly after she was reunited with Harry, Helena was introduced to dumped islander Rheo Parnell, who had grown close to Harry in Casa Amor. Rheo said: "I don't think I need to explain what he may have been up to over there. Harry strikes again!"

Helena asked: "How bad are we talking?" Rheo replied: "Well, I mean there were kisses in bed. There was like ... cuddles." Amid discussion about his latest antics, Harry said that he had been "exploring the connection" whilst in the other villa.

Andrada Pop added: "I did ask Harry did he miss Helena and he said he didn't." Helena reacted: "To be fair, I think I did say I didn't miss Harry on the first day either." Helena and Harry were then seen laughing together over the situation.

Rheo said: "Fair enough." Love Island host Maya then shared her thoughts, saying: "I don't know. I probably wouldn't find it that funny if I was in a couple with someone like that but..."

Jamie Rhodes said: "Yeah, I can't lie, this is like repeated behaviour. Like you gotta wake up at some point." After confirming he was talking to Helena, he added: "Personally, I think you deserve more respect."

Maya - who also confronted Ben Holbrough in the episode over a comment that he made in another scene - said: "Helena, you laugh quite a lot when he's been doing things. Is that to avoid upset or are you genuinely not bothered?"
