‘It’s a bit too much’: Love Island viewers call out Harry’s reaction to Sophie’s accident

Love Island 2025 viewers are furious after Harry’s reaction to Sophie talking about her traumatic fire accident.

During the first coupling of the season last night, Harry Cooksley and Sophie Lee were paired together. After which, Harry and Sophie decided have a one on one chat to get to know each other.

During this conversation Sophie revealed that she had been in a fire accident at the age of 22 which caused burn scars over her face and chest.

She said: “It made the woman that I am. It made me learn so much about life and interactions with people and how to be better.”

However, Harry reacted to this during an interview saying it was “a bit much for me”.

This comment made by the 30-year-old quickly gained backlash from the viewers.

One viewer took to X to express their disbelief saying: “Men don’t like sophisticated and confident women who know their worth and what they want e.g Harry saying she’s a bit much just say you’re thick.”
