We all saw *that* moment during the Love Island final where Harrison was caught live on TV rolling his eyes at the mention of ex, Toni. He was caught looking pretty bitter multiple times, actually. Then he had to fake a smile when she won the whole thing. Art!

Well now Toni has clapped back at the moment. On Radio 1, she was asked if she had noticed Harrison’s actions. “He needs to be better and not bitter,” she replied. A queen!

Shock! People already think Shakira and Harry might split up soon

We’re not even a week clean from the villa, and breakup rumours are brewing. Shock horror! The split conspiracy theorists have come for Harry and Shakira first. Today, The Sun has run a story that the couple are “on the brink of split” after their first TV interview.

Why you might ask? Because Shakira reposted a picture on her story from when she called Harry an “absolute little ant” and “f*cking cockroach”. Shakira reposted the pics, and joked of Harry: “Second place suits you.” Ofc, people have jumped on thinking this means she’s already sick of him. Sure!

Conor has been reposting TikToks shading Meg?!

In a wild crossover, Conor has been caught reposting TikToks shading Meg, and is now all tail between his legs insisting it was a mistake. I’m pretty sure you have to press a few buttons to repost a TikTok, but whatever you say.

A video was posted, that said: “Anyone else find it really funny that Meg is making TikToks with everyone she hated in the show? Emma, Andrada… why is she trying to build bridges? Next she’ll be making TikToks with Shakira doing dances and sh*t. Was it all just an act? Or has Dejon already f*cked off?”.

Conor was seen to have reposted the clip. Then he insisted it was an accident. He commented: “I reposted by accident!! Meg is my big sis.” I mean, do we believe him? One person said: “No you didn’t and it’s ok.” Lol.

Harry has admitted he was dating people right before the show started

Harry has been under fire a lot since the show started. And you know what, rightly so. But he’s finally addressed it. And it’s not what you’d expect, either. No straight up denial. He’s instead pretty much admitted everything we’ve heard about him is completely true. Ok???

He firstly had to defend himself when it was claimed he had a secret girlfriend before the show. Then, someone else spoke out and said he was actually dating 12 women before Love Island. 12!!!

“A few of us were led to believe we were in exclusive relationships with him,” the woman said. “I am actually distraught about it all. I have been really struggling to get through this.”

Speaking to The Tab prior to Love Island, Harry said he was dating people before the show. However, he promised there was “nothing serious” in any of those relationships. “I’ve dated people leading up to the show,” he admitted. “I couldn’t tell anyone I was dating that I was going on the show.”

He’s now doubled down on this, and fully admitted he was dating loads of girls before Love Island. “I was definitely dating. I was definitely seeing people,” he said on Lorraine. “And also, with the process, there’s no guarantee you’re not in the villa till you’re in the villa.” Want my advice, Harry? Get yourself a manager who can tell you when it’s best not to speak.

Harry’s mum didn’t vote for him and Shakira in the final lol

Wild to admit, but Harry’s mum didn’t vote for him and Shakira in the final. Don’t worry, don’t worry, she didn’t do the worst and vote for someone else.

As Harry explained: “Want to hear something funny? So, I spoke to my mum last night and she said ‘oh you were the Bookies favourite so I put £10 on you to win.’ But she didn’t even end up voting for me. She told me on the phone that she forgot to vote. She put a bet on me to win though.” Ouch.

Shea has called Helena ‘boring’ and it’s giving catty!

Remember when Helena called Shea boring in the villa? Well, it would appear he’s a bit salty over it. He was asked in a Q&A: “Opinion on Helena calling you boring.” He replied: “Feeling’s mutual tbh”.

Shea then added more, giving his side of the “divide” between the girls in the villa. One person asked him: “Was there actually a split in the friends groups?” Shea said: “Yeah there was a big divide and people who say they didn’t notice it are lying, it was obvious.”

Oh, and people think Harrison and Lauren will split soon too!

It’s not just Shakira and Harry! Lauren and Harrison are apparently close to the end, too. And this is all due to that silly nickname he’s been given. In the villa the boys all called Harrison “Young Bull” and he’s now made this his Instagram bio.

In short, if a guy is called a young bull it’s usually because he can’t control himself around women. Young bulls are notoriously frisky, because they haven’t been castrated yet, so yeah. Harrison is basically saying he’s a ladies’ man. Casual.

People are sure Lauren will give up on the disrespect soon. On Reddit, one person wrote: “How Lauren can stand to be with a man that has changed his insta name to a nickname that literally degrades her too is… well….” Another added: “Harrison changing his insta name to ‘young bull’ also proves his initial ‘remorse’ over the way he acted was fake, he doesn’t regret sh*t.” Damn straight.
