Let's all be honest, the second we saw Love Island OG Harriett Blackmore slow-mo strut into the 2024 villa, we all knew she had that X Factor - you know, it's the same thing that gives the Molly-Mae Hague, Whitney Adebayo and Olivia Attwood their powers.
The Love Island 2024 queen was always destined to be a star here at heatworld.
So imagine our utter joy it was announced that Harriett is returning to the villa for All Stars 2025 and she'll be coming face-to-face with her ex Ronnie Vint once again.
Harriett is one of two new arrivals to the villa tonight (Thursday 23 January), alongside Love Island 2023's Montel McKenzie, and she thrown straight in at the deep end when she has to snog all of the boys - including Ronnie - in a kissing challenge.
Ahead of her return to the villa, here's everything you need to know about the iconic Islander...

What happened when Harriett Blackmore was on Love Island 2024?
Harriett entered the villa on day one as an OG girl and was coupled up with Ciaran Davies after the Islanders ranked each other based on how much they were boyfriend or girlfriend material. Things didn't get off to a great start though as Ciaran chose to pursue Nicole Samuel instead. Harriett then coupled up with Sean Stone, but they turned out to just be friends.
She then found herself in a love triangle with Ronnie Vint and Jess White. Harriett and Jess' feud was one for the Love Island history books, but ultimately Ronnie decided Harriett was the one for him. However, they were dumped from the villa on day 26.
Why did Harriett Blackmore and Ronnie Vint split?
Following Harriett and Ronnie split, reports claimed that couple were too busy to 'dedicate enough time' to make things work. Harriett later exclusively told heatworld, 'I think we both need to work on ourselves and he’s the most amazing boy ever and I’ve shared such a special experience with him.'
She added, 'I think we just need to take things slower because, like with everyone else, we rushed into it.'
What happened with Harriett Blackmore and Jess White?
The Love Island girls clashed over Ronnie and soon realised they were entirely different people.
Jess and Harriett were constantly battling for Ronnie's attention and although Harriett admitted last year that there was 'no bad blood between her and the retail manager, it seems that may not be the case...

Is Harriett Blackmore friends with Saffron Barker?

Did Harriett Blackmore have a secret boyfriend going in to Love Island 2024?
Harriett got tongues seriously wagging days before she even walked into the villa after rumours of a secret boyfriend started doing the rounds.
After ITV announced Harriett as an OG, rumours of a 'secret boyfriend' IRL became nothing short of rife, but during a sit down with UK media, she confirmed that those rumours were just that, rumours. According to the Islander, she broke up with her ex in January 2024, meaning that in the weeks prior to entering the villa she was a single Pringle and ready to mingle.
Harriett confirmed, 'I broke up recently with my boyfriend in January, so about four months ago. And we've remained in contact because obviously we were together for such a long time, and the break up was quite out of the blue. So I think we both had questions; we both wanted closure in that sort of sense.
'A lot of our lives was with each other. So we remained in contact, but I definitely don't have a boyfriend. He's moved on with someone else. Just to clear that up, we broke up in January.'
When asked why they split, Harriett replied, 'There wasn't a big event or anything that happened. He went away with his friends skiing, and then he came back and kind of broke up with me, but at the time, he was travelling away for work a lot.
'So I wasn't really seeing him. There wasn't really anything major that happened. It was just out of the blue.'
