Every series of Love Island always has one boy who just can’t make up his mind about what he wants and this year, that title goes to Harry Cooksley.

The OG Love Island 2025 boy has been causing chaos in the villa left, right and centre after initially coupling up with Sophie Lee on day one before being stolen by Shakira Khan and sneaking off to the Hideaway with Helena Ford.

Harry recoupled with Helena and things seemed to be going well but then he got seriously flirty with Yasmin Pettet on numerous occasions and wasn’t entirely honest with Helena, leading her to call things off.

He’s seemingly set his sights on Shakira once again, but it seems he could still have some lingering feelings once again as an unseen clip shown on last night’s Aftersun showed Harry finally appearing remorseful for his actions.

The clip was seemingly filmed after the recoupling which will air in tonight’s episode (Monday 23 June) and shows Harry sitting at the fire pit confiding in Dejon Noel-Williams.

‘If I could have it my way, you and Helena would be together. You two get along, I can clearly see there’s a connection between you two,’ Dejon tells Harry. ‘What matters is what you want, init.’

A clearly emotional Harry replies, ‘We just have nothing, do you know what I mean?’

The semi-pro footballer, model and gold trader can then be seen wiping away tears as Dejon puts an arm around him.

‘We were good and now she can’t even be around me, geez,’ Harry adds. ‘It’s just weird, man. Like it will never be the same now after the way I’ve acted. Do you know what I mean?’

Fans were divided in the comments section, with one writing, ‘They are so well suited and that’s the thing. Barbie and Ken!! xx,’ while another added, ‘Why is crying when he created this situation himself.’
