Love Island has turned up the drama again, as fan-favorite couple Helena Ford and Harry Cooksley are reportedly done just days after they went exclusive.
The split came on the heels of a heated argument linked to Harry’s ongoing connection with his ex, Shakira Khan, leaving viewers shocked and social media buzzing.
The Explosive Fallout: What Went Down
Things hit a breaking point when Harry, despite being exclusive with Helena, was spotted comforting Shakira after her breakup with Conor Phillips. In a now-famous moment, he told her,
“I like talking to you… we haven’t talked to each other for ages. I really think it’s a good idea if we hang out on the outside.”
Helena, who just secured her exclusive status with Harry, was allegedly “gutted and furious” after hearing about their chat. A source from the villa revealed,
“That old triangle is very much back. During their argument, Harry confessed he still had feelings for Shakira. He insisted he didn’t plan to act on it, but Helena was done.”
The situation escalated quickly after Shakira ended things with Conor, mentioning her unresolved feelings for Harry. She told her friend Toni Laites,
“I can’t sit and kiss and cuddle someone all night when I’ve got [Harry] and [Helena] in the bed next to me.”
Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts, with one user commenting:
“Let me get this straight, Conor? You’re mad at Shakira for not being over the Harry situation, but you just admitted you’re still not over Megan #LoveIsland.”
Another fan slammed Harry’s actions, posting:
“Harry really went from exclusive to ex real quick. The audacity!”
Meanwhile, Shakira’s emotional well-being has raised alarms among fans, with many urging her to focus on her mental health. One tweet said:
“Shakira is emotionally drained and not okay. Love Island is responsible for her well-being.”
What’s Next for the Love Triangle?
Now that Harry and Helena have officially split, speculation is swirling about whether he’ll try to reconnect with Shakira. However, she had previously shot down his attempts, calling the idea of getting back together “a terrible idea.”
To complicate matters even more, Conor’s ex, Megan Forte Clarke, made a surprise return to the villa, setting up yet another possible love triangle.
