Love Island fans speculate Harry's 'game plan' after savage recoupling decision
Love Island viewers were quick to highlight the "game plan" of Harry Cooksley following yet more drama involving the 30-year-old Islander. Despite being coupled up with Helena, Harry has repeatedly engaged in cheeky and flirtatious banter with other girls in the villa.
His ways have caused his former partner Shakira's attention to wander to him, despite being in a pair with Conor. After Friday night's dramatic events, fans are convinced they've figured out Harry's game as a shocking recoupling unfolded on last night's episode.
Harry was left in tears after a tense conversation with Helena, who told him she couldn't remain friends with him - either in the villa or on the outside. While the boys showed their support as he sulked, the recoupling had fans all thinking the same thing. With only Helena and Shakira left waiting to be picked, Harry admitted: 'I've disappointed myself,' as he acknowledged that he knows he's not "perfect".
He revealed he had "chosen to ignore" the emotions he felt for Shakira as he revealed whether he was leaving the villa solo, or heading back alongside her. He made his choice, with Shakira hugging him and leaving Helena standing in front of the fire pit alone - leaving the rest of the Islanders shocked with his speech, the Mirror reports.
After Blu chose Helena, she listened to what he had to say but quickly got up and walked away from the fire pit. Meanwhile, fans took to social media to share their reactions.
One user on X, formally known as Twitter, stated: "Harry knows Shakira is most popular with the public, his game plan working to a tee."
While other viewers made their feelings crystal clear, as one user admitted: "If there's a vote I'm voting Harry and Shakira with no shame." A second added: "Just watch! People will vote for Harry and Shakira," while a third penned: "Yes Harry, beautiful speech, you're back in the game. Team Harry and Shakira"
On Friday's episode, Harry was exposed to the villa for his actions that had caused a divide between the girls for weeks. He had played Shakira and Helena against each other several different times, sitting back whilst Helena and Shakira turned their triangle tensions on each other.
Harry and Helena had become exclusive, leaving Shakira feeling devastated and completely heartbroken in recent weeks.
Yet just one day after progressing their romance, Harry was dropping hints to Dejon about still fancying Shakira. He also hitted he wasn't particularly keen on Helena, before seemingly attempting to provoke an argument with her during the Grafties.
The cringeworthy moments unfolding on screen saw Helena call time on their relationship permanently. His remarks about "loving" his former girlfriend Emma and his flirtations with others, plus his conversations with Shakira, all came to light during the villa's awards ceremony.
The footballer also made a dig about having a better experience with Shakira compared to Helena.
Helena eventually branded Harry "a f*****g joke". She then declared: "Shakira doesn't want you, I don't want you." The other Islanders couldn't help but smirk as Helena appeared to finish things once and for all.

Love Island final six 'leaked' as fans are convinced they know who's been dumped
Love Island fans are convinced they know who has been dumped from the villa ahead of the final. Anticipation is high for another enthralling episode of Love Island tonight, with a couple facing the harsh reality of being axed from the Island mere days before the grand finale. Eagle-eyed fans are now speculating that Helena and Blu have been given the boot after footage of Dejon, Harry, Cach, Jamie, Conor, and Ty filming in Mallorca's streets surfaced on TikTok. The clip shows the lads strolling down the street for the cameras, conspicuously without Blu. Given that Helena and Blu were the only pair not romantically linked, following Harry's admission of lingering feelings for his ex, Shakira, their absence has raised eyebrows. One viewer exclaimed on social media: "So Blu has gone then!" while another surmised: "Omg that means Blu and Helena have been dumped!" Helena's journey on the show has been fraught with emotion, with recent scenes showing her distress over her breakup with Harry. The villa and viewers alike were stunned when Harry confessed his unresolved emotions for Shakira, despite recently committing to an exclusive relationship with Helena, reports the Mirror. The bombshell left Helena in tears, compelling her to partner up with Blu, who had made a comeback to the villa after previously being voted off. Megan also made a return with Blu and has since reignited her romance with Conor. Yet, last night's episode threw viewers for a loop as Blu and Megan chatted about life outside the villa with their fellow Islanders. Blu revealed to Harry and Dejon that Megan was absolutely "fuming" after spotting her ex Tommy with Casa Amor newcomer Lucy at Tape nightclub. Conor then challenged Megan about her communication with Tommy beyond the villa, prompting her to share the details. She admitted to Conor that they'd exchanged some flirty messages. Meanwhile, Blu informed Harry and Dejon that Shakira and Toni were "really loved" by viewers, whilst the remaining contestants appeared like "mean girls" to the public. Viewers were completely puzzled by these revelations, with one taking to X, previously Twitter, to question: "Why would they allow Blu to reveal how the public feels? ? It goes against the whole point of contestants not allowed contact with the outside world." Tonight's savage elimination arrives just days ahead of the final, which broadcasts at 9pm on ITV2 this Monday, August 4.
