It comes after the Grafties showed Harry pursuing Shakira while still with Helena

The accusations came after the notorious Grafties Awards episode aired, as fans clocked how the women in the villa started to realise footballer Harry had been the one pursuing Shakira all along.
Harry had long been coupled up with Helena, but they decided to split up on Sunday's episode, and he ended up recoupling up with Shakira, after it was revealed during the Grafties that he still had feelings for her.
But now Love Island fans have grown suspicious of what they are being shown, especially when it comes to what the Islander women were saying about Shakira.
Some speculated that the women seemed to overcompensate by blaming Harry after the Grafties, because they had bad-mouthed Shakira before the truth was revealed.
One fan wrote on Reddit: "The Grafties showed multiple times that it was Harry that was pursuing Shakira while she kept shutting it down (or trying to)... I immediately had a feeling they've [the other women] been putting all the blame on Shakira even more than what we saw.
"But my guess is they were even more trash talking Shakira on how she is trying to steal Harry, and it's 'all her doing'.. otherwise there was no reason to say this so strongly so many times.
"What do you guys think? I like to try and 'outsmart' the producers by guessing what they edit out."
One person replied: "I imagine they all kept thinking Shakira was the one initiating these conversations - when it was all Harry. But agree OP there could have been even more side chats on this for this to fully make sense."
Another added: "You're so right! Why else say that if they didn't all blame her or had some misgivings about Shakira.
"What people don't understand, sometimes very small things that aren't active bullying can make people feel bad and it's not something you can sum up in a clip like a mean comment...
Love Island star Harry kisses Shakira's neck and goes in for a snog in very intimate snuggling moment
"These are all really small things you can't really put into a short clip but you actively feel it when it happens to you."
After the Grafties, Harry admitted that he still had feelings for Shakira, despite being exclusive with Helena.
Then Shakira ended her couple partnership with Conor, saying she had suppressed her feelings towards Harry.
Harry and Helena ended up going their separate ways in emotional scenes.
Helena was then picked by Blu to recouple with after the bombshell was brought back in to the villa in a surprise move.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

ITV comedy episode slapped with trigger warning 45 years after original release
An episode of the longrunning ITV comedy-drama Minder has been labelled with a content warning on the ITVX platform over the outdated stereotypes used. Minder ran from 1979 to 1994 and was a cultural staple of the Thatcher years, focusing on the London criminal underworld, with dodgy entrepreneur Arthur Daley and his 'minder' sidekick Terry taking centre stage. The show starred the late Dennis Waterman, George Cole and Glynn Edwards. Gary Webster replaced Waterman in the final two series of the show – which was also revived in 2009 with Shane Richie starring as Arthur Daley's nephew Archie. Certain episodes on the ITVX streamer, which has all 10 series of the show free to watch, now have a parental guidance warning attached. One example is the 1980 episode Whose Wife Is It Anyway?, which has been labelled as containing 'offensive language, outmoded sexual stereotypes and some violence'. The episode synopsis reads: 'Terry turns his hand to selling antiques when Arthur's friend Alex is hospitalised following a hit-and-run. Was it definitely an accident?' This series two episode, which aired in 1980, saw Arthur instruct his muscle Terry to protect a gay couple who run an antique shop. The episode contains a number of slurs referring to gay men. The show's first ever episode, Gunfight at the OK Launderette, also contains a warning for 'violence, moderate language and nudity'. George Cole's Daley has been hailed as a British TV icon, with catchphrases (''er indoors', 'the world is your lobster', 'nice little earner') that went on to become common parlance. Cole, who died aged 90 in 2015 after a short illness, also became an unlikely pop star as a result of the show, hitting the charts in 1983 with the novelty Christmas hit What Are We Gonna Get For 'Er Indoors – a reference to Daley's onscreen wife who never actually appeared in Minder. Waterman died aged 74 in 2022, after a career spanning 60 years. He had varied roles in comedy, drama, and horror, after finding fame as a teenager in BBC drama William. More Trending He became well known for his role as tough-nut cop Detective Sergeant George Carter opposite John Thaw in ITV's police drama The Sweeney. He went on to star as bodyguard Terry McCann in Minder and landed a long-running role as Gerry Standing in New Tricks from 2003 to 2015. The star was also known for singing the iconic theme tune for New Tricks and Minder. View More » Metro contacted ITV for comment. Got a story?

Helena's parting message to ex Harry after being dumped from Love Island villa proves theory, claim fans
Blu also left the villa in last night's double elimination GRACIOUS GOODBYE Helena's parting message to ex Harry after being dumped from Love Island villa proves theory, claim fans Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HELENA had a parting message for ex Harry after being dump-ed from the Love Island villa - and fans think it proves one of their theories. Helena had her fair share of ups and downs with the public on Love Island, but fans were unable to get enough of her and her 'adorable dad'. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Helena was booted out of the Love Island villa last night 5 She formerly dated Harry on the show However, viewers weren't the most fond of her relationship with 'mean girl' Meg Moore, believing she would have been so much nicer if they hadn't become friends. As Helena was eliminated from Love Island last night, the former cabin crew member showed a softer side on-screen that left those watching wishing they had got to know her more. After embracing her former villa-mates, Helena had a sweet, concise parting message to her ex Harry - who had been involved in a dramatic love triangle with both herself and Shakira. 'Look after Shakira,' Helena said. Despite being exclusive with Helena only days prior before the couple split, Harry admitted to still also having feelings for Shakira. Taking a moment to ask Harry to look out for Shakira was a touching gesture, especially as Helena and Shakira had the occasional spat, and Shakira and Helena's friend, Meg, were on horrible terms leading to one of the 'biggest feuds in Love Island history'. Taking to X, one viewer wrote: "Whatever you think of Helena, her walking out by saying to Harry 'be good to Shakira' is lovely. She's not the mean girl a lot of people try to make her out to be." Another added: "helena and shakira hug is so sweet." A third tweeted: "Helena telling Harry to 'be good to Shakira' after everything was a really nice thing to do." That same night on the show, Shakira and Meg made it crystal clear how they felt about one another. Love Island fury as couple are brutally axed from the villa after 'leaked' video 'spoils' the result for fans 'You won't be my friend on the outside,' said Meg. Shakira replied: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' Helena often approached Meg and partner Dejon after fall outs with ex Harry, growing closer to the rival couple the more they confided in one another. Though Meg was branded as the 'alpha mean girl', fan theories believed she rubbed off on Helena, encouraging her to become more of a gossip behind the other girl's backs. 5 Helena was caught in a love triangle with Shakira and Harry 5 Meg was one of Helena's best friends in the villa

Emmerdale fans distracted by glaring baby bump blunder as actress fails to hide her real-life pregnancy
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EMMERDALE fans were left seriously distracted by actress Georgia Jay as she flaunted her baby bump on screen. The star, who plays Steph Milligan, in the ITV soap opera is currently expecting her first child in real life and has been doing all she can to hide her bump from view on-screen. 3 Steph Milligan actress Georgia Jay had a blunder as she showed off her baby bump on Emmerdale Credit: ITV 3 She had attempted to hide it with her bag Credit: ITV However, viewers of the show were left distracted when Georgia's bump could be seen in full view by all to see. During a scene in the cafe, Steph could be seen wearing an over-shirt as well as carrying a huge bag which she conveniently placed over her stomach. However, as she stood up to leave her table, she failed to keep the bag above her stomach which left her huge bump on full display. It caused fans to quickly react as some were left confused if Steph was also supposed to be pregnant in the show. Whilst Steph is not currently believed to be pregnant, others wondered if it was due to be included in an upcoming storyline. Writing on X, one viewer said: "I am so confused right now. Actress playing Steph is pregnant IRL, but I'm not sure if her character is supposed to be pregnant as well." Another added: "Not doing a very good job of hiding Steph's bump there are they? Unless they're going to include it in a storyline.." A third then penned: "They are clearly making no attempt to hide the fact that Steph is about to make her exit for Mat leave very soon!" Before a fourth commented: "Steph is hiding her pregnancy well. Well sort of, with bags and laptops." Steph joined the show late last year and has seen her storylines reveal that her biological father is the man that she believed was her grandfather, Anthony Fox. Emmerdale star Joe Absolom teases dark storyline for drug dealer villain Anthony fathered Steph after he raped his own daughter Ruby whilst she was a teenager in a horrifying pattern of sexual abuse. Georgia is due to exit Emmerdale later this year owing to her pregnancy. A source said: 'Everyone's thrilled for Georgia and can't wait to see her back when she's ready. 'Steph's exit will happen in the next few weeks and see her flee abroad in typically dramatic fashion. 'But with Anthony's body still out there, there's a huge storyline still to be wrapped up for when she returns.' Actress Georgia announced her pregnancy last month after fans began to notice her growing bump on screen.
