Love Island's Harry Cooksley's football team under fire over 'disgusting' Shakira video
Even the manager of Harry Cooksley's team Farnham Town has been slammed online for the way he and his players speak about Love Island's Shakira Khan and Helena Ford Farnham Town have come under fire after putting together a vile video of Harry Cooksley's team-mates and manager degrading the two women he has been linked to on Love Island. The ITV2 dating show is just days away from this year's grand finale and the part-time player has caught the eye of both Shakira Khan and Helena Ford amongst others during his time in the villa. So his club, who play in the Southern Premier League, asked his pals back in the UK which woman he is better suited to. Farnham posted the results on TikTok and despite since deleting the clip, there was outrage at some of the replies from the footballers and coaches after it surfaced again. One player said: "He wants either Beyonce, or he wants Bonnie Blue" before saying Helena "would be good in bed" and offering more grim guidance. Another spoke to the camera and said: "He thinks Shakira is girlfriend material, but really, really, really wants to have sex with Helena." Even manager Paul Johnson waded in, saying: "Bin off Shakira, 100 per cent. She's a drip, nosey b***h." The comments kept on coming and a squad member went on: "Get rid of Shakira, she is as annoying as f**k" as another simply added: "I don't care, just get him back here and get him running." The clip found its way onto X and was slammed by many online. One wrote on the social media platform: "First time seeing this & I'm horrified, but not surprised! I have a 25yr old son who wouldn't dream of speaking like this about women. Who dragged up these cretins?!" Another said: "Hate it. disgusting. a sickness on society. where's antiseptic for my eyes?!" A third commented: "And people wonder why Harry acts like he does." On TikTok, someone else told the club they need to offer "serious education" for the "absolute buffoons". MirrorOnline have approached Farnham Town for comment. Love Island fans are fearing for Harry as the Meet The Family segment of the competition returns. It is almost that time again where loved ones of the contestants arrive at the villa to assess the new relationships that have been developing on screen. ITV confirmed the return of the segment on Sunday night's edition, and it is expected to air tonight. One fan, who was eager to see the mother of Shakira Khan amid her drama with footballer Harry, wrote: "I can't wait for meet the parents if Toni and Shakiras moms am going in."(sic) It's no wonder that some fans are looking forward to seeing Shakira's mother, as last night they were quick to point out the "game plan" of Harry after yet more drama involving the 30 year old. Despite being coupled up with Helena, Harry has continuously shared cheeky and flirtatious chat with other girls in the villa. And his ways have caused former partner Shakira's head to be turned despite being in a pair with Conor. Another fan savagely predicted: "finally caught up to love island UK…Harry, you're going straight to hell' as the famous section of the show geared up to return. One viewer felt so passionate about not wanting Harry and Shakira to be together that they admitted they 'not watch the rest' of the series if that is the way things go. In a promo for the new episode, the mother of contestant Toni Laites is seen making an entrance and is heard bellowing: "Is Toni here?" as she arrived on set. Spotting her mother, Toni, who was in a somewhat steady relationship with Harrison Solomon prior to his exit, but is now coupled up with CachMercer , gasps and runs away. Upon seeing the teaser, viewers flooded social media to make their excitement known, and one claimed that it is set to be the 'messiest' Meet the Family yet. Love Island 2025 airs every night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX.

They narrowly missed be rumbled as they sneaked out of the bedroom SECRET MOTIVE Love Island fans figure out 'real reason' Harry snuck off to the Hideaway with Helena Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans are convinced they're worked the 'real reason' Harry takes Helena into the Hideaway tonight. The Sun revealed this week that air hostess Helena, 29, and semi-pro footballer Harry, 30, spent the night together in the hidden suite on Monday. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Love Island fans have worked out why Harry took Helena to the Hideaway Credit: ITV 4 Harry suggests to Helena that they sneak off to the Hideaway Credit: ITV It meant that it was just 56 hours after the new series kicked off, making it the quickest Hideaway sleepover in Love Island history. On last night's show, Shakira, who is coupled up with Harry, visited the Hideaway with Blu, who is with Alima. The pair shocked fans as they shared a kiss just minutes into entering the cosy private area. And on Thursday's instalment, Harry finds out about their snog from fellow Islander Dejon, leaving him gobsmacked. Harry then suggests to Helena that they sneak off to the Hideaway in the middle of the night. They narrowly missed be rumbled after a few Islanders spotted them leaving the bedroom together. But some fans think Harry is using Helena to get back at Shakira for kissing Blu. One wrote: "Harry taking Helena to the hideaway just to get at Shakira, get them off my screen." A second posted: "Oh Harry playing around…are any of those boys serious?" Love Island viewers 'turn on' Islander as they spot 'snide' comment A third said: "Harry is just taking Helena into the Hideaway to make Shakira jealous." Someone else said: "I think Harry and Helena make sense. He doesn't like her, he just wants a back up in case Shakira wants someone else." A source said: 'This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island's twelve series history - and what a gorgeous pair to do so. 'In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established. 'But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite. 'It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the 'no invite needed' and explore their connection. 'The scenes will play out later this week, but bosses are unlikely to show anything too naughty, as is the show's usual approach.' Helena, who is pals with Piers Morgan's son Spencer and Gary Lineker's son George on the outside, had fans in stitches on Monday night's launch when she described her type as a 'four out of ten that is funny.' Harry, who is a commodities trader, has been described as The Surrey Zidane by fans of his team, Farnham Town. He's scored with Helena after his original coupling, Sophie Lee left the villa as part of a show twist. 4 Blu took Shakira into the Hideaway last night Credit: Eroteme

Love Island's Harry Cooksley: Everything to know about the 2025 contestant - age, job, Instagram & latest news
Season 12 of Love Island is currently underway, and it's all happening in the villa. One of the contestants who is causing a little bit of tension right now is semi-professional footballer, gold trader and model Harry Cooksley. Harry was picked by Shakira Khan (who currently has about five guys interested in her, including new boy Shea Mannings) after Toni Laites stole Ben Holbrough from her and put her at risk of going home. Harry seemed very pleased that he'd been picked, but on Wednesday night's episode, he got a telling off from Shakira after the girls noticed that he was rubbing both hers and Helena's legs during the game of dares. As Love Island continues, read on for everything you need to know about Harry, including what his life is like outside of the show. BTW, Harry is England footballer Declan Rice's body double! Job: Gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model Lives: Guildford Harry Cooksley is one of the contestants on this year's Love Island. He was part of the starting line-up and was originally in a couple with Sophie Lee, before she was dumped from the villa. Outside of the villa, Harry works as a gold trader, semi-professional footballer and model, particularly as England footballer Declan Rice's body double. When asked what his claim to fame is, Harry said ahead of the show: "I'm the body double for Declan Rice. So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me. You'll never see my face, but you'll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing." Harry is 30-years-old, and the oldest Islander on season 12 so far. Shakira said she chose Harry because of his age and thought that he might be mature, but after he was spotted rubbing both her and Helena's legs, she's not too sure anymore. He is. You can follow Harry at harrycooksley8, where he currently has just over 15k followers - a number that's sure to grow following his Love Island stint. Harry is currently in a couple with Shakira Khan, but how long they'll stay in this couple remains to be seen. He's also been getting to know Helena Ford, and was previously in a couple with Sophie Lee before she was dumped. Harry currently plays for Farnham Town as a midfielder. He joined from Hartley Witney in May 2023. Other previous clubs include Aldershot Town, Farnborough and a stint in Austria for FC Pinzgau. On Farnham Town's official website, Harry's player profile reads: "Cooksley is a midfield maestro, known for his sensational ball-playing abilities. The midfielder joined from Hartley Wintney in May 2023 having finished the campaign playing at Step Three. "The orchestrator whips in a mean dead ball and is the designated penalty taker at the club." Love Island airs on ITV2 at 9pm on weekdays and Sundays.
