IT’S been an intense week of drama on this series of Love Island, with the Grafties awards revealing Harry Cooksley’s antics behind his partner Helena Ford’s back.
As well as his flirting with ex Shakira Khan and new bombshell Angel Swift, the footballer was also seen telling his ex Emma Munro that he still loves her, prior to her being dumped from the island.

At the time, Emma tried telling Helena what Harry had told her but the besotted star refused to believe her.
However, after seeing the clip for herself, Helena had said on Friday’s episode that she wished she could apologise to her former love rival.
Now Emma, who received a pre-villa glow up, has broken her silence and responded to Helena’s comment.
Taking to TikTok, the brunette beauty expressed: “Hey guys, I’m just jumping on here to address tonight’s episode where Helena said she owes me an apology.
“I just wanted to say that she absolutely doesn’t, there is no need to apologise to me for how she spoke to me. We both could have handled things better and I’m no angel.”
Proving there was no issue between them, she concluded: “So no need to apologise, all good, no bad blood.”
Harry was left stunned when he realised Emma was one of the Casa Amor bombshells as he was seen saying: “Oh my god, it's my ex.”
Despite his flirty tactics, Emma was adamant that she didn’t want to get back with him and opted to get know Conor Phillips.
Conor brought Emma back to the main villa after Casa, while Harry decided to stay coupled up with Helena.
But just days after returning, Harry and Emma enjoyed multiple flirty conversations, much to the dismay of an unamused Helena.
Love Island star Harry FINALLY admits to how he really feels about Helena after explosive love triangle
It all came to a head on Friday night as Helena was forced to watch Harry crack on with multiple women behind her back and decided to end things with him for good.
In one of the clips, Harry was seen discussing going on a date with Emma as they joked about coupling up and taking home the cash prize.
Helena retorted: “You’re a f*****g joke Harry,” as he asked: “Why am I a joke?”
She hit back: “Every single time you get up on the screen, you just embarrass me every time, I feel stupid.
“After every single conversation I have to watch you have with people,” as he responded: “We’ve been doing that for six and a half weeks.”
Helena fumed: “I didn’t expect you to be sitting with your ex-girlfriend and saying you’ll get back into bed with one another on the outside.
“You just don’t shut things down, you entertain everything and everyone.”
Harry revealed he still had feelings for Shakira as Helena told him that Shakira wouldn’t get back with him and she didn’t want him either, before storming off.
The rest of the villa decided to stay clear of him, including his best pal Dejon Noel-Williams, leading to Harry deciding to sleep on the day beds outside on his own.
