LOVE Island fans are convinced Harry Cooksley may not be over Helena Ford, after a moment during their emotional goodbye saw him grabbing her bum.
The pair officially ended their relationship in Tuesday night’s episode, following several days of tension after the Grafties revealed Harry’s flirtation with Shakira Khan.
Despite being exclusive with Helena at the time, Harry admitted to still having feelings for Shakira.
Helena, visibly upset, told Harry she wanted nothing more to do with him.
She said: "You’re so selfish, you’ve literally broken my heart, Harry. I don’t want any association with you ever again.”
After exchanging emotional words and embracing in the bedroom, viewers noticed Harry’s hand lingered on Helena’s bum during the hug.
Many took to social media to react.
One shared on X, formerly Twitter: "Nah sorry did I just catch Harry still grab Helena’s bum I cba."
Another added: "Ah ah does he have to touch her bum to hug?” with a third saying: “Grabbing her bum is MAD!”
A final asked: "Why did Harry Grab Helena’s bum in that hug?"
The hug followed a string of emotional moments for the pair, including Helena telling Harry: "My friends don't treat me like that. I don't think you have an ounce of respect for me, you've literally ruined everything for me in here."
She added: "I literally don't want anything to do with you Harry."
That's when the footballers couldn't help but tear up after listening to her resounding words of rejection.
Helena added: "I feel like I had something genuine in here and it's like obviously it wasn't.
"I just feel so stupid because you clearly haven't felt the same as I felt about you this whole time."
She couldn't help but wrap her arms around his neck in a gesture of pity as she caressed his face one more time.
As they let go she exclaimed: "It's where the journey ends my darling!"
Later on, the pair were in the bedroom together where they wrapped their arms around one another for one final hug goodbye.
But that night, Helena once again broke down in tears to Meg and Dejon.
