Love Island’s Harry Cooksley was overcome with emotion during a chat with Dejon as he reflected on his antics in the villa following his steamy kiss with Yasmin Pettet
Love Island star Harry Cooksley burst into tears during a conversation with Dejon. The gold trader and semi-professional footballer was dealt a huge blow after his actions caused upset in the villa.
Harry, 30, was dumped by Helena Ford, 29, when it came to light that he’d kissed Yasmin Pettet. However, things became even more tricky when it emerged that he’d not only kissed her once, but went in for three kisses, leaving Helena in fits of rage after Harry attempted to lie about his kisses.
Helena fumed she was “done” with Harry after he’d embarrassed her, but he was quick to attempt to defend his actions, replying: “We both said we were open to exploring new connections.” Helena later flipped out, saying that their agreement wasn’t to include going to the Hideaway and “necking” someone three times.
But it appears that Harry’s actions have caught up with him, and while they weren’t documented on the main show, Love Island: Aftersun revealed his emotional conversation. Dejon said: “If I could have it my way, you and Helena would be together. You two get along, you two, I can clearly see there’s a connection between you two.
“What matters is what you want, innit?” Responding, Harry said: “Yeah, we just have, like, nothing, do you know what I mean?” as he wiped away tears. He added: “Where it’s just like, we were good and then it’s just like, she just can’t even be around me. It’s just weird, man.
“Like I’ll never be the same now after the way I’ve acted, do you know what I mean?” Their dramatic split sent the villa into chaos with Harry attempting to pursue a third female co-star just hours later. Fans have since reacted to the Aftersun clip which was also shared on social media.
“Helena probably would go back to him I think, I just think she likes him too much,” said one. A second went on to add: “Oh look, it’s the consequences of his own actions!” Meanwhile, a third typed: “What does he expect after his behaviour. I would never give him another chance!”
“Crocodile tears. You knew what you were doing and you didn’t care. Next!” fumed another. But it’s not just viewers who Harry has angered. His mum appeared on the spinoff and joked that she had made the decision to disown him multiple times due to his actions in the Majorcan villa.
Host Maya Jama commented: “Imagine he’s just living his normal life, talking to the boys, you forget you’ve got cameras on you.” But when asked if she approves of his actions in the villa, his mum hit back saying: “No! I’ve disowned him. On more than one occasion. Harry who? Harry who?
“Oh my God, it just rolls off his tongue, I don’t know. How can you forget the camera’s on you?” Prior to jetting out to the villa, Harry revealed he had warned his mum that he hadn’t ruled out having sex in the villa if the connection was there.
“It’s not out of the question [that I’ll have sex on TV],” he said, adding: “If it feels right, then I will – and I have briefed my mum as well. So yeah, if it feels right and it’s the right time,e I’m definitely open to it.”
