And, like, the level of respect isn’t there.<\/p>\n “Because for me, what is the crack like? What’s the story like? Is it just sort of a thing where you want what you can’t have?<\/p>\n “Why are you doing this? Because you’re prodding her [Shakira], because she’s trying to get over [you] and she’s trying to move on, but flirting with her and stuff is still prodding her. <\/p>\n “And so what is like? What is that for? I’m so close to Shakira, [I can see] how actually hurt she is, her experience in here is nearly ruined. <\/p>\n “Then obviously having a situation, like her experiences here is nearly going to be ruined if she doesn’t get over this.” <\/p>\n He added: “And for what reason like just, that’s what I’m trying to know.”<\/p>\n Love Island star Harry makes very honest confession to Shakira as they chat after explosive Grafties and Helena split<\/p>\n Harry then said that hearing what Shakira had to say in their conversation on the steps inside the villa “changed things for him”.<\/p>\n But Conor warned Harry to properly think about the connection he does share with Helena before he makes a rash decision. <\/p>\n “Just before you do anything with Helena, just think about honestly what you do want, because I don’t know if Shakira will [get back with you],” he continued.<\/p>\n “I’m only trying to say that as a friend, it’s just that f******, you might end up with nobody. <\/p>\n Love Island 2025 full lineup<\/p>\n Harry Cooksley<\/a>: A 30-year-old footballer with charm to spare.Shakira Khan<\/a>: A 22-year-old Manchester-based model, ready to turn heads.Megan Moore<\/a>: A payroll specialist from Southampton, looking for someone tall and stylish.Alima Gagigo<\/a>: International business graduate with brains and ambition.Tommy Bradley<\/a>: A gym enthusiast with a big heart.Helena Ford<\/a>: A Londoner with celebrity connections, aiming to find someone funny or Northern.Ben Holbrough:<\/a> A model ready to make waves.Dejon Noel-Williams<\/a>: A personal trainer and semi-pro footballer, following in his footballer father\u2019s footsteps.Aaron Buckett<\/a>: A towering 6\u20195\u201d personal trainer.Conor Phillips<\/a>: A 25-year-old Irish rugby pro.Antonia Laites<\/a>: Love Island\u2019s first bombshell revealed as sexy Las Vegas pool party waitress.Yasmin Pettet<\/a>: The 24-year-old bombshell hails from London and works as a commercial banking executive.Emily Moran<\/a>: Bombshell Welsh brunette from the same town as Love Island 2024 alumni Nicole Samuel.Harrison Solomon<\/a>: Pro footballer and model entering Love Island 2025 as a bombshell.Giorgio Russo<\/a>: The 30-year-old will be spending his summer in the sun, potentially his sister Alessia’s successful tournament at the Euros in Switzerland.Yaz Broom<\/a>: Professional DJ from Manchester who appeared on X Factor 2016 in girl group Four of Diamonds.Andrada Pop<\/a>: Miss Bikini Ireland 2019 winner who hails from Dublin and works as a nail technician and personal trainer.Emma Munro: Harry Cooksley’s ex who entered as a bombshell and works as a hydrogeologist.<\/p>\n Departures:<\/p>\n Kyle Ashman<\/a>: Axed after an arrest over a machete attack emerged.
