Harry is hoping to find love on the new and upcoming series of Love Island
Now the lad will be hoping to find love in Majorca as part of Maya Jama's squad.
But right up until the moment the cast of the 2025 series was revealed, a girl has claimed that Harry was dating her.
Heartbroken by the revelation that he'd be starring on Love Island she called him a 'liar,' and explained that she thought he was flying out to Bali, not to the villa in Mallorca.
She told The Sun: 'I was dating Harry until the moment he sat on the flight going to Love Island.
'He told me he was going to Bali and I genuinely thought we had a future together, but no. He is a huge manipulator and I'm not the only girl he's done this too.'
She continued to explain that other girls had spoken to her, claiming they, too, were dating Harry.
She added: 'Turns out he was dating a few people at once.'
She continued: 'He called me for three hours before he jetted off to Love Island, and told me he was going to Bali to build a life for our family. It's so scary how he lied to me, and I feel so broken. I've been completely blindsided by him.
'I also got a call from another girl after it came to light that he was going on the show, and she said he'd been dating her for seven months, at the same time that he was dating me.
Ten Years of Love Island
'I was even planning on meeting him out in Bali, because it was such a secure conversation and he never ended what we had, despite knowing he was going on Love Island.'
In a heartbreaking final revelation she added: 'I've never cried so much and felt so blindsided and lied to like this from another human being.'
ITV has responded to the claims, saying: 'All of our Islanders are single and looking for love," when approached for comment.
Ahead of Harry's arrival on the hit show, a source said: 'Harry's got the full package - a great, athletic bod and great chat.
'Love Island's ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane will be sure to impress as he plays away.'
When asked if he has a claim to fame, the Guildford-native said: "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."

The row then started after Emily accused Toni of talking behind her back and was warned by Meg that Toni had said she was being "nosey" and described her as "Little Miss Sunshine." Toni was also seen talking about Emily to Shakira, who agreed with Toni's views. Following their row, an exasperated Emily said she thought Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and "she's f****g nuts." But viewers watching at home accused the Islanders of bullying due to the many instances of gossiping about Emily without her knowledge. "Toni wanted to be the IT girl so bad and is now just trying anything to stay relevant causing problems when Emily hasn't done anything wrong, when actually she just looks like a bully," wrote one Love Island fan on X, formerly Twitter. Another added: "You all love Toni but last year you all hated Jess saying she was a bully?!?!?!" A third wrote: "Toni is like a school ground bully, poor Emily her and Shakira are 2 b*****s." And a fourth posted: "How can you call Toni a bully for that when Emily happily begs it w the bully trio."

Their chat might lead to a rekindling of their relationship with a preview of Sunday's episode showing the pair snogging enthusiastically. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
