Most read in News TV Another shows her with a personalised-plate £50,000 Range Rover Evoque. She often posts glamorous photos on nights out and on holiday in a bikini. The Sun have reached out to ITV for comment. VILLA AT WAR It's been chaos in the villa the last 24 hours as Helena stormed off from the group after a savage Love Island game saw Harry finally admitting to snogging Yasmin. She told him bluntly: "I'm waiting for you to shut up and kiss me." But despite their snog, neither Harry nor Yasmin admitted to it when they returned from the Hideaway. That was until their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night. Helena was left in shock as Yasmin revealed they'd kissed not once, but three times. And while Harry smirked, the stunning air hostess was backed by co-star Megan. 'You're a liar,' Megan shouted across the firepit to Harry, adding: 'You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****. 'She's sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go 'Oh no, I didn't do anything.'' Meg finished by telling Harry: 'Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.' After her sweary rant at the scandalous star, Helena got up and stormed off from the group as Remell said: 'I think we should wrap it up here.' While Helena could be seen storming off as Harry showed no sign of remorse. There were more fireworks earlier in the game when it was revealed Yasmin said she'd like Harry to "tip her upside down". Elsewhere, Conor read out a comment from Dejon that ruffled Meg's feathers. Dejon previously told the boys about Yasmin: "She's never orgasmed, so if I give her her first orgasm, then she'll fall in love." After Conor read out the comment, Yasmin said to the group: "I mean, if you can make me orgasm, fair play. I probably will fall in love." Things go from bad to worse when Remell read out a remark that Harry made to the boys about wanting to kiss Yasmin. Helena yelled: "What the f*** is going on here?" Megan exclaimed: "He tells you f*** all and that's why, you need to find out and hear it for yourself."
