LOVE Island fans could not believe upcoming contestant Harriett Blackmore’s ‘real age’ after she was announced for the villa.
The star’s background information was revealed along with several other contestants who are set to enter the villa by the end of the week.
Eagle eyed viewers who have kept up to date with the upcoming line-up were shocked to discover that Harriet, who they thought was older, was actually just 24-years-old.
One user took to X, formerly known as Twitter and wrote: “There’s no way she’s 24 she looks so much older.”
Whilst another pointing out that it must just be a bad photo added: “This photo makes her look like a 40 year old.”
“She looks 40,” echoed another user.
And a fourth troll wrote: “I’m glad they’ve started to add 30/40 year olds this year.”
The Brighton based dancer has also been accused of having a secret boyfriend ahead of entering the Love Island villa.
After the line-up was revealed, many fans rushed to social media to insist Harriett has a famous former Strictly star pal and that she isn’t totally single.
One person wrote: “She’s one of Saffron Barker’s best friends and I always see her with her man. Like literally recently I’ve seen a story of her and her man, so I’m confused.”
And another said: “She had a boyfriend who she put on her IG story very recently.”
As well as being a dancer Harriett works as a personal shopper and has revealed that one of her most recent jobs involved shopping for a well-known musical artist.
She said: “Being a bit of an IT girl in Brighton, I’ve done personal shopping for the rapper Arrdee.”
Harriett also confessed that Saffron – who starred on Strictly in 2019 – is “one of her best friends”.
Love Island returns to our screens on June 3, 2024 at 9pm. Episodes will then continue at the same time from Sunday to Friday.
Indiyah Polack, Amy Hart and Chris Taylor are set to host the Love Island: The Morning After podcast.
