LOVE Island’s Harriet Blackmore is doing what it takes to bag her man – and has set her sights on Joey Essex.
In a teaser for tonight’s episode, Harriet is seen pulling bombshell Joey for a chat, with the pair sneaking off to the Hideaway for some alone time.
Sitting on a bench together, Harriet flatly tells Joey: “Well I do fancy you, I think I made that a bit obvious now.”
Joey then encourages Harriet to use her dancing skills, with her performing a sexy routine just for him.
Soon, they’re playfully spanking each other away from prying eyes.
While this is going on, Samantha – who is now coupled up with Joey after he stole her from Sam Taylor last night– is seen seething as she speaks to the other members of the house.
“It’s spiteful isn’t it? And it’s petty,” Samantha tells a shocked Nicole, who stands there open-mouthed.
Nicole eventually responds: “I think that’s massively out of order.”
And it seems like fans feel the same way, taking to X (formerly Twitter) in order to share their shock at the chain of events.
“Protect Samantha, get Harriet out now #Loveisland she is not a girls girl on any way shape or form and is giving pick me vibes,” said one fan.
“Harriet’s bringing the drama, but she’s moving way too mad! Going to the hideaway with Joey so soon???!” said a second.
“There was a reason why I had bad vibes off Harriet and the preview for tomorrow night is the reason why I know a snake when I see one,” noted a third.
“Joey and Harriet going to the Hideway while he’s coupled up with Samantha?! Harriet vs Samantha?! THIS ABOUT TO BE A MESS AND IM HERE FOR IT,” added a fourth.
While a fifth wrote: “Trying to understand Harriet’s tactics here what a slimey little snake…”
Joey and Harriet’s flirtation happened just hours after the former Towie star chose to couple up with Samantha.
This resulted in the first dumping of the series, with Sam Taylor being sent home as he was the only single man in the villa.
Love Island 2024 couples
The Islanders are all 'coupled up' in the villa.
The couples so far include:
- Mimii Ngulube and Munveer Jabbal.
- Nicole Samuel and Sean Stone.
- Jess White and Ronnie Vint.
- Patsy Field and Ayo Odukoya.
- Samantha Kenny and Joey Essex.
- Harriet Blackmore and Ciaran Davies.
Joey was left with his head in his hands as he realised what he’d done.
Fans were left furious by the decision, insisting that Joey had chosen the wrong person and the wrong guy had gone home.
With the show only two days in, it’s still anyone’s game as romances begin to take shape.
