LOVE Island’s Harriett Blackmore has told how footballers hit on her – even though she had a boyfriend at the time.
The 24-year-old dancer, from Brighton, insisted she split from her boyfriend of three years Josh Curling, 25, months before entering the villa – after she was accused of cheating on her ex.
However Harriett, who is now coupled up with sweet shop owner Sean Stone, 24, has revealed that she received messages from sports stars even during her relationship.
She told The Sun on Sunday: “A few footballers but, as I said, I was with my boyfriend of three years at the time so I never really responded.
“There have been a few flirts here and there but I think that is normal – if you don’t have a footballer in your direct messages at some point in your life you would probably be lying.
Pressed on names, she teased: “I am going to keep that to myself…”
Shortly after it was announced dancer Harriett would be taking part on the show, fans rushed to social media to accuse her of having a secret boyfriend.
But she addressed the split, telling The Sun: “I broke up recently with my boyfriend in January, so about four months ago.
“We remained in contact because we were together for such a long time.”
Dancer and personal shopper Harriett is one of the singletons to join the villa this season – telling viewers that she will “bring the drama”.
