Love Island's Harry comes face-to-face with Helena's parents after recent drama

AWKWARD!

Author: Alex RossPublished 29th Jul 2025

He may have survived the wrath of Shakira's mum and sister on last night's episode, but Love Island lothario Harry is in for another surprise on tonight's show (29th July), as he comes face-to-face with former flame Helena's mum and dad.

As the Islander's friends and family continue to enter the villa at different stages, Helena becomes emotional as she sees her parents.

Referencing her relationship with Harry, Helena’s dad Phil asks her: “Is it the real deal what’s being going on?”

Helena says: “From my end, it was so genuine and so real.”

Helena’s mum Jasmine comforts her and says: “Helena, you’re a winner.”

Helena then replies: “He’s not the prize.”

As they continue to catch up, Harry dares to approach Helena and her parents, with Helena's dad Phil saying: "Ah the man himself.”

Recognising his bad behaviour towards their daughter, Harry states: “I just wanted to come and say to you both in person - I apologise for a lot of my behaviour towards your daughter.”

Elsewhere in tonight's episode, following a chat with his best pal, Harry begins to question his friendship in the villa with Dejon. During a conversation with Shakira, Harry admits he's now wary of his true intentions, before Shakira adds that he should be there for him throughout the lows, not just the highs.

Despite the final fast approaching on Monday 4th August, it sounds like the producers aren't done with the drama just yet, dropping a game of 'couple goals' to stir the pot once more.

Yas receives a text which reads: 'Islanders. It’s time to reveal what you really think of each other in today’s challenge, couple goals! #SmilingButJudging #StandOnBusiness'

With official couple Meg and Dejon acting as hosts, the game sees the pair read out questions which the Islanders will all answer in their couples as they select which couple they believe it applies to most.

When the Islanders are asked the question: “Which couple would you not want to go on a city break with?” Blu and Helena choose Harry and Shakira. Blu says: “We went with Harry and Shakira. I think we all know the reason why - Harry might want to wife swap again.”

Not happy with the comment, Harry says: “You’re better than that.”

Things then turn more sour when the Islanders answer: “Which couple is most fake?”

Harry and Shakira choose Blu and Helena. When giving their reasons, Helena shouts: “That’s a cop out mate.”

Harry says: “Hold on. Blu - after the conversation we had this morning and for you to say you don’t want to go on a break because I’m going to wife swap, I think it is extremely fake.”

Blu says: “You’ve done it five times.”

When it comes to Toni and Cach’s answers, Toni says: “We’ve gone with Meg and Dejon. I feel like every time there is an argument between us you love to throw out ‘I thought we were friends’ - I feel like there have been many situations where you two have not been friends to me.”

Shockingly, Meg and Dejon choose Shakira and Harry, with Meg saying: “I feel like Shakira, you’ve made some very hurtful comments to me that we’re not very nice and I’ve always been there for you.”

Less than impressed with Meg's comments, Shakira says to Harry: “The gloves are off now.”

It appears the drama just never ends with this bunch of Islanders!
