Love Island's Harry Cooksley Voices Sympathy for Ex Helena Ford on All Stars
Former Love Island contestant Harry Cooksley has openly admitted that he "feels sorry" for his ex, Helena Ford, following her recent emotional breakdown on the Love Island All Stars series. The revelation came during a candid TikTok discussion where Harry reflected on Helena's challenging experience in the villa.
Helena Ford's Difficult Villa Journey
Last year, viewers were captivated as Harry navigated connections with both Helena and his now-girlfriend, Shakira Khan. After being coupled with Helena for several weeks, fans believed he had made his choice, only for him to rekindle his romance with Shakira in the final stages of the show. Despite Helena's hopes for an "actual nice boy" this time around, her connection with Shaq Muhammad unfortunately fizzled out, leading to her emotional distress.
Harry Cooksley's TikTok Reaction
Shortly after episode 10 aired on Sunday, 25th January 2026, Harry took to TikTok to share his thoughts on the episode. Speaking about Helena's struggles, he expressed a desire to see someone fully commit to her. "I would love to see someone who would be straight in, all in, on Helena. Like I'd honestly love to see that, because I did feel sorry for her again," Harry stated. He emphasised that Helena needs a partner who is "all in for her" and genuinely wants to get to know her.
Harry further elaborated in the comments section, agreeing with fans who shared similar sentiments. When one fan commented, "I actually felt sorry for Helena…", he simply replied, "Same". Another fan expressed hope for someone to enter the villa for Helena, to which Harry responded, "Agreed".
Shaq Muhammad Ends Things with Helena
Despite initially forming a connection with Helena, Shaq Muhammad recently ended their relationship to pursue what he described as a "better connection" with Belle Hassan. This decision left Helena visibly upset, as she later reflected on the conversation with fellow islanders Jess Harding and Samie Elishi. In an emotional moment, she lamented, "I feel like this happens to me every time. No, but it's the same s--t every f-----g time." She questioned what was missing in her relationships, adding to the drama of the series.
This heartfelt admission from Harry Cooksley highlights the ongoing emotional dynamics within the Love Island All Stars villa, as contestants navigate past relationships and new connections under the public eye.
