Love Island’s Harry Cooksley dodges and deflects in car-crash TV moment as he’s confronted over secretly dating Montana Brown’s close friend days before filming… after ‘love letter’ bombshell paints him as the series’ ultimate red flag - suong
Love Island runner-up Harry Cooksley has admitted he was dating a friend of Montana Brown just days before stepping foot in the villa.
The reality star, 30, faced the awkward confession after Montana claimed he had been romancing her close friend right up until filming began.
The ex-contestant, who appeared in series three of the dating show, dropped the bombshell on TikTok hours before last week's final, telling her followers not to back Harry for the win.
The rumour mill went into overdrive, and just days later Harry was grilled about the claims during an appearance on This Morning alongside his partner Shakira.
Host Emma Willis asked if he could respond to the allegations that had been thrown at him - something Harry didn't deny.
Dressed in a stripy knitted white vest and brown trousers he admitted: 'Yeah, I was dating before I came in – I think we all were.

'I went on a few dates with her friend. You're not in the villa until you're actually in the villa. I only told my family and two of my closest mates I was going on Love Island.'
He insisted it wasn't a serious relationship, adding: 'It's true, I was dating people obviously. But my actual ex girlfriend came into the villa, so it wasn't like it was an actual ex. Things have changed a lot in the last eight weeks'.
Shakira and Harry have had a rollercoaster journey in the villa with Harry's roaming eye causing plenty of upset.
While the pair were originally coupled up, it wasn't long before his head was turned and he snuck off to the Hideaway with Helena.
After changing his mind once again, he returned to Helena after the pair claimed to have a 'undeniable connection'.
Fans will then remember the dramatic moment his ex Emma walked into Casa Amor, blindsiding Harry while he was coupled up with Helena.
Despite their history, Harry and Emma didn't rekindle their romance, but his time in Casa Amor wasn't exactly scandal-free, with the footballer striking up a flirtation with bombshell Rheo, even sharing kisses under the covers.
Ultimately, he returned to the main villa single and carried on with Helena – only to later admit he still had feelings for Shakira, claiming his relationship with Helena was more like friendship.

It comes after Montana Brown urged fans of the dating show not to vote for Harry as she branded him a 'walking red flag' for the way he apparently treated her friend before flying off to Mallorca to 'find love' in the villa.
Airing her thoughts in a TikTok video, Montana said: 'Guys I've not been involved in the whole Love Island chat so this is the tea.
'Harry was seeing someone that I know, one of my good friends, right before he went on the show and wrote her a letter and said, oh my gosh I know you're doing to be really surprised at this but I still love you and we're going to be together and I just need to sort my head out and all of this c**p.
Discouraging her followers from voting for Harry and Shakira, she said: 'And now I'm like this guy cannot win. Although I love Shakira from what I've seen of her, she's incredible.
