The latest episode of Love Island UK brought explosive drama as the Islanders’ families entered the villa, with Shakira Khan and Harry Cooksley facing intense scrutiny from her mum, Sukina. The visit turned awkward when Sukina refused to hug Harry and called out his past behavior, leaving viewers on edge.
Shakira’s Mum Makes Her Feelings Clear
Sukina didn’t hold back during the family visit, refusing to stand up when Harry approached. She bluntly told him,
“We’re not hugging Harry.”
She also mocked his recent breakup with Helena Ford, saying,
“I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I’m sorry, but we thought it was ‘undeniable’ Harry.”
This comes after Sukina previously slammed Harry on TikTok, calling him a “d***head” for his treatment of Shakira. Despite her harsh words, Shakira admitted to her family,
“I adore him and I really wish I didn’t, that’s the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don’t.”
Sukina responded by telling her daughter that Harry must prove himself to her before seeking approval from the family.
Harry’s Attempt to Win Shakira Back
Harry and Shakira recently rekindled their relationship after he ended things with Helena. During a recoupling, Harry chose Shakira, saying,
“I’d like to couple up with this girl because she possesses qualities I see in a long-term partner… I know she doesn’t believe a word that I say right now, but I want her to know that the feelings have always been there.”
However, Shakira remains cautious, dodging his kiss and insisting on taking things slow.
Other Islanders’ Family Reunions
While Harry faced tension, other Islanders had emotional reunions:
- Toni was thrilled to see her mum, Leslie, who flew from Florida. Leslie joked about Toni’s past relationship with Harrison, saying,
“I’d love to know what voodoo spell he put on you.”
- Cach opened up to his siblings about feeling embarrassed by Toni and Harrison’s actions.
- Dejon’s mum scolded him for oversharing about his love life, saying,
“No mother needs to hear about your threesomes!”
- Yasmin was moved when her twin sister, Zara, revealed fans keep mistaking her for Yasmin.
What’s Next for Harry and Shakira?
With the Love Island finale approaching, Harry has a lot to prove to Shakira and her family. His best friend, Harry Hugo, later revealed that private conversations in the villa were even more intense than what aired. He said,
“Harry has a lot of work to do both now and on the outside to prove the doubters wrong.”
Fans are now waiting to see if Harry can truly win Shakira’s trust—and her mum’s approval—before the season ends.
