Love Island hunk Harry Cooksley has been hit by claims he is a ‘serial sh**ger’ by an ex who has accused him of being involved with 12 girls ahead of the ITV show.
The gold dealer and semi-pro footballer, 30, who is set to feature in Sunday night’s episode of the hit dating show, has left his ex ‘not shocked’ by his daring moves during his time on the series.
Harry had the quickest Hideaway sleepover ever after he spent the night with air hostess Helena Ford just 56 hours into the ITV2 series — even though they were not coupled up.
His ex, who did not want to be named, has now spoke to The Sun and revealed she has been contacted by ’12 women’ on social media who claim, like her, thought they were in a relationship with Harry.
The ex, a model in her 20s, said she is ‘distraught’ as she believed their ‘exclusive relationship was serious’ and has branded Harry as ‘disgusting and a serial sh***er’.
She told the publication: ‘I am actually distraught about it all. I have been really struggling to get through this. I thought we were serious and now I cannot get over how much he can do this to girls and get away with it.

‘The amount of women he has hurt is unbelievable. We have all linked up over social media and there are just more and more coming forward to say how badly they’ve been treated.
‘A few of us were led to believe we were in exclusive relationships with him. Others he was just dating or hooking up with casually. It’s disgusting.’
She added: ‘I am really worried about the women currently on the show. He is a serial sh**ger and the way he has treated me and others is disgusting.’
Daily Mail have contacted ITV representatives for comment.
Previously on the show, Harry’s ex Emma Munro entered as a bombshell and did not hold back when talking about her former partner, blaming him entirely for their split.
Speaking ahead of her villa entrance, she said: ‘Harry is my ex boyfriend.
‘Harry and I had been together for four years but unfortunately we broke up because he was misbehaving.’
The Sun also revealed back in June that a number of woman had taken to social media to claim that Harry has been on dates with people they know or had recently liked them on dating app Hinge’.
One said: ‘He liked me on [dating app] Hinge two weeks ago.’

Another added: ‘Harry took my sister-in-law out for a date about eight weeks ago and couldn’t pay for it. Let’s hope they don’t charge for drinks in the villa — haha.’
A third wrote: ‘Do we know who has access to Harry’s online banking so he can pay my friend back for the drinks he owes her from their date.’
Another added: ‘That’s funny because he was also exclusively dating my friend for the past seven months. Someone give Harry a calculator cos the math ain’t mathing???’
Another alleged he had split with their pal days before Love Island started, claiming it was because he was going to Bali.
They said: ‘Don’t forget they broke up on Wednesday & he told her he was going to BALI.’
Elsewhere his mum has appeared on Love Island After Sun and while speaking with host Maya Jama joked she’s ‘disowned’ him after his brutally honest remarks and questionable actions in the villa.
It was previously revealed during a challenge how the hunk had slept with an entire women’s football team.
While viewers have been up in arms over his behaviour, Harry’s mum also isn’t best pleased.

Maya said: ‘Imagine he’s just living his normal life, talking to the boys, you forget you’ve got cameras on you.’
However, asked if she approves of his villa conduct, Harry’s mum quipped: ‘No! I’ve disowned him.’
She continued: ‘On more than one occasion. Harry who? Harry who?
‘Oh my God, it just rolls off his tongue, I don’t know. How can you forget the camera’s on you?’
Before entering the Love Island villa, Harry didn’t rule out going the full way and having sex on the show.
He said: ‘Listen, it’s not out of the question [that I’ll have sex on TV]. If it feels right then I will – and I have briefed my mum as well.
‘So yeah, if it feels right and it’s the right time I’m definitely open to it.’
On the show, viewers first saw Harry get close to model Shakira Khan, 22, as they cuddled and kissed on camera.
However, within 24 hours, Harry disappeared into the Hideaway with Helena, 29, and afterwards insisted they had shared just a ‘PG kiss’ and a cuddle.

Despite Harry was still telling others that he felt something for Shakira and that he thought she had ‘more substance’ than Helena, who he had just coupled up with.
He also flirted heavily with the villa’s new arrival, Angel Swift, telling her: ‘I’m very attracted to you.’
Eventually, all the girls turned on Harry, accusing him of messing with Helena’s feelings after he dumped her.
Despite this, he has since re-coupled with Shakira and the pair have been seen sharing a bed, kissing and cuddling together.
