She was shockingly dumped from the Love Island villa last week.
But Harriett Blackmore looked as though she was putting it all behind her on Wednesday as she enjoyed a shopping spree back home in the UK.
The 24-year-old beamed happily as she splurged on several purchases from PrettyLittleThing to lift her spirits, after being sent home on Friday with Ronnie Vint.
Harriett showed off her incredible figure in a cream minidress, leaving her bronzed legs on full display.
She also donned a smart black blazer with gold buttons over the top and a pair of leather over-the-knee heeled boots.

Carrying three whole bags of goodies, she hid her eyes behind a pair of round sunglasses and sported a bouncy blowdry and pink lipstick.
Harriett was joined by a female pal as she indulged in some retail therapy, following a rocky time in the villa.
Last week she was sent packing with partner Ronnie, 27, after receiving the lowest number of votes from the public.
It had been down to Harriett and Ronnie, Grace Jackson and Konnor Ewudzi and Uma Jammeh and Wil Anderson.
Jess White, 25, then received a text saying it would be Harriett and Ronnie going home, leaving Harriett extremely confused as she whispered to Ronnie: ‘What the f**k?’
She then shared her frustration with the girls in the dressing room by saying ‘I’m so confused right now’ and proceeded to blame Ronnie’s behaviour for them being dumped due to their love triangle with Jess.
Following her exit, she admitted that she was ‘sad’ to be going and felt like her time in the villa wasn’t over yet.
She said: ‘I feel sad to go. I felt that my experience in the Villa wasn’t over yet. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion, so if they think me and Ronnie should have gone, what can you do?’

When asked why the public may have put her and Ronnie in the bottom three, she revealed: ‘It’s hard because me and Ronnie have been in such a good place this last week. Maybe just the journey it took for us to get there,’
‘Obviously, we had our date and re-coupled and stuff. But he was getting himself involved in all of these triangles!’
She also admitted that she didn’t expect herself and Ronnie to be dumped from the villa, and believed that it would have been Grace and Konnor as they are in a ‘friendship couple.’
She said: ‘I wouldn’t have thought it would have been us, I thought it would have been Konnor and Grace as they’re in a friendship couple.’
‘But, obviously, Grace is one of my best friends in the Villa, she’s a big part of the Villa and her and Joey’s feelings, maybe the public took that into consideration?’
‘I feel like we’re in the same place as Uma and Wil, if not more as we’ve had more experiences together in the Villa.’
The shock dumping also left fans furious as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to bash show bosses claiming they felt they’d been ‘robbed’ of any upcoming Casa Amor drama.
One viewer wrote: ‘I wanted that movie night with Jess, Harriett and Ronnie. I fear i’ve been robbed; Harriett carried this show, this is so crazy.’

‘Harriett and Ronnie leaving before CASA AMOR, is a dumb move from the producers… it would have been GOOD tv; I refuse to believe Harriett got dumped. Like WHAT??? how do you get rid of the best girl in there. the math ain’t mathing.’
‘Whoever counted up those votes failed gcse maths because no way Konnor and Grace got more votes than Harriett sorry.’
While in the villa, Harriett was at the centre of a great deal of controversy, as Love Island became embroiled in yet another bullying row.
Rivals Jess and Harriett had locked horns from the start, after being involved in a love triangle with Ronnie.
The semi-professional footballer was originally couple with Jess, before his head soon turned for Harriett, who shared a kiss with him in the hideaway.
After losing out to Harriett, Jess was not shy is showing her dislike for her and frequently took the opportunity to make snide comments at Harriet’s expense.
And viewers quickly clocked on, accusing Jess of bullying Harriett and taking to Ofcom to complain.
The latest figures show that the ITV series was hit by 475 Ofcom complaints over the past week, with the regulator confirming: ‘Complaints about all three episodes related to Jess’ behaviour towards Harriett.’

They shared: ‘Pls get jess out this is becoming hard to watch like this is bullying; ‘Oh jess is straight up mean girl bullying harriet now’.
‘I’m sick of this Jess girl. Can she leave already; Jess thinks she upfront and real when in actual fact she fake and her delivery is just rude!’
‘Jokes aside Jess is truly awful and a bully and I would be so stressed having to share that villa with her for even a second; ‘Jess is honestly evil no wonder she’s single and I bet she ain’t got female friends in real life wtf’.
‘I’m sorry but what is Jess problem with harriett? All harriett has to do is breathe and Jess is belittling her! I’ve never understood why other women knock down other women. It’s like she’s obsessed with making her life hell! Get her out no room for bullies’.
LOVE ISLAND 2024: MEET THE CONTESTANTS
NAME: Mimii Ngulube
AGE: 24
FROM: Portsmouth
OCCUPATION: Mental Health Nurse
WHY LOVE ISLAND? The pool in Portsmouth is not giving. I’ve tried dating and speaking to people on social media and it just hasn’t been successful. Applying was a spontaneous thing, I didn’t expect to get here!
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? My girls are my rocks and I’m theirs, so I’ll be a good friend as well as going in there to find a man. I like dressing up, so I’ll bring style, and I’d like to think I’m quite funny so I’ll make people laugh. Bringing honesty as well – I’m good at picking up on people’s personality traits and side-eyeing those who might be liars.
NAME: Sean Stone
AGE: 24
FROM: Hertford
OCCUPATION: Sweets Salesman
WHY LOVE ISLAND? I’ve always been one for relationships, and when you have found someone you want to be with it’s the best feeling. Now is the perfect time, the one thing that is missing is my soulmate.
HOW WOULD FRIENDS/FAMILY DESCRIBE YOU? Very loving, caring and thoughtful. I’m the kind of guy that, if you broke down on the motorway and needed your tyre changed, I’d be there at any time of night.
NAME: Ayo Odukoya
AGE: 25
FROM: Canning Town
OCCUPATION: Model
WHAT WILL YOU BRING TO THE VILLA? I think I’d bring excitement and joy. I think people would have someone to come to and talk to and feel comfortable being around or to have a laugh with. I think I’m somebody everyone would take to.
WHY SHOULD SOMEBODY DATE YOU? I feel like the way I carry myself is very respectful and I think people take to that and once you show who you are to somebody you get it back tenfold. The way I am gives off a good enough energy for people to feel comfortable around me.
NAME: Nicole Samuel
AGE: 24
FROM: Aberdare, Wales
OCCUPATION: Accounts Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I’ve been enjoying single life and the attention of different boys, it’s fun. I’ve enjoyed being able to go on holiday with the girls and not having to worry about someone back home. All the girls are there texting in their room and I’m out till 4 in the morning living my best life.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I became a world champion dancer in 2011, not many people know that. I was a professional street dancer.
NAME: Jess White
AGE: 25
FROM: Stockport
OCCUPATION: Retail Manager
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I don’t underestimate the fact that I’m hard work. I know what I want, and I’m not easily pleased. When you’re a loud, outgoing woman, sometimes it can intimidate men – men don’t always want that.
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? I love a set of white Turkey teeth but a good set of Turkey teeth. I would say, personality traits: you have to be family orientated. You have to be tall, you can’t be shorter than me, I can’t be having to question whether I can wear heels around you and what height of heels I can wear. If you’re vertically challenged, it’s not for me.
NAME: Ciaran Davies
AGE: 21
FROM: Pencoed, South Wales
OCCUPATION: Surveyor
WHAT’S YOUR TYPE ON PAPER? Obviously looks but humour is a big thing for me, I’m a bit of a wind up so I want a girl who can give it back. Loyalty is another one for me: I think that’s the most important thing to look for in a relationship.
WHAT IS SOMETHING NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? When I was in Malia on a boys holiday I pretended to be Liam Reardon from series 7 to get into a club because they wouldn’t let us in. It worked and we ended up getting a private booth and free drinks all night.
NAME: Uma Jammeh
AGE: 23
FROM: Islington, North London
OCCUPATION: VIP host / model
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? I feel like I’ve been so unlucky in love! It’s all been underwhelming so far. I don’t know what the reason is, I think it’s them, as it can’t be me!
CLAIM TO FAME? I was born in a closet in the hospital! There were no rooms left, my poor mum!
NAME: Joey Essex
AGE: 33
FROM: Chigwell, Essex

NAME: Grace Jackson
AGE: 25
FROM: Manchester
OCCUPATION: Model and social media marketing coordinator
WHY ARE YOU SINGLE? No guys have good communication and it’s painful. I like someone who doesn’t take themselves and life too seriously. My lifestyle can put guys off a little bit, I like to go out and go abroad a lot. They can’t keep up with my lifestyle. It’s the life that I want, and it helps with my business.
NAME: Wil Anderson
AGE: 23
FROM: Whitley Bay, Tyne And Wear
OCCUPATION: Quantity surveyor
WHY DID YOU WANT TO GO ON LOVE ISLAND? I wanted to be single for the last year because I’ve been in two serious relationships from the age of 18 but, now I feel like it’s time to put myself back out there. I want to feel that love again
NAME: Matilda Draper
AGE: 24
FROM: Beckenham
OCCUPATION: Recruitmant Consultant
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’LL BRING? I want to bring sunshine to the Villa. I’m lighthearted and don’t take myself too seriously. If things get too serious in the Villa I’m going to throw in a little joke or a ‘would you rather’.
NAME: Konnor Ewudzi
AGE: 28
FROM: Cornwall
OCCUPATION: Barber
WHY LOVE ISLAND AND WHY NOW? I am ready to find somebody. I’ve been in a couple of relationships and now feels like the right time as I have learnt from past relationships. I’ll be able to pick out the red flags now.
NAME: Trey Norman
AGE: 24
FROM: Doncaster
OCCUPATION: Commercial Insurance Broker
WHAT KIND OF ISLANDER ARE YOU GOING TO BE? I’d say I’m charming and someone that goes after what they want, I’m not afraid to articulate my feelings. I’m going to the Villa to find the girl of my dreams so it may ruffle feathers with the boys.
NAME: Jessy Potts
AGE: 25
FROM: Leicester
OCCUPATION: Brand Partnerships Associate
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BRING TO THE VILLA? I’m fun, I like to get involved, so I’d like to think I will get stuck in as soon as I arrive. I also have a very sarcastic sense of humour, so I’ll make everyone laugh, but I’m a Sagittarius, so I also have a fiery side and I’m not afraid to say what I think or stand my ground. I’m not very good at taking ‘no’ for an answer.
