He’s the hunky reality star who is notorious for his antics on Too Hot To Handle.
And now Harry Jowsey has once again thrust himself into the limelight as reality TV’s newest villain.
The finale of Netflix’s Perfect Match Season 2 showcased Jowsey’s downfall, after he was busted in a scandalous lie about not kissing co-star Melinda Melrose while romantically linked with Jessica Vestal.
Jowsey, 27, made headlines by switching his affections from Elys Hutchinson to Jessica, a single mother, proclaiming his newfound love on Perfect Match.
However, during a supposed boys-only outing, allegations flew when Harry was accused of kissing Melinda.
He fervently denied these claims to Jessica, insisting his only misstep was helping Melinda avoid injury from stepping on stones by carrying her to the bathroom.
Throughout the season, Jowsey’s notorious reputation as a bad boy was a frequent topic of conversation.
Jessica clung to the hope that he had changed, but the relationship crumbled, then briefly rekindled post-show, only to dissolve once more within a week.

He even refuted Melinda’s claim that he had made inappropriate remarks about pregnancy and his desire to be intimate with her.
The season finale, however, laid bare the truth with previously unseen footage.
