Harry Jowsey has revealed that Gigi Hadid has had him blocked on Instagram for years after he made an off-colour comment.
The Australian reality star, who rose to fame on Too Hot to Handle, appeared on the latest episode of the So Alli podcast with host Alli Simpson this week, where he shared details of how he ended up shut down by the supermodel.
The 28-year-old explained he was a teenager at the time, and was in an online relationship with a catfish posing as Alli Simpson on the now-defunct social media website, ASKfm.
Facing the real Alli to tell the embarrassing tale, Harry explained his side of the story.
When Alli found out that she was being impersonated online, she announced to her fans on Twitter that the ASKfm account did not belong to her.
Harry was so devastated by the news that he lashed out at Alli online.

As a result, Alli’s pop star brother, Cody Simpson, and Cody’s then-girlfriend, Gigi, both blocked Harry online.
‘That was the first time I ever popped off on social media, on ASKfm,’ a red-faced Harry explained to Alli.
‘Me and the fake ASKfm account [posing as Alli] had a thing going on, and I always genuinely thought it was you,’ he told her.
Harry said he was 16 years old at the time, ‘drunk out of his mind’ and jumped on Instagram to write, ‘Me and Alli are dating. We took each other’s virginities.’
‘Your whole family went off at me in the comments. You commented on my post. Cody blocked me. Cody was dating Gigi at the time, and I’ve been blocked ever since,’ Harry told Alli.
He added: ‘I met her and I’m still blocked this long, and no one knows.
‘They [the Simpson family] must have all been at a family dinner. Cody’s with his girl and I have commented drunk with my friends and you all went off at me.
‘It was fully fair, but I’ve never told anyone that.’

Alli told Harry it was all water under the bridge and felt that she had overreacted to Harry’s post at the time.
She also told him that Gigi might have simply forgotten that she has him blocked at this stage.
Cody and American model Gigi dated for two years, between 2013 and 2015.
‘I love Cody to death and he loves me,’ the blonde model told WWD after their split.
‘He needed his time to focus on his music and he’s the one who broke up with me. We’re still best friends and I’ll always respect him and support his career.’
In recent years, Cody has pursued a career in the pool as a swimmer, but has since returned to music.
The Gold Coast-born performer is dating fellow Australian swimming champion Emma McKeon.
