She went on to say: “I’ll bring the entertainment for everyone in the Villa, whether that’s making the girls laugh or making the boys turn their heads, I’m sure that I’ll bring the drama.”
What does Harriett Blackmore do for a living?
Harriet is a dancer and personal shopper.
She has revealed that one of her most recent jobs involved being a personal shopper for a well-known musical artist, as well as being friends with a famous YouTuber.
She said: “Being a bit of an IT girl in Brighton, I’ve done personal shopping for the rapper Arrdee and one of my best friends is Saffron Barker the YouTuber.”
When was Harriet dumped from Love Island?
Harriet and her partner Ronnie Vint were dumped on Friday’s episode.
They were up for dumping alongside other couples such as Grace & Konnor and Ciaran & Nicole.
She was part of a love triangle between Ronnie, Jess and her.
After both girls gave him an ultimatum to choose between them, he picked to couple up with Harriet.
She said about leaving the show: “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.”
Harriet continued saying she “feels good about leaving with Ronnie”.
She said: ” I’d rather leave with him than any of the other boys.
“I’ve had the best experience with him and I’ve met the bestest friends, like Grace, Matilda, Joey and Sean.
“I’m going to miss them so much.”
Both of them confirmed in their interviews that they would want to see each other outside of the show to see where things go.
Harriet did not have it easy during the show and had a heated discussion with islander Ciaran over a game of Never Have I Ever.
She said about Ciaran in her exit interview with ITV: “He never actually apologised to me, but to be honest I don’t actually care.
“At the end of the day everyone has their opinions.
“I lived in that moment and all my friends there thought it was horrible the way he spoke to me.
“I’m out of the Villa now, I wish him all the best, no bad blood, but he could have given me an apology.”
How can you watch Love Island 2024?
The first episode aired on ITV1 on June 3, 2024.
Love Island is airing simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX.
Episodes have continued since at 9pm from Sunday to Friday.
On Saturdays, a highlights programme will be shown in place of the normal show.
A source said: “ITV want to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off next month.
“Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.”
