Love Island enthusiasts are convinced they’ve stumbled upon a secret falling-out between two of the show’s stars, despite their claims of being close friends.
Viewers keenly observed Samantha’s apparent change in attitude towards Harriett, as she engaged in a private gossip session with fellow contestant Jess, while Harriett conversed with Ronnie in the garden. Jess expressed her frustrations, stating, “Get a grip mate. She f***ing fancied Ciaran the other day, she fancied Sean the other day, now she fancies him, because all the others have seen through it.”
However, it was Samantha’s response that raised eyebrows and sparked online discussions among Love Island fans. Some even questioned whether a falling-out between Sam and Harriett had been depicted on the show without their notice, given their seemingly close bond thus far.
On Twitter, fans speculated about the apparent rift, with one writing, “So Samantha and Harriett aren’t besties anymore then?” Another expressed surprise, stating, “I thought Sam and Harriett were besties?” Meanwhile, another fan remarked, “Damn talking smack about Harriett already.”
The criticism towards Harriett has been mounting throughout the week, particularly after she performed a sultry dance for Joey in the hideaway, despite assuring Sam that she was only seeking revenge on Ciaran. Fans took to social media to voice their disapproval, with one urging, “Protect Samantha, get Harriett out now #Loveisland she is not a girls girl on any way shape or form and is giving pick me vibes.” Another echoed similar sentiments, expressing concern about Harriett’s behaviour: “Harriett’s bringing the drama, but she’s moving way too mad! Going to the hideaway with Joey so soon??!”
