Instead of chasing love in the villa, Harry is back chasing goals for Farnham Town FC.
The reality favourite laced up his boots this weekend, pulling on the club shirt once more as he returned to the pitch.
Supporters joked it was “back to grafting” for the star, who swapped late-night parties for training sessions and matchday glory.
Taking to Instagram, Farnham Town FC confirmed Harry was back and playing for them after posting their line-up and writing: “Cooksley returns to the squad”.
Snaps showed the reality star back on the football field at The Memorial Ground in Mead Lane in Farnham.
Harry and Shakira Khan have been riding high since the ITV2 programme in which they finished as runners-up.
The finalists recently revealed that he has made things official, a month on from the hit dating show.
Harry confirmed that he and Shakira are officially a couple after spending time together outside of the villa.
The 30-year-old addressed the news in a buried TikTok comment in which he responded to one of his fans’ comments.
Underneath a video of the pair, one fan questioned Harry as they said: “Are y’all official?”
Another fan was quick to point out that Harry branded Shakira his “lady” to imply they had cemented their relationship.
Appearing to clear up the confusion, Harry replied to the original comment to simply say: “Correct.”
Meanwhile, Harry finally came face-to-face in an awkward run-in with Helena Ford at the National Television Awards.
The former villa couple spoke for the first time since the show in a tense conversation in the VIP after-party at The O2 Arena.
Love Island winners – where they are now
EVERY year Love Island opens its doors to more sexy Islanders who are hoping for a holiday romance that could turn into more.
Onlookers witnessed the pairing reunite just hours after Helena cast doubt on if she would speak to him at the event.
In The Sun’s exclusive video, Harry and Helena could be seen nervously chatting to one another.
They kept their interaction very surface-level with Helena appearing to end the conversation and walk away.
One partygoer told The Sun: “Harry and Helena had a short conversation with each other before the after party wrapped.
“It was clearly uncomfortable for them but Helena attempted to lighten the mood by sharing a joke or two.
“Harry seemed very aware of girlfriend Shakira’s eyes on him and so didn’t get too friendly with Helena.
“It certainly felt very awkward but they seemed to exchange pleasantries before moving on.”
Since the series came to an end in summer, Helena has remained single and hasn’t caught the eye of any suitors.
Helena was accused by fans of copying her show rival Shakira’s stunning NTAs look.
Helena donned a stunning embellished red dress that had a daring mesh bottom and diamante straps.
The TV personality completed her stunning look with silver heels, styling her hair in a sleek low ponytail with some face-framing strands left out.
Harry and Shakira were all smiles as they posed on their first red carpet together.
Shakira wore a floor length red gown with an embellished petal like bodice adding red gloves to her look.
Fans were quick to call out Helena for wearing a similar colour and style dress, flooding to the comments on internet forum Reddit.
One User said: “Why is Helena always copying Shakira’s colours black at the reunion party and now red again? And she’s always wearing hair 2 pieces down when Harry is around like at the reunion aswell.”
“Do you wanna know the funny thing Harry has mentioned that he loves red she was wearing it constantly after him and Helena were over in the villa and maybe she wore it again tonight for a reason,” added another.
A third replied: “Yes! Even Harry said he likes the fringey bits down.”
Others hit back and put it down to simply coincidence, one said: “2 pieces down is literally the most common way of face framing that people literally wear daily, she wore her hair that way loads of times before he said he liked it like that, why should she stop doing her hair the way she likes just bc of him?”
Another penned: “It’s not like she’s copying…they went to the same event and it’s not like she’s sitting there waiting to see Shakira and then picking a colour (crying laughing emoji)”
Helena caused quite the stir in the villa after she wore Shakira’s bikini and clothes.
She was caught wearing Shakira’s bikini and jokingly claimed she did it on purpose.
The moment sparked a ton of backlash online, especially since Helena was already surrounded by controversy for allegedly trying to ‘steal’ Harry from her rival.
Fans even claimed Helena had an “obsession” with the brunette beauty after noticing an ‘uncomfortable’ pattern, with Helena seemingly mirroring every move Shakira made.
Outside the villa Helena was then accused by fans of copying Shakira’s Love Island reunion dress colour which was black.
