LOVE Island’s Harry Cooksley warned his MUM about watching him romp on TV.
The footballer, 29, admitted he’s up for going all the way in the villa – if he finds the right girl.

He is mindful his mother will be avidly watching the show, but says he gave her the heads up.
Speaking ahead of Monday’s launch show, Harry said: “Listen, it’s not out of the question [that I’ll have sex on TV].
“If it feels right then I will – and I have briefed my mum as well.
“So yeah, if it feels right and it’s the right time I’m definitely open to it.”
Happy-go-lucky Harry was accused of dumping his girlfriend to be on the show.
A stunning woman, who The Sun chose not to name, claimed that Harry was a “liar” who had told her he was flying out to Bali, not to the villa in Mallorca.
Harry insisted they weren’t in a relationship, saying: “I’ve been dating for the last year, I’ve dated people leading up to the show, but nothing serious.
“I mean it wasn’t like a ‘dumping’, we dated. I told her I was going away for the summer and we left it there.”

‘Dumping’ makes it sound “terrible”, he said, adding: “I definitely haven’t dumped anyone.
“I think that is the reputation of footballers, but that’s not who I am.
“I’ve got a mullet and I’m 30. I’m ready for something.”
He’s now focused on finding a connection in the villa, but won’t stand for being in any love triangles.
He said: “If someone can take my girl from me then she was never my girl.”
Harry refuses to play games in the villa, insisting he wants to find something serious – and could even end up leaving with a girlfriend.
He said: “I like to think I play it cool with women and I’m kind of relaxed, but it’s so heightened in there, where you spend so much time together and when I fall for someone I fall hard and I fall fast.”
