Harry Cooksley from Love Island has raised eyebrows among fans after a “weird” interaction with Shakira Khan.

The duo, who have recently become a couple following Harry’s split from Helena Ford, were seen getting cosy in the dressing room during Monday’s (July 28) episode, deciding to take “baby steps” in their budding romance.

However, a moment of flirtation turned heads when, after sharing a cuddle, they joked about one of them having body odour, leading Shakira to fetch some deodorant.

Viewers were taken aback as Harry seemed let down when Shakira left his lap to freshen up, even passing him the deodorant afterwards.

Fans took to X, previously known as Twitter, to express their thoughts, with one writing: “Harry having a fetish for armpits is diabolical.”, reports OK!.

Another commented on the platform: “This armpit fetish of Harry is so weird oh my #loveisland.”

A third shared their concern: “Harry’s fetish for smell is concerning guys. #LoveIsland.”

Echoing the sentiment, a fourth added: “Harry really does have a weird armpit fetish #LoveIsland.”

This follows an earlier incident that had viewers feeling queasy when Harry’s ex, Emma Munro, who left the villa last week, invited him to sniff her armpits around the fire pit.

Emma broached the topic of their past intense relationship and, knowing his preferences, teasingly offered Harry a sniff of her armpit, to which he eagerly responded: “You know I do.”

Emma joked: “I know you liked to smell them” as the duo chuckled, leading Harry to admit: “That took everything not to sniff your armpit there, it took all of me.”

Following this peculiar conversation, fans were quick to express their dismay. One viewer vented: “Armpit sniffing… Harry has officially reached a new low.”

Another commented: “Emma and Harry talking about how badly he wants to sniff her armpit on national TV I’m sick to my stomach.”

A third was left bewildered, exclaiming: “WHAT IS GOING ON? ! Harry talking about how he really struggled to not sniff her armpit… one of the strangest things I’ve ever watched.”
