Normally the drama starts to wind down as a series of Love Island comes to an end, but that absolutely wasn’t the case on All Stars 2025 as Olivia Hawkins returned to the villa just days before the final and dropped that screenshots bombshell.
While the row initially involved Liv and Grace Jackson, Harriett Blackmore jumped into defend her Love Island 2024 bestie and joked, ‘Liv's probably text herself and used it as an answer,’ in reference to the claims that Olivia had Photoshopped her face on to Harriett’s body in a picture of her and Ronnie Vint.
It’s fair to say that Harriett and Liv definitely didn’t leave the villa on good terms, so we had to see whether they’d manage to make amends when Harriett and her man Ronnie popped into Closer HQ earlier this week for a post-villa debrief.
When asked how she feels about the fiery row now, Harriett told us, ‘I’m just moving on from the Liv Hawkins situation.
‘I didn’t know her before [All Stars], we never had interactions, so I don’t plan on having any more.’
Brutal.
Having her say on the screenshots, Harriett added, ‘There’s no messages so I don’t where Liv plucked them from, but it definitely was fake.’
Ooh, there’s no love lost between those two is there?
In case you somehow missed it all, Olivia claimed she’d seen screenshots of messages allegedly sent by Grace, in which she said she’d ‘do anything to win’ the show. Grace has always insisted she never sent the messages and it’s since been reported that the screenshots were fabricated, but that didn’t stop things kicking off when Harriett got involved too.
Harriett already had beef with Liv, who revealed at the start of the series that Ronnie had slid into her DMs last year while he was still romantically involved with Harriett.
