Love Island fans are in disbelief after seeing an old video of Harriet Blackmore.

The self-confessed "It girl" from Brighton is 24, but after spotting a throwback clip of Harriet on X, formerly Twitter, several viewers have questioned the dancer's real age, with one saying they "almost had a heart attack" when they saw what she looked like in 2022.

Sharing a snap of the singleton, who looks fresh-faced with long blonde hair, one fan wrote: "This is what she looked like a couple of years ago btw, beautiful girl [sad face emoji."

Responding to the photo, another viewer said: "I almost had a heart attack when I found out this woman was 24. Injectionists [sic] need to be stopped." Another replied: "Wow! Whatever she did, really aged her appearance. Sad. She looked great before" while a third exclaimed: "Oh my god…. Unreal!"

The self-confessed 'It girl' is bringing all the drama to the villa

Months before sashaying into the Spanish villa, Harriet, who is a dancer and a personal shopper, split up from her boyfriend of three years.

On Friday's episode, the villa descended into chaos - thanks to Joey Essex - when the Brightonian asked Ciaran if he preferred Nicole Samuel to her. Joey told Harriet that Ciaran was chanting Nicole's name in the bedroom, prompting the dancer to ask: "Did you tell the boys in the changing room, Nicole?" Ciaran admitted: "Yeah I did."

Although her chances with Ciaran seem to be scuppered, Harriet said she used to have footballers sending her messages on social media. She opened up about the texts before Love Island, revealing: "A few footballers but, as I said, I was with my boyfriend of three years at the time so I never really responded.

She continued in The Sun on Sunday: “There have been a few flirts here and there but I think that is normal - if you don’t have a footballer in your direct messages at some point in your life you would probably be lying."

In the latest episode of the reality show, Harriett herself has been accused of lying to love rival Jess White in a new row over Ronnie Vint.

On Monday night's instalment, Harriett and the footballer took some time away in the Hideaway together, despite Ronnie being coupled up with Jess.

The pair were soon sharing a smooch, with Harriett later asking if they should keep it between them. Ronnie said no, insisting, "I want to be straight with her, obviously it's not nice to hear. Are you all good with that?" "Yeah I'm good with that," Harriet responded, who gushed: "I'm happy you brought me here."

However, when Jess found out, the dancer quickly backtracked and said she had always intended to tell her. But fans weren't having any of it as one wrote on X: "I hate when people lie."
