According to viewers, there is a villain inside the Love Island UK Season 11 villa and they aren’t exactly complaining about her.
We’re only a few episodes intoSeason 11and Harriet Blackmore has been the center of attention…and not in the most positive way.
For starters,viewers were quick to call her out after she liedto Jess White about her intention of revealing that she kissedRonnie Vint.
Then, she wasn’t forthright about her involvement in the love triangle between herself, Ciaran Davis, and Nicole Samuel, resulting in Nicole calling her names behind her back. Needless to say, Harriet has wasted zero time in making all sorts of enemies in the villa.
Shockingly, viewers are actually applauding the islander for her messiness and have made their opinion known on June 11 in a popularRedditthread called “Harriet is the perfect villain.”
In their eyes, sometimes an unhinged islander is necessary to make the season interesting.
One fan wrote, “She knows what she’s there to do and the producers must be loving her – she’s a constant source of messiness and feels like she’d slot perfectly into golden era Love Island.”
Another fan chimed in and wrote, “She’s a toned-down version of Zac & Trent from LIAUS; you need villains to root against – keeps people tuning in again and again.”
“She might actually be my favorite villain since Megan [Barton-Hanson] in S4,” a third Redditor pointed out.
Fans were already given the heads up that Harriet was going to bring the drama aftera video resurfaced of her trying to diffuse a seemingly physical interactionthat she wasn’t even involved in.
