EXCLUSIVE: Daily Star sat down with Love Island’s Harry Cooksley before he heads into the Majorcan villa. Let’s just say there will be good reason if he looks down to the floor while on the show…
Love Island’s Harry dished all on his grim ‘biggest ick’ when it comes to dating women – but admitted that he has the same ‘bad habit’ himself.
Harry Cooksley,30, from Guildford, will be beamed onto our telly screens on Monday night for the 12th season of the popular ITV show.
The footballer, who is dubbed as Farnham Town’s ‘Zidane’ and is the body double of Declan Rice, is set to use his charm in the stunning Majorcan villa.
However, there’s one thing that he will be looking out for when it comes to coupling up and it can be a real deal breaker for the lad.
Speaking exclusively to Daily Star about his biggest ick, Harry candidly shared: “The biggest ick…it’s pretty generic, but personal hygiene.
“And my toenails are not right, I’ve got footballers feet. But, I love nice nails and toe nails on a girl.”
Well, if you catch Harry looking down at the floor come Monday night then you’ll know why!
When asked about what he looks for in a partner, apart from avoiding manky feet, Harry shared that it’s more substance over appearance.
Although, that didn’t stop him from sharing a vague description of his ‘dream’ girl.
Before Harry heads into the villa this weekend ready for the start of the show on Monday night, the ‘Declan-Rice double’ shared: “Aesthetically, I’m into a sort of naturally pretty girl, feminine, but it’s more than that. It’s a lot more than that for me than than just looks.
“I’m quite open in terms of type. Obviously I have my preference, but I just think it’s more the initial attraction. It’s about how we get on and how the chat is and how the vibes is.
“I think the biggest green flag for me is someone that has their life, not even together but they’re just passionate about what they do, they have their own life before I meet them.
“I’m extremely busy and I haven’t prioritised dating for the last year. So someone that is ambitious and enjoys what they do.”
