Love Island star Harry Cooksley recalled the moment he thought he ‘had a chance’ with Margot Robbie after the two met on an aeroplane and ‘chatted the entire way’
Love Island star Harry Cooksley not only revealed who his celebrity crush was in the Beach Hut Bonanza segment of Unseen Bits, but he also admitted that he thought he ‘had a chance’ with the A-lister. Footballer Harry, 30, recalled meeting none other than Margot Robbie on an aeroplane, where the two apparently hit it off and “chatted the entire way.”
Revealing his celebrity crush, he said: “The incredible Margot Robbie, and I’ll tell you exactly why, I sat next to her on a flight, we chatted the entire way.” He added: “And I actually thought I had a chance with her.”
The 34-year-old Australian actress shot to stardom after appearing in The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and has since gone on to star in huge movies, including Suicide Squad, Babylon and the iconic Barbie movie, which was released in 2023.
While Harry is still looking for his perfect match in the villa, A-lister Margot Robbie tied the knot with her husband Tom Ackerley 8 years ago after initially meeting in 2013 on the set of Suite Française, where Ackerley was working as an assistant director.
They began dating shortly after and married in a private ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, in December 2016.
Margot is a reported ‘superfan’ of Love Island and has met many of the islanders over the years. She was previously snapped with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Danica Taylor at the Barbie Premiere in London, where islander Chris Taylor even appeared in the movie.
Speaking about meeting Margot, Chris told Cosmopolitan: “She’s just really down to earth and cool. She’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.”
Meanwhile, in the Love Island villa, Harry has found himself in hot water as he has been seemingly jumping between three of the girls. Harry showed a keen interest in Shakira before establishing a connection with Helena and then moving on to an interest in Yasmin.
Harry’s actions led to it kicking off in recent episodes when he snuck off to the hideaway and kissed Yasmin three times without being honest with Helena. His actions were then revealed in an explosive game around the fire pit, which left Helena in shock.
Voices became quickly raised as Megan shouted across the fire pit to Harry: “You owe it to Helena to be f****** honest, you p****. She’s sat there watching you go into the Hideaway, you kissed her three times and then come out and go ‘Oh no, I didn’t do anything.’”
Furious Meg added: “Grow a pair of b******* mate, honestly, grow the f*** up.” Only time will tell if Harry will find a strong connection in the villa.
Love Island 2025 airs every night at 9PM on ITV2 and ITVX. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads.
