NEW Love Islander Harry has revealed he's a body double for Arsenal and England footballer Declan Rice.
With just days until the dating show returns, ITV has released the official cast photos - giving fans their first look at the singletons moving into the villa this year.
One of whom includes gold trader and model Harry, 30, who also plays football for semi-pro team, Farnham Town.
When asked if he has a claim to face, the Guildford-native said: "I’m the body double for Declan Rice.
"So when he does a shoot, any body close ups will actually be me.
"You’ll never see my face, but you’ll see my shoulder or chest, that kind of thing."

Midfielder Harry is is said to be known as The Surrey Zidane by fans of his side.
The league team, in the South Central Division, welcomed him in summer 2023 after he’d spent time with AFC Wimbledon and Farnborough and he’s also known for his goal celebrations.
A source previously told us would be hoping to score in Majorca as part of Maya Jama’s squad.
The insider said: “Harry’s got the full package - a great, athletic bod and great chat.
“Love Island’s ladies love a footballer and The Surrey Zidane will be sure to impress as he plays away.
“Execs are finalising who will be in the OG line-up and who will be a bombshell.”
Harry will be able to enjoy garden workouts with hunky 6’5” Aaron Buckett, who was the first name linked to this series but is likely to join as a bombshell.
Stunning Shakira Khan and Sophie Lee, both revealed by The Sun, are in the mix for opening up the show.
We later added gym hunk Tommy Bradley to the pack.
- Love Island returns Monday, June 9 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
