Love Island’s Danielle reveals ‘real reason’ Luca turned against life-long pal Harriett and failed to have her back

DANIELLE Sellers reckons she's worked out the "real reason" her Love Island co-star Luca Bish turned against his life-long friend Harriett Blackmore.

All Stars favourite Harriett, 24, accused Luca, 25 - who she's known since childhood - of failing to have her back during a villa argument.

She was slammed for telling Casey O'Gorman to "shut your f***ing mouth" during a tense game of To Be Honest.

Luca refused to back her and was even spotted laughing behind her back before making up with Harriett when she was saved in the public vote.

They came to blows again later in last night's episode when Harriett asked the public if Luca had her best interests at heart.

He slammed it as a "b*****ks" question despite fans agreeing he does.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Danielle suggested Luca and his partner Grace Jackson are threatened by Harriett's relationship with Ronnie Vint being strong in the villa.

She said: "I'm definitely team Harriett, I have to say, because Grace tells people to shut the f*** up all the time and no one says anything to her, whereas when Harriet said it...

"Luca's supposed to be a family friend.

"He could have just been like 'yeah you shouldn't speak to people like that but I back you', but he just completely was against her [in front of the group] and I thought that was unfair on Harriet.

"When she walked off crying no one went after her. I completely feel sorry for Harriett in that sense."

Danielle continued: "When you're in there with them, Harriett and Ronnie are definitely the strongest couple.

"They've got the most chemistry and the most connection when. It's so natural, they're completely themselves.

"I think maybe that's a little bit threatening to Grace and Luca."

Harriett and Ronnie topped a public vote to remain in the villa, while Luca was recoupled with bombshell Samie Elishi by fans last week.

Fans argued Luca has been harbouring a grudge against Harriett because of her powerful position going into the final week.

He then rushed to apologise after seeing she was popular with fans.

Taking to social media, one fan said: "Anyone else find it weird that Luca apologised to Harriett immediately after he found out she won the public’s popularity vote?"

A second wrote: "Call me a hater but Luca changing his tune with Harriett after finding out she’s liked by the public, feels calculated to me."

"Luca switching his tune cause he realises the public actually like Ronnie and Harriet, he ain’t slick, fake ass," said a third.
