Love Island UK's family visit episode brought unexpected drama as Shakira's mother, Sukina, delivered harsh criticism of the villa and contestant Harry Cooksley. The tarot card reader didn't hold back her feelings about her daughter's romantic situation during Monday night's episode.
In a viral TikTok video, she described the villa environment bluntly:
"When I think of the villa I just think of a cesspit, it is just a cesspit and she is surrounded by snakes."
Sukina refused to hug Harry and questioned his recent relationship decisions on the ITV2 reality dating show. After weeks of being exclusive with Helena, Harry admitted he still had feelings for Shakira during The Grafties ceremony. This revelation led Helena to end their relationship. Harry then successfully recoupled with Shakira during Sunday's dramatic ceremony, despite her initial reluctance.
For those unaware, Love Island UK pairs single contestants in a luxury villa where they compete for a £50,000 prize. The show features regular recoupling ceremonies, public votes, and family visits that often create intense moments.
This season of Love Island UK's family episode proved particularly explosive as parents and friends arrived to meet the remaining couples. The annual visit typically serves as a reality check for contestants about their relationships and behavior in the villa.
What does Sukina think about Love Island UK star Harry?
Sukina didn't hold back as she entered the Love Island UK mansion. Right away, she ignored Harry's pleasant welcome and made it apparent she wasn't a fan, especially given how he treated her daughter, Helena. Sukina called him out for professing to have a profound relationship with Helena before switching gears and choosing Shakira instead. She openly told him that the move had confused the whole UK.
However, her issues did not end with Harry. Sukina had previously gone viral for a TikTok post in which she described the villa as a "cesspit" full of "snakes," alluding to her views towards the other Islanders on Love Island UK. And, while Sukina usually keeps things polite on her tarot-reading socials, she didn't sugarcoat her sentiments for Harry, ordering him to stop bringing up Shakira and move on.
Still, her daughter Shakira seemed torn. She admitted to still having feelings for Harry, even though she wished she didn’t. Sukina wasn’t thrilled about it but said if he wanted to win her over, he’d have to prove himself to Shakira first and then to her.
Harry offered a passionate statement during the recoupling, confessing his mistakes and expressing a desire to improve. He stated that his feelings for Shakira were genuine, even if it took him too long to confess them. It's unclear if this will be enough to win over Sukina or Shakira.
Sukina's entrance surely caused a stir in the villa, adding drama to an already tense love triangle. Her strong attitude and no-nonsense energy quickly established her as a fan favourite, and her viral comments heightened the drama. While other Islanders attempted to mediate, Sukina was not interested in remaining diplomatic; she desired answers.
Her daughter's inner turmoil exacerbated problems, especially as Shakira was divided between listening to her emotions and protecting herself. As Harry strives to regain Shakira's confidence, he faces double the pressure: making amends with her and surviving her mother's judgment.
What does this mean going forward?
The family visit episode on Love Island UK frequently acts as a watershed moment for Love Island couples. Parental disapproval has a tremendous influence on relationships and viewer perception.
Sukina's public criticism puts more strain on Harry and Shakira's rekindled relationship. The pair now faces not only their own tangled history, but also familial hostility.
Given Sukina's viewpoint, Harry's statement about departing "alone or with her" takes on a new significance. The next episodes of Love Island UK will reveal whether he can win over Shakira and her protective mother before the finale.
