Love Island contestant Harriett Blackmore has hit back at claims she 'defended' a Premier League football player after he was accused of allegedly 'attacking a group of women.'

A resurfaced video of Harriett, 24, who was announced as one of the new Islanders on Monday, shows her telling an unnamed female 'He's a Premier League football player, please leave him alone', with one social media user saying she 'hurled abuse at us because her brother and his mates attacked us on a night out in Brighton.'
