The British army engineer from Slough is currently in a relationship with singer Conor Maynard’s 23-year-old sister Anna.
Harry and Anna – a CBBC presenter of Got What It Takes – regularly share sweet snaps on their Instagram showing off their loved-up relationship.
Anna, who has 149,000 Instagram followers, is sister to I’m A Celebrity star Jack Maynard, 29, and sings the sensational Conor, 31.

Ahead of the exciting second season, Harry said he joined because he thought it was a “great opportunity.”
He said: ‘It’s a life-changing experience, and not many people can say they’ve been on TV!
‘It will be such an amazing experience. Don’t get me wrong, though: the money would ultimately be life-changing, too.”
Harry admitted that he hopes he can be a traitor, more than a believer, in the upcoming series.
He added, “I want to be a traitor so bad! I know everyone says it, but I’ve always said I feel like I have a Jekyll and Hyde in me.
‘Where I’m a corporal from Monday to Friday and as soon as Friday comes I’m just Harry and I don’t want to think about work for the weekend.
“I also have five brothers and sisters, so I can tell little white lies and I make sure I believe them first, and then it just becomes the truth.”

Claudia Winkleman, 51, will once again host the competition which sees 22 strangers play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust in the hope of winning up to £120,000.
In the show, most of the contestants are ‘Faithfuls’ and must figure out who among them are ‘Traitors’ – who have the ability to ‘kill’ a fellow contestant every night.
The group has daily ‘bans’ in which they must vote to kick out someone they believe is a traitor, while working together on challenges to raise money for the prize fund.
In the first episode, Claudia selects which participants will secretly become the new Traitors.
In addition, the participants compete in various ‘missions’, the aim of which so far has been to increase the prize pool.
But while addressing the castmates for the 2024 season as they stood in line next to a lake, Claudia revealed that this year’s missions have arrived with a new twist.
As well as offering the opportunity to raise £15,000 towards the prize pool, Claudia added a surprising new layer to the challenges.
She said, “I have some news too. This year you are not only playing for money during these missions, but also for your life.

Players will have the chance to win a shield, which would protect them from assassination by the Traitors

Tensions run high as Claudia also selects the new Traitors in the first episode
“This, players, is a shield. Three of you can win one of these during a mission. There are two in the lake and one on land.
‘This protects you from being murdered by the traitors, but it does not protect you from exile.
‘To be clear: if you choose a shield, you are protected from murder. But at what price?
“What you really have to consider is what is more important: your money or your life?”
A banishment ceremony takes place every night, giving the cast the chance to get rid of those they suspect are traitors.
Instead, however, they often accidentally banish a fellow believer, provoked by the manipulations of the real traitors.
The 22 contestants have been announced ahead of the show – including a man brought back to life after being pronounced dead at the side of the road, a parliamentary affairs adviser, a disability model and a clairvoyant.
They compete for a prize of up to £120,000, with multiple winners or just one. The prize also varies depending on whether a participant is a ‘loyal’ or a ‘traitor’.
This series, Claudia is joined by comedian Ed Gamble who presents a special spin-off podcast for the hit show.
The first season of The Traitors, set in a Scottish castle, started in late November 2022.

The Traitors starts tonight on BBC One. You can watch the first three episodes afterwards on BBC iPlayer.
