Cosmo ME: Describe yourself in three words.

Harry Jowsey: My friends would say: A lovable idiot.

C: What’s the most surprising thing about fame?

H: How much time you self-reflect. Having so many criticisms of your everyday moves and living under a microscope really makes you think about if you are doing the right thing, moving in a good direction, leaving a positive impact and looking your best.

C: Have you ever travelled to Dubai?

H: Dubai looks like heaven, I’ve never been but I’m dying to go. There’s something about that place that looks like I’d never want to leave.

C: What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?

H: If it’s out of your control, don’t let it affect your happiness


C: What is your favourite way to chill?

H: Down by the ocean with my dog, taking in nature and the ocean air.

C: If you could only have one dessert for the rest of your life, what would it be?

H: Cheesecake, for sure.

C: Favourite place to travel to?

H: Nice in France, it is absolutely stunning. The food, the vibes, the people. It’s amazing.

C: Day at the pool or beach?

H: Always the beach. There’s just something about being by the ocean and in the sunshine that makes me feel alive. I grew up by the ocean so it’s in my nature to want to be by the beach. 

C: What’s the funniest thing that happened to you behind the scenes on Too Hot To Handle?

H: In the opening scene when I met everyone, I actually had a bee buzz right into my face as I met Francesca. I didn’t know what to do so I tried to square up and punch it, then I ran away screaming because I didn’t want to have a bee sting on the first day of filming!

C: What is often misunderstood about you?

H: My persona online. People push a bit of a narrative about me. But once you get to meet me, I’m very level-headed and love to treat everyone the same. I will always have time for someone and want to help however I can.
