Harry Jowsey was getting a bit too hot to handle in “Let’s Marry Harry.”
The Netflix heartthrob spoke exclusively to Page Six Radio on Tuesday morning, where he shared executive producer Alex Cooper’s one demand while he was filming his new dating series.
“There was one moment when I was on set, and they were like, ‘Alex said [to] stop kissing all the girls,'” Jowsey, 29, recalled. “I was getting a bit active. They needed to rein me in.”
“Let’s Marry Harry” — which dropped its first seven episodes on Netflix earlier this week — follows Jowsey’s latest search for love. Over the course of five weeks, 20 women compete for his hand in marriage, while his closest friends, including Cooper, guide him through the unique experience.
The reality star said he was actually living in a house with the girls, sharing that it was “overwhelming” when they first started filming.
“It was a lot,” he admitted. “They’re always trying to pull you for a chat, and I’m the only one. So, it was a lot the whole time.”
“I don’t know how ‘The Bachelor’ does 30 [women].”
This is hardly Jowsey’s first rodeo when it comes to reality dating shows.
The “Boyfriend Material” podcast host made his television debut in the first season of New Zealand’s “Heartbreak Island” in 2018. He later appeared on Netflix’s “Too Hot to Handle” in 2020, MTV’s “Match Me If You Can” in 2021 and Netflix’s “Perfect Match” in 2024.

Jowsey said Netflix approached him about “Let’s Marry Harry.”
“They were like, ‘Hey, would you want to get married?’” he told Page Six. “I was like, ‘Yeah! To who?’ They were like, ‘We don’t know, but we’ll figure it out.’”
Despite concerns from some of the women vying for his heart, Jowsey promised his “F-boy” ways are a thing of the past.
The television personality explained he was “playing a bigger character” and “trying to get more screen time” when he first started on reality TV in his early 20s. However, he said he’s since mellowed out.
“That was four years ago,” he said. “I guess I hadn’t done anything to redeem myself since. I’ve done the work in private time, in private life.”
The finale episode of “Let’s Marry Harry” drops on Aug. 12 on Netflix.
