Miguel Harichi was one of the contestants on the dating reality show Love Island season 6. He was born on March 8th, 1997 and is from London, United Kingdom.

Who Are His Parents?
The ‘bombshell’ Miguel hinted at a traumatic childhood in the reunion episode of Love Island which aired on Peacock. The episode confronted him with some really painful memories from his past. Fans are speculating that his parents fought a lot which is why he doesn’t talk about them.
This is probably why he is very sensitive when people shout or fight. Even though he has not talked about his parents, we know a bit about his roots. He has roots from Morocco, Portugese, and Angola, and his Arabic-sounding surname suggests that his parent must have had some connection to Persia or Arabs.
