Viewers watched on as Harrison became involved in a dramatic love triangle with Lauren Wood and Toni Laites.
Taking to Instagram, he captioned the post: "Back on home turf and carrying every lesson with me.
"What a whirlwind, confusing, raw, beautiful in parts, and deeply humbling.
"I entered with the intention not to hurt anyone.
"Truthfully, although I didn't manage that, I leave with a heart more open, and a soul willing to learn.
"Life isn't always easy, it's felt, it's flawed, it's full of growth.
"Thank you to those who saw the good in me even when I struggled to see it myself. This is just the beginning."
One follower commented: "You and Toni could have won if you didn't treat her so horribly, anyways TONI & CACH to win."
Another wrote: "Better post an update on you and Lauren!!!!!"
A third added: "Well done you. It takes a big person to admit they were wrong and to apologise in the way that you did."
Harrison entered the villa as a bombshell and soon coupled up with Toni.
He made the switch to Lauren during the classic Casa Amor twist - and they later had sex in the villa.
Lauren, 26, who works as a dog walker in York, was booted from the villa on Wednesday night.
She begged Harrison to follow and, 24 hours later, he made the choice to go.

Katie Price shows off HUGE new lips and reveals new bum lift – despite admitting she regretted the last one
KATIE Price has shown off her HUGE new lips and bum lift - despite admitting she regretted the last one. Former glamour model Katie, 47, underwent a Brazilian Bum Lift and lip filler top-up during a single visit to The Clinic Club on London 's Harley Street. 5 5 Sharing the latest tweaks with fans on Instagram, Katie revealed: 'So my lips are done. I haven't gone too big and now I'm gonna do my bum. "Literally, got the train up, having my lips done, having filler in two areas of my bum, then taking Harvey to his new place.' The star previously revealed that she had regrets over how far she'd gone - but that didn't stop her from opting for more tweaks this week. Insisting this time was less risky, Katie said: 'If I'd had my bum done in Turkey it would be more dangerous. I'd be put to sleep, it would be more dangerous and they use your own fat. "This is just filler. Come up here for an hour and a half and it's done, amazing…' Fresh from a sun-soaked break in Dubai, Katie showed off her plumped lips in a close-up clip and declared: 'See, you can tell I haven't had much today. Gone a bit more classy.' She then winked and added: 'I just need to get my lashes done now…' Later, she shared footage of her newly enhanced bum, complete with plasters poking out from under a pink lace thong. Katie said: 'So I've just done my BBL in under an hour. So quick, the plasters are on and ready to go. Love it! Woooo! BBL in your lunch hour.' Back in May, Katie opened up about her heartbreaking obsession with going under the knife. Katie Price continues to spark concern as she shows off her very slim legs in new video In a candid confession, the Page 3 legend revealed the real pain fuelling her relentless pursuit of perfection, admitting her countless surgeries are about far more than just looks. The reality star is known for undergoing numerous cosmetic surgeries, including breast surgeries (implants and reductions), facelifts, and other procedures like a "fox eyes" procedure. In a TikTok Live, Katie addressed where her desire to have cosmetic surgery came from. A fan asked her: "Why do you keep getting surgery?" Katie replied: "That is a very good question, so obviously I've had lot of therapy because I've had trauma in my life. "I think surgery stems from something from when I was younger, and me feeling I'm not validated or good enough. "It must have started form there. But to be honest, I quite like having the surgery it makes me look fresh. "I'm 47 in May, and when I look at people I went to school with, I think they look haggard, you can grow old gracefully, but I don't want to grow old gracefully. "If there's these procedures out there to be done I will take advantage of them and at least I'm being honest." Katie live-streamed her previous cosmetic procedure to thousands of stunned fans directly from the operating table. Two surgeons worked on the TV star simultaneously injecting her bum with 50 needles of filler. Katie previously said she had cancelled the op and was hitting the gym to make her bum bigger naturally, but has now given in to temptation. In the TikTok broadcast, the mum of five appeared upbeat and relaxed as she spoke with viewers while receiving 500ml of filler for her latest BBL to give her rear a boost. 'I'm having it done now, filler put in as we speak,' she explained mid-procedure. Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline 1998 - Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction 1999 - Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup 2006 - Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup 2007 - Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth 2008 - Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup 2011 - Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers 2014/5 - Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed 2016 - Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers 2017 - After a disastrous 'threading' facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup 2018 - Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift 2019 - After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck 2020 - Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers 2021 - In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction 2022 - Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes 'biggest ever' boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total 2023 - Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year 2024 - Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection 'Two surgeons so it's quicker because I'd rather have it both done at the same time. Teamwork makes the dream work.' Katie continued: 'I've just had Endo laser and filler, I'm having it put in my bum. 'It will dissolve over time, but it can last up to two years. "Something can always go wrong. Anaesthetic is always a risk, but I haven't been put to sleep for this - I'm awake, talking to you guys.' As the filler continued being injected, Katie remarked, 'We are numb but I can feel it getting stingy now, which I know is very normal. I'm not feeling sore… I'm feeling good.' Despite the £1,500 cost of the treatment, Katie admitted she was getting it done for free to promote the clinic. Thousands of fans tuned in, flooding the comment section with a mix of support and shock. In 2019, Katie had a full body transformation in Turkey, including a facelift, eye and eyelid lift, a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and a tummy tuck. She hasn't use the word 'addiction' herself, but confessed she's aware of how many surgeries she's had and the toll it's taken on her body. While she's no stranger to tweakments, Katie's now urging girls to think twice before following in her footsteps - saying she's learned the hard way. Katie has also spoken openly about her reliance on cosmetic procedures and the impact they've had on her. She has expressed regret about the number of surgeries she's had and the potential for long-term physical and emotional repercussions, including the recovery process, pain, and potential for a desire to return to a "before" state. 5 5

Love Island: Are Harrison And Lauren In A Relationship Now?
Last week's Island bought a twist no one saw coming, when Harrison Solomon made the shock decision to leave the villa. It came after a rough week for Harrison, who was in a love triangle with Toni Laites and Lauren Wood. After asking Toni to recouple with him, bombshell Angel chose Ty as her number one – leaving Lauren packing her bags. Fans watched a tearful Lauren ( quite literally ) beg Harrison to leave with her – and while he took 24 hours to mull over the decision, he later announced he would be leaving the villa to go and get 'girlfriend' material Lauren. Now, after landing back in the UK separately, the pair have broken their silence on their villa exit – with scenes of them reuniting shown on AfterSun. When asked by Maya Jama whether the couple were now official, Harrison added, 'Nah, nah, sorry to disappoint but we're not boyfriend and girlfriend. But I think we'll get there very soon.' Elsewhere, Harrison revealed that the final recoupling - which saw Toni pick him after he asked her to do so on the terrace – was the final straw. 'I spent the next two days with Toni and I feel like something was holding me back a little bit,' he explained. And despite Harrison's blatant disrespect while in the villa, Lauren insisted it was all fair game now that he'd followed her off the show. Explaining that his choice to quit after she begged him to leave 'showed me everything that I needed to know', Lauren said, 'Obviously the situation with the re-coupling, I found so disrespectful. It was just the timing of it. I understood why he wanted to still get to know her, and I said he could still get to know her when we were in a couple. So I didn't understand the recoupling situation. I think he knows that, and he is very sorry for what he's done. But I think leaving the villa showed me that he obviously has made his decision. It was a big decision to make.' Prior to the show, Harrison had also addressed concerns over how their long-distance romance would last. Harrison currently lives in America, while dog walker Lauren lives in York. 'We will make the distance work. It will be no issue,' he said, adding, 'I have no doubt in my mind that she'll be my girlfriend one day.' Some fans have praised Harrison for following his heart. 'I'm so happy Harrison reflected on his actions and chose to leave with Lauren,' wrote one. 'By doing that, he showed a lot of maturity and growth. It was obvious he really liked her the whole time so he made the right decision.' Others, however, aren't quite so keen. 'I hate that [Love Island] is trying to shape Harrison and Lauren as a romcom/fairytale? He was absolutely horrible to her and Toni, and Lauren's just taken it?' wrote one. 'Harrison didn't deserve any platform after the stunt he pulled. But in true moden day fashion, the world rewards bad behaviour and Lauren does too,' added another. Another wrote, 'Women's Aid complained about Harrison on behalf of Lauren only for her to turn around and beg Harrison to leave with her… Oh my.' Harrison's love triangles actions saw him draw plenty of criticism inside and outside the villa, including from charity Women's Aid, who raised concerns over this treatment of both women in the villa – sleeping with Lauren two nights in a row, before coupling up with Toni. Defending himself against the backlash during a chat with MailOnline, Harrison said, 'It's hard to digest. I would disagree with a lot of it in terms of my respect for women, I do respect women.' 'The worst has been from Women's Aid. I know myself and the girls on the show too, Toni said she knows I'm not a bad person, I just went about situations in the wrong way, but the Women's Aid statement wasn't nice… it's not nice coming out of the villa to my mum upset by that, so I would have that's been the hardest.' 'I got it wrong, and the back and forth between the two connections caused more harm than I ever intended. It wasn't ever an ego thing. I am not proud of how I handled things, and I'm not going to make excuses. I just want to own it. If people can give me the space to grow from it, I will do everything I can do be better.'
