Love Island's Dejon turns on 'best friend' Harry in shock twist as fans call out his 'calculated' behaviour amid Helena row ahead of the final
The personal trainer appeared to show where his friendship lies with the semi-pro footballer after an unexpected twist.
The Grafties returned this year to the delight of views, bringing drama and turmoil to the villa as relationships lay in tatters following the ceremony.
From Cach's realness to Harry's secret antics, the Islanders were exposed to what had been going on behind their backs over the past few weeks.
One particular moment got everyone talking, after clips revealed Harry had been showing interest in Shakira again, despite being exclusive with his partner Helena.
Things between sour between the two as Helena was left upset by his actions and ultimately decided to call it quits with him.
Those watching from home were left confused as to why Dejon didn't check on Harry after he fell out with Helena, despite them being close.
During their time in Casa Amor, fans say Dejon was 'egging him on' - but backtracked during tonight's episode.
Dejon even went so far as to insist he felt 'fooled' by his pal Harry after the private conversations were played to the villa.
Over on X, people shared their disappointment in Dejon, with many saying they want him and Meg out.
Tweets included: 'Yeah the fact dejon didn't even speak to harry tonight to check up on him or even get a clearer picture was disgusting - definition of fake #LoveIsland';
'Dejon is such a twisted individual. Egged on Harry's behaviour from the start, to play Helena like she's a joke. Then cleans up his act & makes Meg his gf to get to the finals and win the 50k. Cold & calculated fr';
'Its not surprising tho. Dejon sold out Harrison and Helena when they were caught too. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK';
'WHY IS DEJON ACTING LIKE HE DIDN'T KNOW. HARRY TOLD DEJON HE WAS UNSURE ABOUT HIS FEELINGS YESTERDAY. A TERRIBLE BOYFRIEND AND AN EVEN WORSE FRIEND. WOW #loveisland
'Maybe Dejon really is in debt, he's going full actor #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK
Over on X, people shared their disappointment in Dejon, with many saying they want him and Meg out
It comes after Dejon asked Meg to be his girlfriend during Monday night's episode.
In recent weeks, the pair have gone from strength to strength after the personal trainer finally put his flirty antics behind him and stuck by 'his Meg'.
But some viewers still believe Dejon is not showing his true colours, going as far as accusing him of 'planning to win the £50,000 prize' if they're crowned the winners.
Viewers on X accused Dejon of plotting to win the show, having popped the question just weeks before the finale.

Beloved children's author Allan Ahlberg dies at 87
British writer Allan Ahlberg, author of more than 150 children's books including classics like 'Eat Peach Pear Plum' and 'The Jolly Postman,' has died, his publisher said Friday. He was 87. Penguin Random House said Ahlberg died on Tuesday. It did not give a cause of death. Ahlberg's books introduced generations of young children to reading through simple rhymes, sharp observation and gentle humor. Many were co-created with his illustrator wife Janet Ahlberg, who died in 1994. 'Peepo!' (1981) gave a baby's-eye-view of the world and was interactive in a delightfully analogue way, with peep-holes in the pages to spy the next scenes. 'The Jolly Postman' (1986) was even more inventive, incorporating postcards and letters in envelopes for children to engage with while they followed a letter-carrier delivering mail to fairy tale characters. Penguin Random House said it 'pushed at the boundaries of what it is possible for a book to be.' Ahlberg also wrote books of jokes, including 'The Ha Ha Bonk Book,' and poetry for primary school-age children, including 'Please Mrs. Butler' and 'Heard it in the Playground.' Born in 1938 and raised by adoptive parents in a working-class home in OIdbury, central England, Ahlberg worked as a 'postman, plumber's mate and grave digger,' according to his publisher, before becoming a teacher. He met Janet at teacher training college and the couple's first book, 'Here are the Brick Street Boys,' was published in 1975. Then came ''Burglar Bill' in 1977, about a burglar who steals a baby, and 'Eat Peach Pear Plum' in 1978, with its pages of intricately drawn nursery-rhyme characters. It won Janet the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustration, one of the most prestigious awards in children's publishing. 'The Jolly Christmas Postman' won the same prize in 1991. After Janet died of cancer aged just 50, Ahlberg worked with illustrators including Raymond Briggs and his daughter, Jessica Ahlberg. For adults, he wrote a tribute to his wife, 'Janet's Last Book,' and two autobiographies: 'The Boyhood of Burglar Bill' and 'The Bucket.' Francesca Dow, head of children's literature at Penguin Random House, said Ahlberg's books have been described as 'mini masterpieces.' 'He knew that making it perfect for children matters, and above all that the very best stories for children last forever,' Dow said. 'Allan's are some of the very best – true classics, which will be loved by children and families for years to come.' Ahlberg is survived by his second wife, Vanessa Clarke, his daughter and two stepdaughters.

Helena's parting message to ex Harry after being dumped from Love Island villa proves theory, claim fans
Blu also left the villa in last night's double elimination GRACIOUS GOODBYE Helena's parting message to ex Harry after being dumped from Love Island villa proves theory, claim fans Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HELENA had a parting message for ex Harry after being dump-ed from the Love Island villa - and fans think it proves one of their theories. Helena had her fair share of ups and downs with the public on Love Island, but fans were unable to get enough of her and her 'adorable dad'. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Helena was booted out of the Love Island villa last night 5 She formerly dated Harry on the show However, viewers weren't the most fond of her relationship with 'mean girl' Meg Moore, believing she would have been so much nicer if they hadn't become friends. As Helena was eliminated from Love Island last night, the former cabin crew member showed a softer side on-screen that left those watching wishing they had got to know her more. After embracing her former villa-mates, Helena had a sweet, concise parting message to her ex Harry - who had been involved in a dramatic love triangle with both herself and Shakira. 'Look after Shakira,' Helena said. Despite being exclusive with Helena only days prior before the couple split, Harry admitted to still also having feelings for Shakira. Taking a moment to ask Harry to look out for Shakira was a touching gesture, especially as Helena and Shakira had the occasional spat, and Shakira and Helena's friend, Meg, were on horrible terms leading to one of the 'biggest feuds in Love Island history'. Taking to X, one viewer wrote: "Whatever you think of Helena, her walking out by saying to Harry 'be good to Shakira' is lovely. She's not the mean girl a lot of people try to make her out to be." Another added: "helena and shakira hug is so sweet." A third tweeted: "Helena telling Harry to 'be good to Shakira' after everything was a really nice thing to do." That same night on the show, Shakira and Meg made it crystal clear how they felt about one another. Love Island fury as couple are brutally axed from the villa after 'leaked' video 'spoils' the result for fans 'You won't be my friend on the outside,' said Meg. Shakira replied: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' Helena often approached Meg and partner Dejon after fall outs with ex Harry, growing closer to the rival couple the more they confided in one another. Though Meg was branded as the 'alpha mean girl', fan theories believed she rubbed off on Helena, encouraging her to become more of a gossip behind the other girl's backs. 5 Helena was caught in a love triangle with Shakira and Harry 5 Meg was one of Helena's best friends in the villa
