Love Island fans 'gobsmacked' as real reason for Harrison's exit revealed
There were tears all around in Love Island tonight as Harrison said his goodbyes to the villa. It was reported earlier today that the 22-year-old had departed the show after being in a love triangle with Toni and Lauren. It was revealed in tonight's episode that he left to be with Lauren, who was dumped the night prior.
During tonight's episode, viewers witnessed Lauren get booted out the villa after new bombshell Angel put her partner Ty in her number one spot. This meant they had automatically been put in a couple - and Lauren had been left single, and dumped from the Island.
The brutal text left the Islanders in shock, especially her former partner Harrison. The pair went for a private chat in which Harrison asked Lauren if she was willing to give it another go. Lauren said she was and said if he left with her, it would tell her everything she needs to know.
'Will you wait for me?' Harrison asked as Lauren made her exit. 'Promise you will come?' she later asked, as Harrison said he promised he would. However, the boys told him to sleep on it and to not make any rash decisions.
The next day, Harrison confided in Harry and Dejon, saying he'd made his mind up and wanted to make Lauren his girlfriend on the outside. He then gathered the rest of the Islanders around the firepit, as he said an emotional goodbye.
"Prior to the Villa I wanted to find a girlfriend, someone I want to introduce to my family and I think I've found that…. Mine and Lauren's connection was something special, I wanted to stay true to myself and follow my heart," he told them.
"I just wanted to see thank you all for making this crazy expereince the best one of my life, and Young Bull's out I guess," he chuckled as the whole villa broke down in tears.
"Go get your girl," Helena and Harry told him. Before leaving, Harrison broke down in tears as he apologised to Toni for how he treated her in the villa, as she told him: "I know you're not a bad person," before she pleaded him not to treat Lauren how he treated her.
Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter after Harrison's departure, one fan penned: "HARRISON GONE?" as another shocked fan questioned: "how is harrison and lauren gonna make miami and uk work???"
"Can't believe Harrison decided to leave!!" exclaimed another.
Toni was left in tears following Harrison's exit, as she asked the rest of the girls: "How many more times do I make someone a better person for somebody else?" However, Toni and Cach appeared to make amends during tonight's episode - so could she finally get her happy ending?

Aware of the heartache he was causing them both, Harrison made the decision to remove himself completely. It's a decision that has been welcomed by Toni's mum, who has been keeping a keen eye on what's been going on from their home back in the US. Taking to TikTok, Leslie said: "Obviously I'm really thrilled that he is out of sight, out of mind, and I think that it will speed up the healing process for both Toni and Lauren, to be quite honest." "However, sort of like public service announcement, part of it, for me, is that I have some empathy for him as well," she added. "He is a 22 year old young man who I don't think had any idea of the implications that of his actions, I don't agree with just about anything he did in there, but I don't think he saw the bigger picture, and I'm sure stepping out of this bubble now is going to be quite traumatic for him, and I would offer him grace." Adding she hoped his time in the villa would prove a "wake-up call of how he should treat people" she continued: "Hopefully he gets the help that he needs to deal with this aftermath, because I don't wish him harm. I wish him also healing and learning from his mistakes. "So yes, I am happy he is away from the villa, and again, wishing him health and good luck. "I have a feeling he's in for a very rude awakening, and I feel for his family as well, because nobody wants to see one of your loved ones go through this." Her empathetic message came before she found out that Lauren was dumped from the villa as well following the introduction of a new bombshell in yet another twist. Love Island's most savage game returns as bitter rivalries explode - and Toni breaks down in tears Leslie had previously been critical of Toni and Harrison's relationship, especially after the pair reunited after movie night last week, and a clip shown to the villa proved Toni still had feelings for Harrison. She said: 'My initial reaction to the first look is no. 'No, no, no, no, no. If I had my way, I would hire one of those little planes that has the banner at the back and have it fly over the villa and that banner would say 'leave Harrison alone. Harrison leave Toni alone.'' She continued: 'I'm not happy about it at all. I'll just keep praying that she can straighten her crown up and realise how much better she deserves. 'I'm with all of you out there saying 'no Toni, no, don't do it.'' With Toni now the only part of the love triangle still in the villa, will she be able to find a stronger match as the finale draws closer?

Real reason Matty Healy skipped Charli xcx and The 1975 bandmate George Daniel's wedding
While George's bandmates, Ross and Adam, were in attendance, lead singer Matty Healy didn't attend the ceremony. The newly married couple even walked to Hackney Town Hall Charli XCX and The 1975 drummer George Daniel have married, but one bandmate was nowhere to be seen on their big day. The pair looked over the moon as they posed outside Hackney Town Hall on Saturday. Brat queen Charli looked sensational in a white mini-dress, with a heart-shaped neckline, as she held onto her bouquet of flowers while posing for pictures. Their wedding comes just days after George returned to the UK, having been in Ibiza with his bandmates, including Matty Healy, for his stag do. Amidst reports that the couple would be splashing the cash and inviting dozens of famous faces, the Mirror can reveal that Charli and George tied the knot in front of just 20 of their closest friends and family. Shunning the huge showbiz aspect of their lives, the newly married couple even walked to Hackney Town Hall. While George's bandmates, Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann, were in attendance, lead singer Matty Healy didn't attend the ceremony. Which may have come as a shock to fans as they have spent over two decades writing, recording, and touring together, cementing a friendship. It turns out Matty was in LA for the screening of I Know What You Did Last Summer, in which his fiancée Gabbriette Bechtel stars in. On Friday evening, the singer was spotted arriving at the venue dressed in a leather jacket over a white top with a red lightning bolt, paired with blue jeans. Matty, who has been linked to Gabbriette since September 2023, appeared in good spirits as he left his vehicle and headed into the event. Despite his absence at the wedding Matty reportedly attended his pal's stag do earlier this week which took place in Ibiza, reports MailOnline. Fans have been left gushing over the newlyweds, with one writing: "She looks so good." A second penned: "OMG, shut up she looks beautiful." "Congratulations, Charli and George," said a third. Meanwhile, a fourth exclaimed: "Pop royalty just got their crown. Congrats to Charli and George!" Other fans speculated on why Matty wasn't at the couple's big day in London. "i hateeeee speculating but I wonder what George thought when Matty said he couldn't make it to his wedding lmao if it was my best mate I'd have probably never spoken to him anymore but that's just me," one penned on Twitter (X). Another argued: "Apparently that was just the 'official' wedding and they're having more of a party wedding soon because there were LOADSSSS of people who weren't there." A third mused: "Matty probably wanted to be good to both George and Gabi, that's why he chose Ibiza over the 'I know what you did last summer' premiere and Gabi's movie party over the wedding. All I can personally see here is a kind man, definitely not a pos." One sarcastically added: "oh yes matty totally hates charli and george it's almost like he never called her "my best friend" on the glasto stage not even a month ago and then cried in george's arms when the show ended, of course the evil monster gabbriette made them fight and plots on the band's demise."
