Love Island's Helena breaks silence after shock villa axe and reveals plan to double date with surprising islander
Helena had her fair share of ups and downs with the public on Love Island.

And on Thursday night, the star was dumped from the villa alongside Blu, who she'd been in a friendship couple with.
The former cabin crew member had a tumultuous relationship with Harry Cooksley on the show, with the pair even going exclusive before he dumped her for Shakira Khan.
But despite that, Helena said in her exit interview that she plans on staying pals with the footballer, and that they'll even go on a double date with Meg and Dejon.
She shared: 'I don't regret saying we would be friends because I was accepting of the situation and starting to move on from it.
'The main thing for me wasn't losing the relationship, it was losing our friendship as we had such a great connection.
'I wanted to still be around him and not avoid him.'
Helena continued: 'I think without the pressure of being in the Villa and seeing each other on the outside we will be friends.
'Me, Meg, D and him had already made plans to do things as a four. We have so many similarities, which was why we got on in the first place.'
She also opened up on the backlash Harry had received for the way he'd handled the love triangle.
Love Island in new fix row as fans hit out at 'massive rule break'
Helena admitted: 'Actions will always have consequences but I would still back him in some situations as he is remorseful.
'I don't think he is a bad person, I just don't think he knows how to handle certain things.'
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."
