During the process, Dejon made it clear that he thought Helena was better suited to Harry than Shakira.
While Shakira aired her concerns about Dejon's authenticity and whether he was playing a game.
Harry and Shakira finally found their way back to each other and ended up finishing in second place on Monday's final.
Appearing on Love Island's Morning After podcast, Harry was quizzed on whether he felt Dejon's intentions were always genuine.
Co-host Amy Hart asked the couple: "Do you feel like with Dejon, we felt sometimes he wanted his friends to go out with Meg's friends, so it was easier and you weren't dating across the aisle basically, so you could all sit together and be happy together."
Shakira was seen smiling and nodding along to Amy's question as she appeared to hit back at Dejon for meddling in their relationship.
As Shakira smirked, Amy added: "Shakira agrees."
Amy explained that when Harry was with Shakira, Dejon was in his ear saying 'no, you're better with Helena', and when Harrison couldn't decide between Lauren and Toni, Dejon kept saying 'no, you like Lauren more'.
Amy insisted Dejon was interfering in Islanders romances for his own gain, saying: "It just felt to us that he was trying to get his his friends with Meg's friends... end off."
Harry replied: "There is some truth to that, like D will naturally want that.

"As a four we all got on really well, I would say that was across the villa, everyone saw me and Helenaev apart from Toni and Yas, eeryone was kind of rooting for us.
"I wouldn't say it was just D, we've had conversations and I know he wants the best for me, he can see how happy I am with Shakira."
Proving some of her villa haters wrong, Shakira added: "We've had a wonderful last week, it's been great, it's been magic.
"If this is the start then I'm looking forward to what's to come."
Yesterday the Love Island's voting percentages were revealed after two bombshells scooped the £50,000 prize last night.
Las Vegas waitress Toni Laites and professional dancer Cach Mercer went head-to-head with OG islanders Shakira and Harry.
However, Toni and Cach were triumphant and won the summer series after surviving a love triangle just two weeks before the final.
In third place were Yasmin Pettet and Jamie Rhodes, followed by Angel Swift and Ty Isherwood in fourth.
A results table shared on Love Island's Instagram account this afternoon showed Toni and Cach were the runaway winners on the night, taking over a third of the votes, with 33.5% of viewers backing them for the crown.
However, Shakira and Harry drew a sizeable 26.2% of the votes, and Yas and Jamie were not far behind taking 22% on the nose.
Aesthetics practitioner Angel, 26, only made her debut on July 17, but managed to secure an impressive 18.3% of the overall voting audience with Casa Amor boy Ty.
They received the highest percentage of votes for a fourth place finish in the show's history.
Toni and Cach won the show after getting back together following her second fling with Harrison.
She finally dumped the footballer after she discovered Harrison had slept with Lauren twice days before their reunion.

Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu 'splashes £900k on Essex mansion' close to parents
Love Island icon Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who has appeared on many huge programmes since getting famous, reportedly purchased a four-bedroom mansion in Essex to be close to her parents Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu reportedly splashed the cash on a mansion in Essex near where her parents live. The Turkish star, 30, was thrown into the spotlight when she appeared on ITV2's Love Island in 2022 and won over a legion of fans with her chaotic antics with Davide Sanclimenti. She went on to appear on Dancing On Ice, The Wheel, The Traitors US and Celebrity Big Brother. She made an epic return to Love Island for All Stars where she enjoyed a brief romance with Curtis Pritchard. She also tried her hand at cooking on Cooking with the Stars. Ekin-Su is also an ambassador for BPerfect Cosmetics and the British Red Cross. It comes after Katie Price reaches out to Harvey's lookalike half-brother but fears 'he's too scared'. READ MORE: Tommy Fury makes decision about Bambi's future after own Love Island past Thanks to her successful career, Ekin-Su was able to purchase her dream home in a mansion, with reports claiming she spent £900,000 on the four-bedroom property. Insiders claimed she was close to getting a home in Surrey, but changed her mind at the last minute in order to be closer to her family. 'She has snapped up this home in cash and chose somewhere more modest so she could be closer to her parents, who she spends a lot of time with," the insider said to The Sun. The Mirror have reached out to Ekin-Su's reps for comment. Meanwhile, Ekin-Su recently shared a carousel of photos on Instagram as she shared a glimpse into her eventful August. One email was seemingly about her recent home purchase. The e-mail read: "Congratulations! Following my recent voicemail, I am pleased to attach the confirmation of exchange. It has been a real pleasure working with you, and I thank you for choosing [redacted] and me to buy your property." It comes after Ekin-Su opened up about her 'lonely' industry after she joined actress Giovanna Fletcher and more than 100 women on the five-day trip to the Isle of Skye for the CoppaFeel! Trek. During a recent chat with the Mirror, she said it was nice to show her fellow trekkers the real her. 'I did say to them my industry is very lonely and it is a very ego high industry where you can lose yourself. "You can't always show who you really are. And moments like this make you very vulnerable and it shows your emotions, which is the real you. So that was nice for the ladies to see.' Raising awareness of breast cancer, they also helped raise £506,898, surpassing their £450,000 target. Ekin-Su said hearing the stories of cancer has made her want to get her breasts checked for the first time.

We've been together for 25 years & they said it would never last – we embrace our issues, says Catherine Zeta-Jones
Catherine, who has been candid about the struggles they faced, also reveals her greatest achievement and which famous family she relates to LASTING LOVE We've been together for 25 years & they said it would never last – we embrace our issues, says Catherine Zeta-Jones Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AS she plans a huge celebration to mark her 25th wedding anniversary with Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta-Jones is also laughing at the cynics who said their marriage was doomed. The acting couple seemed an unlikely match at the start. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Hollywood stars Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are celebrating 25 years of marriage Credit: Getty 6 The couple pictured in New York in 2010 Credit: Getty Welsh beauty Catherine was 28 and about to secure A-list status starring in 1998 movie The Mask Of Zorro with Antonio Banderas, after finding fame in the UK with wholesome ITV show The Darling Buds Of May. Meanwhile, Basic Instinct star and ladies' man Michael, then 53, had separated from first wife Diandra Luker, who he eventually divorced in 2000, and had done a stint in rehab for booze and drug issues in 1992. But Catherine, now 55, recalled: 'We've been married 25 years, it's something to celebrate. And they said it would never last! 'It's a journey of learning and loving and fun, and the prospect of reaching a 25-year anniversary is really quite thrilling. I remember my mum and dad celebrating theirs.' The anniversary of their lavish wedding ceremony at the five-star Plaza Hotel in New York is in November, but Catherine will be too busy to celebrate on the actual date. She is now starring as Morticia Addams in the second series of Wednesday, which was released on Netflix this week, and will be filming season three on their big day. But Michael, now 80, doesn't mind waiting a few weeks for a party. Catherine said: 'I've been working a lot this year and he's been so supportive. I think we're going to be doing a party around the holidays because I'll be shooting season three. It's such a short period of time I have off. 'Difficult times' 'September 25 is both our birthdays. So from September 25 through to Christmas is a pretty busy time.' During the past quarter century, cynics have at times believed their predictions the couple wouldn't last. The Mask Of Zorro staring Catherine Zeta-Jones The stars themselves have been candid about the struggles they faced. In 2010, Michael announced he was undergoing intensive radiotherapy and chemotherapy to treat stage 4 throat cancer, which he said was caused by the HPV virus. The year after, Catherine revealed she had been diagnosed with bipolar II, struggling with the stress of her husband's illness. Then, in 2013, they announced that they had separated, but reconciled months later, with Michael saying: 'I think every couple has their difficult times. We're back, stronger than ever.' Surviving the tough spells has made them even more determined to celebrate with their children Dylan, 25, and Carys, 22, together with Michael's son Cameron, 46, from his first marriage. The Hollywood pair have amazing careers behind them, with Michael having been in Romancing The Stone and Wall Street, and Catherine in Chicago and Entrapment. But Catherine, now 55, recalled: 'We've been married 25 years, it's something to celebrate. And they said it would never last! Catherine Zeta-Jones But she says their greatest achievement is simply being parents. They raised Dylan and Carys out of the spotlight in Bermuda, where Michael's mother, Diana, was born. In 2009, they returned to New York. Showing off her moves Catherine said: 'Our children are truly wonderful. It's that fine balance of not putting them in a gilded cage of protection, of allowing them to make mistakes, of guiding them.' Wednesday, which launched in 2022, also stars Jenna Ortega in the title role and Luis Guzman as Morticia's husband Gomez. It became a huge hit for the streamer and won four Primetime Emmy Awards. Catherine admits that she relates to the Addams family, saying: 'It's a family who have issues, and we all relate to that. But we embrace our issues. 6 Catherine and Michael with kids Dylan and Carys at Walt Disney World in 2010 Credit: AP:Associated Press 6 The stars with Michael's movie legend dad Kirk Douglas and stepmother Anne in 2017 Credit: Splash News 'We don't shun or hide them or try to put them in a box.' Morticia and Wednesday have a strained relationship in the show, but Catherine says that she and real-life daughter Carys share a close bond. The actress reveals Morticia's parenting style involves 'nurturing and then having discipline'. Carys has experienced a small dose of her parenting style. Catherine said: 'I did give her side-eye the other day. I rolled my eyes, and she went, 'Don't Morticia me, Mom'. I thought it was a wonderful new line that kids can say to their mothers, 'Don't Morticia me'.' In addition to her happy off-screen marriage, Catherine said she is lucky to have a great on-screen hubby in Luis. She added of the Puerto Rican actor: 'We don't rehearse our chemistry, it just seems to really show up. We did this movie called Traffic 25 years ago and had a great friendship. 6 The couple defying critics together in 2019 Credit: AP:Associated Press 6 Catherine at last month's Wednesday premiere Credit: The Mega Agency 'We enjoy each other's company and respect each other as artists.' Catherine, who won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role as Velma Kelly in 2002 film Chicago, as well as a Tony award for A Little Night Music on Broadway in 2009, said the new series sees her showing off her moves again. 'Secret weapon' She said: 'I'm a dancer and Luis moves very well. He worked so hard to get those moves.' Catherine revealed that one scene with Jenna in Wednesday sees her dust off another old skill — the sword-fighting she mastered for The Mask Of Zorro. She revealed: 'Jenna and I had so much fun. I did sword-fighting in Zorro, so, excuse the pun, it was my secret weapon.' The new Wednesday features a host of stars, including Brits Billie Piper, Joanna Lumley and Thandiwe Newton, plus US actors Steve Buscemi and Haley Joel Osment. It's a journey of learning and loving and fun, and the prospect of reaching a 25-year anniversary is really quite thrilling. I remember my mum and dad celebrating theirs Catherine Zeta-Jones Even Lady Gaga is making an appearance. She was invited on to the series after clips of Wednesday dancing went viral when fans set them to Gaga's track Bloody Mary. The megastar singer flew to Ireland to film scenes and Catherine says she was a joy to work with. She explained: 'To have a woman of that calibre within our environment, it's so incredibly amazing. 'When I met her, she was humble, gracious, creative, collaborative and a woman who is just, you know, it exudes from her — greatness. She doesn't know it. 'She's a wonderful artist. And I get to say now, 'I met Lady Gaga'.' Not to mention Gaga can say she met Catherine Zeta-Jones . . .
