In recent weeks on Love Island, Helena Ford became exclusive with the professional footballer.
After this, Shakira Khan ended her partnership with Conor as she claimed that she had 'suppressed emotions' about her former partnership with Harry.
Later, Harry pulled Shakira for a chat where he flirted with her and suggested that it would "be a good idea" for the duo to meet up after the show.
Later, this clip was shown to all the islanders on the big screen leaving Helena fuming and the rest of the islanders in shock at his behaviour.
"I trust someone, and there's a level of respect there. And, like, the level of respect isn't there.
"Because for me, what is the crack like? What's the story like? Is it just sort of a thing where you want what you can't have?
"Why are you doing this? Because you're prodding her [Shakira], because she's trying to get over [you] and she's trying to move on, but flirting with her and stuff is still prodding her.
"And so what is like? What is that for? I'm so close to Shakira, [I can see] how actually hurt she is, her experience in here is nearly ruined.
"Then obviously having a situation, like her experiences here is nearly going to be ruined if she doesn't get over this."
He added: "And for what reason like just, that's what I'm trying to know."
Love Island star Harry makes very honest confession to Shakira as they chat after explosive Grafties and Helena split
Harry then said that hearing what Shakira had to say in their conversation on the steps inside the villa "changed things for him".
But Conor warned Harry to properly think about the connection he does share with Helena before he makes a rash decision.
"Just before you do anything with Helena, just think about honestly what you do want, because I don't know if Shakira will [get back with you]," he continued.
"I'm only trying to say that as a friend, it's just that f******, you might end up with nobody.
Connor added: "Just think about what you have first with Helena. And like, I think it's quite rare to be honest, like, what, like, what you do have."
This is when Harry thought that his partnership with Helena was "more friendly" and his connection with Shakira was more "relationship focussed".
Conor replied: "That's fine. Man, that's like, you know, that's how you feel.
"No one can blame you for how you feel, but you just need to communicate it man.
Just think about honestly what you do want, because I don't know if Shakira will [get back with you]

"You know what I mean? Rather than coasting along and then people getting blindsided."
In his beach hut confessional, Conor couldn't help but dissect the situation further.
"I don't feel bad for Harry unfortunately. You're [a] 30 year old man, I think you should maybe know a bit better than to play around with people's emotions like that."
Droves of fans took to social media to praise Conor for his stern words after watching scenes.

Writing on Instagram, one wrote: "Connor stood on business with this statement."
A second quoted: "Connor 'I don't feel sorry for Harry … he shouldn't play with people's emotions … he's a 30 year old man," followed by three clapping hand applause emojis.
"One thing about Conor is he's gonna tell the truth," stated a third fan.
As a fourth said: "Liked how Conor really asked the right questions and showed that's not fine how he acted."
Adding: "He also kept it to himself what Harry said until Helena sorted her relationship with him. Respect

Love Island fans slam girl for shock snide remark during tense Couple Goals challenge – did you spot it?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans were left raging at one of the Love Island girls as the Couple Goals challenge turned vicious. During tonight's episode, the remaining islanders were told to lay out their truths to the group - with some shocking consequences.

But another comment barely registered by the group in comparison truly ruffled the feathers of those watching from home. Jamie and Yas, who have been one of the strongest couples in the group throughout the show's run, were forced to defend their relationship as the game continued. With Jamie speaking openly about his feelings for Yas, it seemed like it was too much for one of the girls. Angel eventually aired her feelings and spoke out with a barbed: "Yeah, we get it". Fans did not appreciate it, and warned Angel to back off him. "Angel pipe down, don't speak to Jamie," one fan wrote on X. Another added: "Angel less of your attitude towards Jamie" Others thought it was a choice on Angel's behalf to align herself with Meg and her side of the girl group – especially seeing as Meg was clashing with Toni and Shakira during the game. "Angel somehow went in and chose the worst group of girls to associate with while not having a back bone," wrote one. While another said: "Angel forever trying to gain validation from #them lot. People who don't have a mind of their own and try so hard for acceptance SCARE ME #LoveIsland" Despite the comment, Jamie and Yas managed to let the evening pass them – and they ended the evening on a high note, officially becoming 'exclusive' as a couple.

Love Island viewers are left shocked at the biggest divide in show's history as tensions reach breaking point just days before finale
Love Island viewers left shocked during Wednesday's episode as the girls proved the divide was still well and truly in place. Called the biggest divide in the show's history, the entire series has centred around the ongoing feud between the two groups of girls: Shakira, Toni and Yas versus Meg and Helena. The Islanders continued to take part in the tense Couple Goals challenge - but when the Islanders were asked 'Which couple are you most scared to give your honest opinion on?' shockwaves were sent through the Villa. Shakira and Harry chose Meg and Dejon, which did not go down well. 'I think if people were honest in the first place and told us to our faces instead of saying it constantly behind our back, it would be a different story,' Meg raged. Shakira responded: 'You throwing around the fake word is rich to be honest. I don't know why you keep acting like we're the best of mates in here. 'From day one, you were very standoffish with any girl that was posed as a threat.' 'I think you've called every single person in this Villa fake,' Meg bit back, to which Shakira said: 'No, I will never pretend to be your mate.' Meg interrupted 'You won't be my friend on the outside' before Shakira said: 'I will never speak to you on the outside. I honestly can't stand you sometimes.' But that wasn't all because when it comes to Meg and Dejon's turn to answer, both Meg and Blu become embroiled in a back and forth with Toni before Blu brands Toni a 'pick-me girl'. The chaos came just two episodes after Toni brought the girls around the firepit to try and bridge the divide and call a truce. But recent scenes have shown the divide is as strong as ever. Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen,'; 'I've watched love island since Series 1 and this series is hands down the most uncomfortable to watch. This girl divide is f****n awful. The smart ass comments thrown about, the sly digs, the ganging up on 1 girl…it's actually draining,'; 'The Great Villa Divide of 2025 is alive and well,'; 'I've never seen THIS strong of a divide in the villa before,'; 'so funny they had a whole convo about no more divide and now it's like even worse AHAHAHAH,'; 'So much for Tonie and Meg wanting to squash the divide between the girls .. It's gone further apart since their girls intervention the other night'. While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away. They wrote: 'I've never seen such a hostile final week omg these lot are about to start a world war… 'It's the final week and there's STILL drama??? this literally never happens,' 'The most toxic love island season ever,'; 'The most toxic love island season ever - they really hate each other and it will be awkward for them on the outside,'; Viewers said: 'The divide is actually insane… i'm sat here raging at my TV screen' 'This season is so toxic. The producers seem to be pushing harmful narratives but we will have confirmation when the winners are announced. That was an uncomfortable watch. Disgusting,'; 'Why are the cast so toxic with each other wtf never seen anything like this imagine the reunion,'; 'THIS IS THE MOST TOXIC SEASON OF LOVE ISLAND EVER.' The chaos of Wednesday's episode came just days after Toni pulled Meg to clear the air as she blamed the boys in the villa for the apparent divide between the girls. The US-native, 24, pulled her fellow islander, 25, to the fire as she confess that the believed the root of all their problems were the boys. As they sit down in the iconic villa, Toni tells her: 'What I think is the root of the divide, is really the boys.' To which Meg says: 'It's so stupid for us to argue over these little things.' While others noted that they had never seen such a 'toxic' series, especially with the finale just days away Toni adds: 'I know that we're all friends at the end of the day', that prompts Meg to say: 'I'm not going to hold any grudges against what you guys said. You know I love you.' The pair then decided to gather all of the girls over, too. Toni said: 'At the end of the day, we know we're all friends here. They're [the boys] the problem!' The girls all enjoy a group hug as they attempt to put all their previous issues a side.
