Over the course of the last week, Harry has been seen fighting for the affection of multiple girls – coupling up with Helena, before secretly snogging bombshell Yasmin in the Hideaway, and then trying to win back Shakira, whom he had a connection with at the beginning of the show.
However, it's become clear it won't be that easy, with Shakira bluntly telling him he'll need a "personality transplant" if she were to consider getting back with him.
Speaking with Dejon by the firepit about his predicament, his pal tried to offer him words of comfort, but admitted he felt Harry had a bigger connection with Helena.
A red-eyed Harry then admitted: "I just have, like, nothing, do you know what I mean? It's just like, one minute we're good and then it's just like she can't even be around me.
"It's like.. it's just weird, man. I will never be the same now, after the way I've acted."
But Sam wasn't buying it, telling host Maya: "I'm a skeptic, so I think that he's laying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, going, 'I'm gonna look terrible, I need to cry!'"
When asked if he thought they were crocodile tears, Sam hesitated before saying: "I don't know if they're crocodile, but I feel like it's more panic about how he's looking than how he feels about the girl in question."
After airing the clip, Maya Jama asked Harry's mum Julia how she felt about seeing her son, who declared it was "good" he finally seemed to be feeling bad about his actions.
Amy Hart had a slightly more empathetic take, believing that the pressure of the villa was beginning to get to the islander.
"I think it's like a release," she explained to the group. The villa is such a pressure cooker, and there's so much going on, and normally you'd go out with your mates, like go to the pub or whatever, or go out for a run or something.
Watch moment Harry reveals he's FAKING his feelings for Shakira to stay in the Love Island villa
"But you can't do any of that. So I think that's just how it came out."
The full scenes and what led up to Harry's emotional moment will be aired on tonight's show, with the footballer finding himself in a rut with Helena.
Viewers previously begged Helena, 29, to stop being a "doormat" and dump Harry, 30, for good after he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin in the Hideaway.
Their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night, despite them both initially denying it.
His confession prompted the blonde beauty to storm off - before her villa pal Megan Forte Clarke, 24, unleashed a sweary rant.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Love Island fans ‘calling the police' as Islander goes missing saying ‘has she secretly gone home?'
LOVE Island fans say they're "calling the police" as Alima went missing again. It came as Harry tried to graft Shakira last night, Toni and Shakira cleared the air with Emily, and Megan revealed she wasn't sexually attracted to Tommy. 3 3 But as all the drama unfolded, original girl Alima was nowhere to be seen. She was only mentioned when Shea branded her "boring" in a challenge, when asked to describe each islander with one word. Fans have been up in arms over Alima's poor edit. One said: "I would like to report a missing person. Her name is Alima and if you do see her let us know." Another wanted to know: "Does Alima even enjoy her time in the villa? I feel like that villa is so toxic and that's why she's always missing from group settings and just vibing alone w her mans." Another raised the alarm, writing: "MISSING ALERT Alima's been missing from our screens! If she returns please contact me!" And a fourth said: "Is it just me or have these two been properly stitched up in the edits? Barely seen them the last 3 or 4 eps…I think one of those two are definitely out next." Fans previously called Alima a "supporting character" in the villa. Alima is coupled up with 24-year-old bombshell Remell Mullings. Despite recent tensions, a U-turn saw them share a passionate kiss. However, show alums Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack had earlier predicted things could go awry for the couple. Love Island hosts predict doom for couple claiming villa boy is stringing girl along after her surprise U-turn Speaking on their Love Island: Morning After podcast, Amy said: "Thing is as well, with Remell and Alima, most people can count, right? "You go in the villa and there's more boys than girls. Which means that boys will be at risk. "So, I need to find a girl - and I'm not saying that Alima was an easy option. "She's a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and she's amazing." Continuing, Amy remarked how Remell "didn't even speak to anyone else" and observed her bond with Blu wasn't the strongest. She added: "He saw her and was like, 'That's my target' and then now he's wanting to kiss people in the challenge. "I just think, on paper, it looks like Remell came straight in for Alima, went for her and now they're in a couple. "Whereas it's not all those things." The villa couple previously butted heads when Remell kissed anyone but his partner in a challenge. Alima told him: 'I think you were so disrespectful, I'm not gonna lie…do you feel like you did everything right?' Their conversation continued, as Alima added: 'You say you like me and do things that just don't match, it's worse you can't even take accountability…maybe we're not compatible…" 3

Harry 'will invite Royal Family to Invictus Games' - but there's huge clash
Reports have suggested that Prince Harry is keen to extend invitations for the Royal Family to attend the next Invictus Games, which takes place in Birmingham in 2027 Prince Harry plans to invite the King and other royals to his next Invictus Games in Birmingham, it has been reported. It is said that email invitations will be sent later this month, with formal invitations to follow, which would be the strongest indication that the Duke of Sussex is keen on reconciliation with his family. The next Invictus Games is being held at the NEX in Birming from July 10 to 17, 2027, and it is claimed that sending invitations soon would give Charles and the rest of the royals the best chance of attending. However, it could prove a headache for the Palace as the games end on the same day that Queen Camilla turns 80. A source told the Mail On Sunday: "Harry has agreed that Invictus should extend an invitation to his family. Invictus hopes the Royal Family will come along to support the wounded veterans taking part. Harry is hopeful his father will set aside their differences to attend the Invictus Games and support veterans. "The Royals have always been hugely supportive of Invictus and proud of what Harry has achieved in that arena. This is one olive branch from him which might be reciprocated." Just weeks ago, Harry revealed he is no longer speaking to his father, but admitted he would like reconciliation with him and his older brother Prince William. The rift between the Sussexes and the royal family opened significantly following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, during which they alleged a member of the family was concerned about their son Archie's skin tone before he was born. Then the duke claimed in his controversial memoir, Spare, that William had physically attacked him, that the King put his own interests above Harry's and was jealous of Meghan. But Harry's decision to speak out appears to have worsened the chances of an end to his estrangement, amid suggestions the King, who is still being treated for cancer, and the Prince of Wales will fear more than ever that any conversation with the duke would end up in the public domain. Meanwhile, it remains to be seen when the games are held in the UK in just over two years if Harry will bring his wife Meghan and children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with him. Last month, Harry lost his appeal against the dismissal of his High Court claim against the Home Office over the decision of the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) that he should receive a different degree of protection when in the UK. Speaking at the time, he said the Court of Appeal decision means it is now "impossible" for him to bring Meghan and their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet back to the UK safely. In an interview with the BBC, he said: "I can't see a world in which I will be bringing my wife and children back to the UK at this point and the things they are going to miss is everything. I love my country and always have what some people in that country have done. He continued: "So I miss the UK. I miss parts of the UK. Of course, I do. I think it's really quite sad that I won't be able to show my children my homeland." A spokesman for Invictus said: "No formal invitations have been issued as preparations are in the early stages."
