Tommy and Casa Amor's Lucy joined them at celebrity hangout Sheesh
It followed his love triangle with her and Toni Laites, which drew criticism from charity Women's Aid.
On Monday night, Harrison appeared to put the backlash behind him as he stepped out with Lauren.
They were joined by axed Islanders Tommy and Casa Amor girl Lucy, who were dumped after Shakira and Ty had the power to axe one couple.
The ex-Islanders headed to celebrity hangout Sheesh for a boozy night out.
Lucy shared a clip of her enjoying a glass of wine while cheersing her glass with Tommy's.
The blonde bombshell then turned the camera around to show Lauren and Harrison sitting opposite them sipping on cocktails.
Lauren flashed a big smile, while Harrison gave a big thumbs up.
Their outing comes just a day after they were seen out and about in London, packing on the PDA in Knightsbridge.
They were seen kissing, cuddling and gazing into each other's eyes just hours after their fiery appearance on Love Island's Aftersun which was hosted by Maya Jama on Sunday night.
Harrison decided to quit the show in a surprise move after Lauren was dumped from the villa.
Love Island's fans slam Harrison's 'scripted' apology as he reunites with Lauren on Aftersun after quitting villa
Lauren begged him to go with her, but he said he wanted to sleep on it.
The following day, Harrison announced to the Islanders that he was leaving the process.
Harrison and Lauren had sex while in the villa together, which caused divided opinions among viewers.
Upon his exit, Harrison was asked how he felt about his mum and dad knowing what he had done on television.
He said: 'I hope they didn't see. But listen, it was a natural thing.
'I don't think I intended to have sex in the villa, but in there all the Islanders could tell we were so attracted to each other.
'Naturally, it was going to happen.
'The spark between us was crazy.
'I probably wasn't thinking about my parents and them watching it, but it naturally happened and I don't regret it.'
The controversial Islander was then slammed for his "scripted" apology after he appeared on Aftersun on Sunday.
Harrison said he felt the point that his romancing of both girls went too far was after he'd slept with Lauren.
"I think maybe when we did bits," he said. "Probably took it a little bit too far talking to Toni after that.
"I obviously regret that massively and I apologise to both the girls but, yeah, it wasn't good for me."
He then said if he had his time again he would have had up front conversations with Toni and Lauren earlier to save them getting upset.
But viewers weren't buying his latest apology, with one writing on X: "Harrison has CLEARLY wrote a speech and memorised it this is not genuine."
Another said: "Harrison has gotten away with what he's done way too easily."
A third posted: "Harrison's not sorry for sh*t."
A fourth said: "Is anyone buying this with Harrison?"
"I'm glad no one clapped at Harrison's poor excuse of an apology."

Love Island fans fume at show bosses for giving Shakira the 'villain edit' during the Grafties - after 'convincing' her to stay following emotional breakdown
Love Island fans have hit out at show bosses during Thursday's episode after they were left unimpressed by how Shakira Khan was given the 'villain edit'. Prior to the episode airing, It was reported that the 22-year-old threatened to quit the ITV2 dating show over the situation with Harry. A source told The Sun: 'She went to the beach hut and asked to leave the villa. 'The duty of care team were able to help her through her emotions and she decided to stay.' In the latest episode of the ITV show, the infamous Grafties returned - where contestants are shown clips on a big screen that either revive past drama or highlight hilarious moments that most of the villa hadn't seen before. The nominees for the Best Double Act award were Dejon and Helena, Toni and Shakira, and Helena and Meg. During the clips, Toni and Shakira were seen talking negatively about Meg, following movie night. After watching the gossip on the big screen, Meg said she felt that Shakira and Toni were 'fake to her face,' prompting Toni to fire back: 'So are you. You act like you never say a bad thing about anyone.' Next came Helena and Meg's clip, which, in contrast, highlighted their blossoming friendship in the villa. Toni and Shakira went on to win the award, with Shakira saying: 'We said what we said, it was after Movie Night. 'I don't know why it's so surprising, we had a scrap that night.' Fans are now calling out show bosses for giving Shakira the 'villain edit' during the game. They raged on X: 'If they hurt Shakira anymore I'm literally going to stay for the credits, note down each producers name and HUNT THEM DOWN,' 'The producers convincing Shakira to stay in the villa so she could get attacked at the grafties is just evil #LoveIsland,' 'The fact we've seen Shakira be so sad, open & vulnerable recently. And now the producers are gonna paint her out to be bad with the Grafties, and make her feel even worse :(( i don't wanna watch,' 'Look at the clip they used for Meg and Helena vs the one they used for Shakira and Toni, and tell me again with a straight face that there isn't a clear agenda,' 'Why are the producers giving Shakira and Toni this bad edit!' 'Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Shakira ends up leaving after the Grafties give her a bad edit. Her mental health is really suffering,' MailOnline has contacted ITV bosses for comment. It comes after there was a wave of concern for Shakira's mental health, who fans said already appears 'emotionally drained' on the programme. Viewers penned on X: 'funny how love island preaches about mental health and how the public should go easy on the islanders only to THEMSELVES use the most amount of vids of shakira for the grafties to push the mean girl narrative and sent back in megan one of the buIIies', 'this princess deserved so much better. i hope she walks for her own mental health. shakira you are loved worldwide and are better than love island', 'Shakira is emotionally drained and not okay Love Island uk is responsible for her mental health the contestants the producers the therapists everyone', 'Really not keen on the production team for the constant shots thrown at shakira. We only see one hour of the whole day and it's clear she's down and not feeling herself. Where's the mental health team love island are so vocal about? #LoveIslandUK'. However others were quick to defend Shakira's decision, with tweets including: 'Shakira is so real that she's willing to leave the villa without a man or winning instead of faking it with Conor till the end, if anything we can be proud of her for staying true to herself but damn Harry?!? ''I do like him, I just don't like him enough'', you know what Shakira that's real;' ''I just wanna be single forever'' Shakira this is so real;' 'Well you can't say Shakira is a game-player! She could have faked it with Ty and Conor to get to the final and potentially win but looks like she dgaf about winning or getting to the final;' Shakira has always been so honest and upfront in her couples., she's a genuine sensitive girl who won't fake s**t for the sake of it. Love her so much;' One thing about Shakira she'll follow her heart no matter if she's favourite couple or not at the bottom;' 'Wait now I'm kinda glad Meg is back because it softens the blow and makes Shakira feel better;' MailOnline has contacted Love Island for comment. In recent days, Shakira has been in floods of tears and has persistently said she 'can't wait to leave the villa' following a rocky start to her journey with Harry Cooksley. During the episode Shakira shut down her short-lived romance with Conor Phillips after struggling to get over her feelings for Harry. Last week, Shakira broke down in tears after a heated row with Conor after Harrison said during the Couple Of Sorts game that she had deeper feelings for Harry - who she was paired with earlier in the series. She told Conor: 'It's been twisted and you've wanted to believe the boys straight away. It's ego and pride. Wake up, Conor. 'They're literally the biggest game-players here. When have I ever lied to you? Their argument leaves Shakira feeling upset and she goes to Toni and Yasmin for comfort. Upset with the rugby lad, she said: 'I don't want to be surrounded by them all the time.

Whilst the feud has been clear to see and has been hinted at many times in the villa, it was only during tonight's Grafties that all six girls were forced to confront the issues head on. It came as Toni and Shakira collected the award for Best Double Act but fans were quick to slam this decision by insisting it was a rigged edit in order to portray the two girls in a negative light ahead of the series finale in just over a week's time. In the scenes, the group saw a video of Toni and Shakira expressing their disdain for Meg after a number of clashes with the star. They also took issue with Helena and for her close bond with Meg. In response, Meg appeared defensive and annoyed as she swiped at Toni and Shakira: "You two are crazy for saying all that about me!" Sharkia then replied: "How? We had an argument that night?" Meg then told the pair that they were "fake" to her to which the girls insisted that "was the point". Toni said: "Meg, so are you.

As the Islanders bickered over the divide for the first time, unhappy fans grumbled at show bosses by claiming the episode was "rigged" to portray Shakira and Toni negatively despite them being the ones to appear to have been isolated by other members of the group, whilst Meg and Helena appeared to be shown in a much more positive light. Writing on X following the airing of the scenes, one fan said: "Nah these f***ing producers have p***ed me off.... why are they not showing all the f***ing s*** muggy Meg and hideaway Helena have said.

Another added: "Producer at it again making meg and Helena look like they don't chat s*** about people I swear this show is so rigged." A third went on to say: "This is actually rigged how have they made MEG look like a saint." Someone else said: "This show is rigged. I've wasted weeks for this?"
