Love Island's Harrison reveals why he's NOT gone official with Lauren – despite plans to move in together
LOVE Island lothario Harrison Solomon has revealed why he hasn't gone official with Lauren Wood despite quitting the villa to be with her. The footballer, 22, was embroiled in a controversial love triangle with Lauren and Toni for most of his villa stay, breaking both their hearts along the way. 4 4 After Lauren was dumped, Harrison did some soul-searching and decided to leave to give things a go with her. And it seems like his family will have the final say as to whether things get more serious between them. Speaking on the Love Island: Morning After podcast, he said: "I feel like we want to get to know each other a little bit more away from the villa. "Obviously the villa's a very secluded environment it's different on the outside so it's nice to get to know each other, go on a few dates without cameras and microphones." Looking cosy beside Lauren, he continued: "For me it was a big thing about her meeting my family before I made anything official. But I left the villa for Lauren and I do think a lot of her. I feel like we'll be boyfriend and girlfriend soon, no doubt." An extra spanner in the works is the fact Harrison is based in Miami, and he isn't sure if he wants to return to the UK permanently just yet. However, on social media today, Harrison left fans scratching their heads when he said the pair were moving in together next week. He said: 'This is us in Harrods. I was buying a Fenty table for our first house together. 'Yeah, crazy. We move in next week.' Viewers flooded the comments in disbelief, with one writing: "Are you actually moving in together or was he joking?" Watch moment Love Island's Harrison takes savage swipe at villa couple and says there's 'no chance' they will win Meanwhile, on his post-villa media rounds, Harrison stopped by Capital radio and revealed who he wants to win the series. He said he hopes pal Harry will scoop first place, though laughed that he thinks he has "zero chance". Giving his top three, Harrison said: "Harry and Helena, D[ejon] and Meg second, and then Shakira and Con. I think that would be my top three, if I could choose." Lauren agreed and added: "That would be my top three, probably. Maybe change to Yas and Jamie for third, but I don't think that's who I think will win." Both agreed that they thought Toni and Cach would win. "I think Yaz and Jamie will be there, up there as well," noted Harrison. "But yeah, H and Helen, D and Meg, yeah, no good. There's no chance at all. "I would like to see them win, of course, because they're my boys in there." Lauren added: "Helena and Harry, I do think they get on, but I just think they're not very serious, and I think on the outside, Harry would be a little s**t." Harrison laughed before adding, "Yeah, fair enough!" The Love Island final date has been confirmed as August 4 when the remaining contestants will find out who will scoop the £50,000 prize. 4

Love Island's Lauren reveals ‘real reason' why she took Harrison back after secret scene was CUT from TV
LAUREN Wood has explained why she decided to take back Harrison Solomon after his antics in the Love Island villa. The dumped islander has gone "official" with Harrison since quitting the show, with the pair even talking about moving in together after just a few short weeks. 6 6 6 But the start of their romance was far from easy, with Harrison quitting the show after entangling himself in a love triangle with Lauren and Toni Laites. Backing and forthing between the two women ultimately caused Harrison to decide to exit the series early, shortly after Lauren was dumped and she begged him to go with her. With them both now on the outside, the pair have decided to give things a go - though talking on Love Island's Morning After podcast, it seemed there was more to their reunion than met the eye. "Leaving made me realise I want to be with Harrison," she told hosts Amy Hart and Max Balegde: . "The last few days leading up to me leaving, I'd cried every single day and said I just want to go home. "I didn't want to be there, and they just said, 'give it a go with Ty. Give it a go with Ty'. I couldn't forget about Harrison. Like, as much as he's hurt me, I felt like deep down I knew that things were going to work out and we were meant to be." Speaking about his previous behaviour, Lauren said: "Obviously I was upset and angry with him for his actions. "We'd said a couple of things for the days that we were meant to be staying away from each other. "I feel like we still give each other the little looks. Then on the night that I left, he kept saying are you okay? You okay? "And after few days of not saying a lot, I said to him I miss you, and I knew that we were going to have a chat." "Then obviously, I had that chat with him, and I feel like, for the viewers, they all just thought, 'Why is she asking him to leave with him when they've not even made up?'" she added. Watch moment Love Island's Harrison takes savage swipe at villa couple and says there's 'no chance' they will win "But we'd briefly had a conversation, and he'd said he was wanting to close things off with me." "I asked him out of emotion. I probably shouldn't have asked him that, because it was a big thing to ask, but at the time, I just thought, I want him to leave with me, I want to be with him. I want to make it work." "As much as he'd hurt me, I was willing to try and move forward and forget the past, because he's made a mistake," she concluded. "We all make mistakes. I just think he made a pretty big mistake, but I do think like he did that out of emotion, and he knows he shouldn't have done that." Her comments come shortly after Lauren said she felt Harrison had proved himself in her eyes when it came to romance. "It did affect the trust, him doing what he's done, but I do think, genuinely, him doing that and seeing how much upset he caused made him realise he needs to communicate better," she said. "He can't do things like that, and I do think deep down, he never meant to hurt anyone. He just got lost in his feelings and acted in a wrong way and made a silly mistake." "I think him leaving the villa showed me everything I needed to know," she concluded. "You're not gonna leave the villa if you're not sure of someone, and I think that showed me everything." 6 6 6

Love Island's Harrison gives huge relationship update with Lauren and reveals who he thinks will win
Harrison Solomon has given a huge relationship update after leaving the Love Island villa with Lauren Wood and revealed who he thinks will win the series. The footballer, 22, quit the Majorca villa on Friday after becoming embroiled in a love triangle with Toni Laites, 24, and Lauren, 26, which saw him shamelessly go back and forth between the two women, causing weeks of upset and conflict. After his dramatic exit, Harrison and Lauren have proved they are going strong on the outside in their first joint interview. The TV personality, who has been studying in Florida at the University of New Hampshire, revealed he will be staying in the UK to be with Lauren. Speaking to The Mirror, Harrison said: As it stands, I'm not going back to America. Coming off Love Island, I want to be around people who love and support me — my family, my friends… and Lauren.' 'That day without her made me realise what I wanted. It wasn't a good 24 hours. I just sat and reflected. I went in to find something real, and I knew that was Lauren.' Elsewhere, Harrison said who he thinks will win the series during an appearance on Capital XTRA Breakfast with Robert Bruce and Shayna Marie. He admitted: 'I think Toni and Cach will win. I think Yas and Jamie will be up there as well. But yeah, Harry and Helena, D [Dejon] and Meg are no good. 'There's no chance at all. But yeah, I think it will be Toni and Cach, honestly.' Harrison recently hit out at Women's Aid after the charity accused him of 'misogyny' and 'sexism' during his controversial stint on the show. His treatment of Lauren and Toni was condemned by viewers but much to his dismay, Women's Aid also criticised his actions by releasing a damning statement claiming his behaviour 'reinforces a culture that excuses and trivialises violence against women and girls.' The Derby-born Islander had a relationship with US waitress Toni before embarking on a new romance with Lauren after meeting her in rival villa Casa Amor, with the couple becoming the first to have sex on the ITV2 show this series. But Harrison then sparked outrage by convincing Toni, who was unaware he had slept with Lauren, to rekindle, leaving the distraught influencer in floods of tears. Shortly after their bedroom antics were exposed, Lauren was dumped from the villa and followed out the door by Harrison, who was quickly informed of Women's Aid's criticism which left him dumbstruck. Breaking his silence in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Harrison insisted the charity was wrong to call him out and claims the nature of the statement upset his family. He said: 'I have seen the backlash and it's hard to digest. I would disagree with a lot of it in terms of my respect for women, I do respect women. 'The worst has been from Women's Aid. I know myself and the girls on the show too, Toni said she knows I'm not a bad person, just went about situations in the wrong way, but the Women's Aid statement wasn't nice... it's not nice coming out of the villa to my mum upset by that so I would say that's been the hardest.' He added: 'To the women I have hurt, I am obviously sorry. I got it wrong and the back and forth between the two connections caused more harm than I ever intended. 'It wasn't ever an ego thing. I am not proud of how I handled things and I'm not going to make excuses. 'I just want to own it. If people can give me the space to grow from it, I will do everything I can to be better and that's the only thing I can do. 'There is no handbook for how to be on a show like Love Island. It's instincts and intentions. I got some of it right, but I know I got a lot of it wrong, and I know that now.' Tune into Capital XTRA Breakfast with Robert Bruce & Shayna Marie weekdays from 6:30am-10:00am, also available on the Global Player app.

Dumped Love Island couple reveal they're already moving in together – just days after leaving the villa
LOVE Island's dumped couple have barely had time to unpack their bikinis - but they're already packing up to move in together next week. The smitten pair wasted no time taking their relationship to the next level after leaving the villa, revealing plans to shack up just days after returning home. 5 5 Lauren Wood, 26, was brutally dumped from the villa - but not before begging Harrison Soloman, 22, to walk out with her. While he stayed behind at first, Harrison made a dramatic exit the very next day in a shock twist that left viewers stunned. Now the lovebirds are inseparable, flaunting their romance all over social media with loved-up snaps, cosy date nights and shopping for decor for their new house. Lauren gave fans a glimpse into their loved-up life with a TikTok of her day with Harrison - complete with his cheeky voiceover running through it. From having lunch at Harrods to double dates with former islanders, Harrison's commentary had fans howling. Harrison shocked fans when he said: 'This is us in Harrods, I was buying a Fenty table for our first house together. 'Yeah, crazy. We move in next week.' Another penned: "Moving in next week? Wow congrats!" A third exclaimed: "MOVE WHERE NEXT WEEK??" They were then joined by axed Islanders Tommy and Casa Amor girl Lucy. The ex-Islanders headed to celebrity hangout Sheesh for a boozy night out. Tommy had his eyes on the food while Lucy posed for the camera. This comes after the controversial star sparked fix claims after he shared a big villa secret. Love Island 2025 - Casa Amor girls WHO are the latest bombshells heading into the spin-off villa? The Sun exclusively reported the identities of the six beauties heading into the ITV2 spin-off villa, after it was teased during last week's episode. The Love Island newbies were seen strolling into the compound clad in swimwear - with one already having a connection to Harry. On the show's official Instagram page it teased: "Amor the merrier… who's ready for Casa Amor?" and now we can report the full line-up. Lauren Wood, 26, Emma Munro, 30 Lucy Quinn, 21 Yasmin Broom, 26 Andrada Pop, 27 Rheo Parnell, 26 In the viral video, Harrison was approached inside a London Boots branch by a fan who recognised him and immediately grilled him about the show. The fan told him: 'Mad guy innit? Bouncing between two gyal and them things there. But you know what? I rate it though.' Harrison replied: 'Appreciate that man… Lauren was one of the girls in the triangle, man. And I chose Lauren. Now I'm back home.' The fan pressed on, asking whether the drama is genuine or played up for the cameras. Harrison insisted: 'Yeah, it's real. It's real. Mad.' But it's his next comment that's raised eyebrows among viewers. Harrison admitted: 'They'll like put people together and stuff like that to have conversations and stuff like that.' The fan then chimed in with: 'I know one of the Love Islanders, they told me like, yo they'll tell you like, cool, just bless you with that person.' Harrison replied: 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. They'll say that shit. Fair enough.' The clip sparked speculation that producers may be manipulating scenes for entertainment. In response, a Love Island spokesperson told The Sun: 'I think it's worth pointing out that he says twice in that clip that the drama is real himself. "For guidance, the opinions the Islanders have, decisions they make and the relationships formed are completely within the control of the Islanders themselves. "What is shown is an accurate representation of villa life.' 5 5

Love Island's controversial star Harrison sparks fix row as he shares big villa secret
LOVE Island has been hit with fresh 'fix' claims after controversial star Harrison Solomon was caught spilling behind-the-scenes secrets in a fan-recorded TikTok. In the viral video, Harrison, 22, is approached inside a London Boots branch by a fan who recognises him and immediately grills him about the show. 5 He says in disbelief: 'I swear you're the guy from Love Island, innit? There is no way,' before diving into questions about Harrison's antics on the show. The admirer adds: 'Mad guy innit? Bouncing between two gyal and them things there. But you know what? I rate it though.' Harrison, who found himself at the centre of a love triangle in the villa, responds: 'Appreciate that man… Lauren was one of the gyal in the triangle, man. And I chose Lauren. Now I'm back home.' When asked what the villa is 'really like' behind the scenes, Harrison - joined by 26-year-old Lauren Wood - replies: 'Bro it's crazy… challenges, everything, all sorts man. Drama every day.' The fan presses on, asking whether the drama is genuine or played up for the cameras. Harrison insists: 'Yeah, it's real. It's real. Mad.' But it's his next comment that's raised eyebrows among viewers. Harrison admits: 'They'll like put people together and stuff like that to have conversations and stuff like that.' The fan then chimes in with: 'I know one of the Love Islanders, they told me like, yo they'll tell you like, cool, just bless you with that person.' Harrison replies: 'Yeah yeah yeah. They'll say that shit. Fair enough.' The clip sparked speculation that producers may be manipulating scenes for entertainment. Love Island's Harrison and Lauren cosy up on romantic double date with villa couple just days after his shock show exit In response, a Love Island spokesperson told The Sun: 'I think it's worth pointing out that he says twice in that clip that the drama is real himself. "For guidance, the opinions the Islanders have, decisions they make and the relationships formed are completely within the control of the Islanders themselves. "What is shown is an accurate representation of villa life.' Harrison decided to quit the show in a surprise move after Lauren was dumped from the 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 continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX. 5 5 5 5
