He's been coupled up with US star Toni Laites, 24, although not without their rocky patches.

Taking to X, fans branded the footballer as "fake" and claimed he's using Toni as means to stay in the villa.

One wrote on X: "I feel like Harrison knew he could go so he's grabbed Toni to keep himself there. So fake #LoveIsland."

Another added: "Harrison is using Toni to stay in the villa, because he knows Helena will choose Harry in an instance and his place in the villa is jeopardised. #LoveIsland #LoveIslandUK."

A third shared: "I want toni to be happy but i just feel like harrison is using her.

"If helena wasn’t all for harry they both would’ve went for it and that’s the only reason he ain’t going for her #loveisland #loveislanduk."

 

While a fourth chimed in: "Nah Harrison is only going to graft for Toni because he knows Helena is using him."

Toni previously dumped Harrison in explosive scenes - after a secret kiss came to light.

The footballer confessed he'd kissed fellow Islander Helena on the terrace.

It happened as Toni was on a date with new bombshell arrival Ryan.

He told her: “I was just talking with Helena, we had a little chat and we had one kiss..."

Toni is not best pleased by this revelation and has a few choice words for Harrison before she walks off, leaving Harrison to reflect on his choices.

The following morning, in an attempt to make amends on Toni’s birthday, Harrison prepared breakfast, including eggs sunny side up, red roses, and a handwritten note.

He enlisted the other boys to sing “Happy Birthday” as Toni arrived.

Some viewers feared Toni could even walk away from the ITV2 dating show.

However, the couple later reconciled after Harrison said he'd stop getting to know Helena.

 

Will they manage to go the distance, or is more drama in store for them?

Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
