LOVE Island star Harrison Solomon insisted 'I didn't mean to hurt anyone' as he returned to social media.
The footballer, 22, quit the ITV2 dating show following a controversial villa stint.
Viewers watched on as Harrison became involved in a dramatic love triangle with Lauren Wood and Toni Laites.
Taking to Instagram, he captioned the post: "Back on home turf and carrying every lesson with me.
"What a whirlwind, confusing, raw, beautiful in parts, and deeply humbling.
"I entered with the intention not to hurt anyone.
"Truthfully, although I didn’t manage that, I leave with a heart more open, and a soul willing to learn.
"Life isn’t always easy, it’s felt, it’s flawed, it’s full of growth.
"Thank you to those who saw the good in me even when I struggled to see it myself. This is just the beginning."
One follower commented: "You and Toni could have won if you didn't treat her so horribly, anyways TONI & CACH to win."
Another wrote: "Better post an update on you and Lauren!!!!!"
A third added: "Well done you. It takes a big person to admit they were wrong and to apologise in the way that you did."
Harrison entered the villa as a bombshell and soon coupled up with Toni.
He made the switch to Lauren during the classic Casa Amor twist - and they later had sex in the villa.
Lauren, 26, who works as a dog walker in York, was booted from the villa on Wednesday night.
She begged Harrison to follow and, 24 hours later, he made the choice to go.
Following his big villa exit, Harrison has since arrived back in the UK.
The controversial Islander was seen embracing his loved ones as they celebrated his return.
Meanwhile, he and Lauren are set to reunite on spin-off show Aftersun.
Love Island airs on ITV2 and ITVX.
