Love Island UK released a new episode on July 25, 2025. In this episode, Helena spoke to Harry about the video clips that were shown at The Grafties, a public-voted award night at the villa where Islanders watched unseen footage and received trophies for various categories. The clips revealed Harry's ongoing chats with his exes, Emma and Shakira. Addressing the same, Helena stated:

“I’ve backed you the whole time I’ve been in here and you fail me every single time.”

The footage led to heightened tension between the pair, with Helena questioning Harry’s loyalty and intentions, especially after he had recently asked her to be exclusive. By the end of their conversation, Helena decided to walk away from the relationship.

During The Grafties, Harry’s exchange with his ex-girlfriend Emma was played for the entire villa. In the flashback, Harry told Emma he would always have love for her and admitted he couldn't "compare" anyone to her.

The video clip concluded with Emma saying she would see him "back at home in bed," followed by Harry replying:

“See you at home, dear. Cut the house off the market, won’t we?”

Back at the Love Island UK villa, Helena reacted to the clip by calling Harry a "joke" and said she didn’t expect him to talk about being in bed with his ex-girlfriend on the outside. Harry attempted to explain that they had a long history and that he still had "love" for Emma, but Helena responded that:

“Saying I love you and having love for you in the same sentence is crazy.”

The situation escalated further when a second clip showed Harry’s private conversation with Shakira. In the segment, Harry asked Shakira:

“Do you think it would have been better for you if we stayed together? I think it would have been a better experience.”

Shakira replied that she disagreed, saying she believed he "would have just continued hurting me." After the video, Helena confronted Harry and pointed out his earlier statement about Shakira, specifically the "better experience" comment. Harry responded:

"She was very down and I said I think it would have been a better experience if we stayed together, and tried to clarify that he was only trying to comfort Shakira.

Shakira herself confirmed that Harry was referring to her during the chat, calling it "about me to be fair."

Later, in a one-on-one interaction, Helena expressed her feelings about everything that had happened. She told Harry she felt like a "f**king idiot", referring to how she had stood by him in the Love Island UK villa. She also said:

“Even with Emma, I actually now wish I could go outside and apologize to her… because you’ve been feeding her this sht the whole time.”*

When Helena asked why Harry had asked her to be exclusive while still entertaining other conversations, Harry claimed it was "new information to me", adding that he had not yet processed the breakup. He added:

“There was never anything with Shakira. I had one conversation with her there. One conversation with her on the side.”

Helena then asked if Harry still liked Shakira, and he admitted he had "feelings for Shakira." Helena concluded by saying she did not want to continue being with him, before walking off, signaling uncertainty about where their connection now stands inside the Love Island UK villa.
