Love Island spoiler: Exclusive Harry and Helena "split" after 'explosive showdown' over Shakira conversation

Love Island's Harry and Helena have reportedly split after an "explosive row", despite going exclusive in the villa.

Last night's episode [23rd July] saw Harry and villa ex Shakira spending time together, before she cooled things down with her partner Conor. Now, a source at The Sun says the situation has hit boiling point, with Helena kicking off about being in the love triangle again.

"That old triangle is very much back," a villa source said. "In the bust-up, Harry admitted he still had feelings for Shakira. He said he didn’t plan to act on it but Helena was gutted and furious and told him she was done.'

The source continued, " It all happened the day after Shakira dumped Conor and Megan and Blu arrived."

During Wednesday night's Love Island, Harry asked partner Helena to go exclusive with him, before he was seen having a flirty conversation with Shakira on the stairs.

"I like talking to you… we haven't talked to each other for ages," he told her. "I really think it's a good idea if we hang out on the outside."

Shakira's partner Conor then walked into the corridor, with Harry stepping aside to let him past.

He then fumed to Helena, "She's [Shakira] out there with Harry... She didn't even acknowledge me there."

Helena replied, "You don't think she's lost her head that me and Harry have gone exclusive?"

Later, Shakira pulled Conor for a chat, and admitted she was struggling to get over past situations in the villa. He was then asked for a date by villa ex Megan, who is back in the villa for a second stint.

Obviously, none of this is confirmed by ITV, and we're yet to see it play out in the villa yet, so we'll have to wait and see what happens.

In the teaser for tonight's episode [24th July], Shakira tells Harry: “I still felt very strongly towards you… I just don’t think that I really dealt with the situation how I should have dealt with it and maybe haven’t processed things properly, and you and Helena being exclusive may have resurfaced things.”

Harry replies: “I know it looks like I've moved on very quickly but I don't want you to ever think that it was one sided, you’ll probably disagree, but I felt it and like I say I haven't processed it and have tried to just get on with things.”

Later, Harry tells Helena, "I’ve been given some information, just Shakira saying how she actually feels… I had a feeling she liked me or whatever, and it’s hard for her to see me and you progressing and I didn’t even think about any of this."

Helena replies, "Does that change anything for you?" but ITV haven't shared any more of their conversation yet. Guess we'll have to tune in to see what happens!

Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
