Maya sat down with the four remaining couples - and took a swipe at Harry.
Harry and Shakira have had a tumultuous history throughout the series.
Meanwhile, Maya asked whether they were more shocked at being in the final - or being there together.
Harry answered: "I'm the most surprised man in here, in the final.
"I wouldn't be here with anyone else other than Shakira."
While Maya quipped back at him: "Probably wouldn't."
Aside from Shakira, Harry also had a long-running connection with Helena Ford.
The pair hooked up in the Hideaway after just 56 hours in the villa - despite not being coupled up at the time.
They were coupled up twice throughout the series - but their relationship ultimately came to an explosive end.
Writing online, fans have been left divided over whether Harry and Shakira should win the series.

One penned on X: "Shakira and Harry getting my vote to win is something I never thought I would say."
Another wrote: "Surely Harry and his disgusting behaviour isn't going to be awarded 25k."
While a third chimed in: "I want Shakira to win only, Harry does not deserve it."
A fourth added: "I still can't believe Harry is in the final never mind the bookies favourite to win it."
It comes as Harry's ex Emma Munro revealed what he messaged her before entering the villa.
Harry, 30, was initially left stunned when his real-world ex Emma entered the compound, and he could be heard saying: "Oh my god, it's my ex."
However, Emma was later dumped from the series alongside fellow bombshell Boris.
She has since let slip their last conversation before he entered the ITV2 series as a show OG.
Emma denied knowing he was going on the matchmaking series and said: "No, he [Harry] sent me the weirdest text right before he went into holding.
"And he basically said 'oh you won't be able to contact me for the summer, please get hold of my mum if you need anything.'
"I thought oh he's going to rehab.
"Or he's checked into a wellness centre, how wrong was I?"

Princess Andre 'wishes she had a happier childhood' in heartbreaking admission
Katie Price and Peter Andre's daughter Princess Andre has made a heartbreaking confession about her childhood as she opened up on 'dark times' and how she had counselling Princess Andre has made a devastating confession about her childhood as she admitted she wishes it was happier. The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre opened up about "dark times" in her own TV show. She is ready to enter the spotlight on her own, having watched both her parents have showbiz careers. Princess, 18, has let cameras into her home as she paves her way as an influencer. However, in her new ITV2 series The Princess Diaries, the teenager has shared things haven't always been easy for her. It comes after her mum Katie Price worried fans with appearance in family photo after explaining weight loss. She has addressed traumatic memories of her glamour model mum Katie's divorce from Pete as well as her other very public relationships. In a candid confession, Princess said: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then. "But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age." Princess said she wishes she "wasn't like that" and that she had things lingering at the back of her mind while being very young. She did acknowledge "good times" in her childhood and discussed Katie's split from Kieran Hayler when she was 10-years-old. Katie and Kieran were married for eight years but had a rocky relationship, with accusations of infidelity. Princess admitted "everything kind of went downhill" as she and her siblings got "really close to him and loved him." "My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that in the best way, she went through a very, very dark time, which is understandable," Princess shared. "Which is hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see and I think as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on." She heartbreakingly shared how she would return from school early to "get into bed and cry". Princess said she is close to her dad Pete, but would never speak to him about her pain. The model confessed she has "always grown up knowing my mum and dad don't like each other." Princess added: "I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it but mum is such a different person and if you put her now to back then, she's genuinely really fixed herself."

The awkward moments you missed from the Love Island finale - from 'jealous exes' Harrison and Emma's 'bitter' reactions to Harry's seething response to swipe from Shakira's mum
Love Island fans were over the moon when Toni Laites and Cach Mirjah Mercer were crowned winners of the twelfth series of the ITV2 show on Monday night. The loved-up pair beat Shakira Khan, 22, and Harry Cooksley, 30, to the top spot, while Yasmin Pettet, 24, and Jamie Rhodes, 26, placed third, and Ty Isherwood, 23, and Angel Swift, 26, came fourth. But some viewers may have missed some very awkward moments that happened during the finale that was filmed live from Mallorca. One specific moment is when Toni's ex Harrison Solomon, 22, rolls his eyes when she made a comment about his behaviour during the show. Maya pointed out: 'You did say that you learnt a lot being in here...' 'That's for damn sure,' Toni replied. An intrigued Maya continued: 'What has been the biggest lesson for you do you reckon?' Toni replied: 'Don't put up with sh**ty men.' The camera then went to Harrison sitting with partner Lauren Wood, 26, at a table in the audience. The footballer rolled his eyes a number of times shortly after she made the dig at him. The crowd cheered in support of her and then he mocked the cheers by joining in. He then rolled his eyes again when she revealed to the audience that Cach had dropped the L-Bomb. Those watching at home rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their shock. 'Look at Harrison pretending to clap.' 'Harrison and Lauren can keep rolling their eyes.' Another former flame of one of the finalists made some very good television. Maya popped over to Boris Vidovic, 28, and Emma Munro, 30, to chat about Emma's ex Harry. 'Harry was a big part of your story in the villa, now he's in the final, with Shakira. Do you see a change in him finally?' Maya asked. Emma didn't give an answer straight away and just said: 'Um' to which Maya said: 'Oh.' She continued: 'No I do. I think his relationship with Shakira is very different to the one with Helena and myself. 'I think it's normal though. Shakira is her own woman. We're different. We're different people, it would be weird if it was the same.' 'Is this a new leaf for him now?' Maya asked. Emma said: 'Hopefully. But I won't hold my breath...' Those watching at home were shocked at her words, with one saying on social media: 'Emma just needs to learn to give her opinion without sounding like a bitter jealous ex.' 'Emma is obsessed with Harry lmao she is his biggest hater - Its giving JEALOUS and BITTER.' 'One thing about Emma though, I don't think she likes the fact that Harry doesn't care for her opinion… she comes off a little bitter.' Not only that, Harry made a swipe about his new girl's mum. Just seconds before the winners were announced, Maya said: 'All your families came in, do you [Shakira] think your mum would give Harry a hug?' Shakira said: 'I mean... that would be a miracle. I don't know. I need to speak to her.' Harry added: 'I think she will. I think she would.' He continued: 'I heard she's done a nice TikTok of me...' Shakira looked over at the footballer VERY awkwardly. Maya told him: 'Maybe, I haven't seen yet.' 'I've heard, I've heard,' Harry told the host. Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their confusion on how he knew about the posts. 'Harry knows what Shakira's mum has been doing on TikTok. Guess it's the last night and that.' 'How does Harry know whats happening on TikTok? ' 'Where did Harry hear about Sukina's tiktok abt him?' Many rushed to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their confusion on how he knew about the posts Toni has made history as the first American contestant to enter the UK Love Island villa and her and Cach seem set on making their relationship work despite the transatlantic distance. And fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations. They penned: 'Justice served well done Toni & Cach... what a gentleman man he is'; 'Congratulations Toni and Cach. First American and she won. Iconic moves'; 'A bombshell + a casa boy winning love island - iconic!'; 'Love island didn't disappoint with Cach & Toni winning'; 'Toni was her true authentic self'; 'Amazing winners - hats off to the producers for an elite season of #loveisland'. Others teased how funny it was that Harrison was there to watch Toni win the 50k after previously leaving her for Lauren. They penned: 'Harrison had to watch Toni win 50k' 'Forget there were there, the win makes it even better'. Fans seemed delighted with the decision as they took to Twitter to wish the couple congratulations Shakira and Harry have had a rollercoaster journey in the villa with Harry's roaming eye causing plenty of upset. While the pair were originally coupled up, it wasn't long before his head was turned and he snuck off to the Hideaway with Helena. After changing his mind once again, he returned to Helena after the pair claimed to have a 'undeniable connection'. However after Harry discovered Shakira's feelings for her hadn't gone away, Harry recoupled with the 22-year-old, claiming his relationship with Helena was more friendship. Angel was the final bombshell in this year's series, only entering the villa two weeks ago where she immediately hit it off with Casa Amor boy Ty. The pair have gone from strength to strength despite Blu's attempt to turn her head earlier this week. It comes after Meg and Dejon became the latest couple to be dumped from the Love Island villa after the ex-Islanders had their say. And during AfterSun on Sunday evening, Dejon admitted he has been 'reflecting on his actions' since leaving the villa. The hunk came under fire for his behaviour towards Meg, after keeping her around but continuously flirting with every bombshell that entered the villa. While they are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, they had a tumultuous time on the series - which this year has even been acknowledged in a Women's Aid statement. The charity accused some men on the show of 'showcasing toxic male behaviour' as well as 'gaslighting' and 'manipulating'. Speaking on Love Island Aftersun, Dejon, 26, told Maya Jama: 'It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view. 'Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa. 'Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was. 'But in the back of my head, I always knew it was Meg, so I definitely see why that kind of… there's a lot of opinions about that, and I feel like I could have explored connections with being less flirty and stuff.' The professional footballer added: 'I definitely understand why people have their opinions regarding that, and even there's times that, honestly, she's stuck by me, and she tells me how she feels, and she stuck by me more than more than she should. More than I deserve a lot of times.'

As well as older brother Junior, Princess has six other siblings - Theo, Amelia and Arabella from Pete's marriage to Emily MacDonagh, and Harvey, Jett and Bunny from her mum Katie's side.
