In new exclusive photos, Harrison was spotted surrounded by his friends and family who greeted him at the airport today.
But his love interest and axed Islander Lauren Wood was nowhere to be seen, despite vowing to wait for him.
Harrison, 22, was seen embracing his loved ones as they celebrated his return after he walked from the villa on Thursday night.
Despite the fan backlash, he flashed a big smile as he came face-to-face with his pals, who gave him a big hug.
The footballer was seen pushing his Love Island suitcase through arrivals, before sitting on it.
He wore a white striped shirt and a pair of black shorts with a black trainers for the flight home.
The reality star then exited the airport with his mobile phone in his hand after it was returned to him by producers after his exit.
A far cry from the sunshine in Mallorca, Harrison was seen bracing the rain on Saturday as he headed to the car park.
Although Lauren, who lives in York, was not there to greet Harrison, it is likely that she was arriving at another airport, given the pair live in different parts of the UK.
The Derby lad had been flip-flopping between Toni Laites and Lauren for days - leaving both of them in tears along the way.
Lauren was booted out of the villa after new bombshell Angel picked Ty to couple up with.
The brunette begged Harrison to come with her but he insisted he wanted to sleep on it and decide the next day.
Lauren broke down in tears but said she would wait for him on the outside and insisted: "I only want you."
On last night's episode, Harrison decided to leave and to continue his relationship with Lauren on the outside.
A source said: "It's been a momentous few days for Harrison and ultimately he has decided to quit.
"Everyone was so shocked and people were crying and hugging him.
"He worked through everything with the ITV duty of care team and is making his way home to his family now."
Harrison announced his decision to the villa, leaving his close pals in tears.
He then pulled Toni for a final chat where he tearfully apologised for stringing her along for weeks.
Harrison admitted: "We just weren't right for each other."
Toni burst into tears and said she was sad not because he was leaving but because she wasted so much time on him.
The day before, Harrison got emotional after seeing the devastation he was causing.
Controversially, he made a plea to Toni ahead of the latest recoupling to pick him, despite having had sex with Lauren the night before.
Toni's decision to choose him blindsided their exes Cach Mercer and Lauren, with both left sobbing after being embarrassed in front of their friends.
Earlier that day, she'd told Lauren she was done with Harrison.
Sitting by the fire pit, she said: 'He's all yours, girlfriend.
"I'm removing myself from this."
But the next day, he complimented Lauren's looks when he saw her wearing a red bikini and refused to close the door completely.
She was even caught helping him floss his teeth, which proved to be the final straw for Toni, who accused him of constantly "making her look stupid".
He then admitted that he "missed" Lauren and wanted to give things another go with her.

TOWIE's Frankie Sims' huge relationship step with City boyfriend as she shares wedding plans
Ex-TOWIE star Frankie Sims, unlike some other friends, embraced turning 30 - and is excited about the future, including the prospect of tying the knot with her handsome beau Billy... Frankie Sims is striding into her thirties with a fresh mindset, a new man and zero time for drama. The former TOWIE regular, who has previously dated ex-Love Island star Jack Fincham and footballer Luke Paris, is now loved-up with handsome City boy Billy Jones, 30. She reportedly met him through her friend, one-time Islander Shaughna Phillips. The pair, who have been dating since May 2024, finally went Instagram official last December. Not only have they already moved in together, they exclusively tell OK!. but they're also busy planning their future, with Frankie telling us that marriage and babies are on the cards – even if there's 'no timeline'. 'I know that it's what I want for my future,' Frankie says. 'When it's meant to happen, it'll happen.' READ MORE: This self-watering planter is a 'water-wise' solution to gardening under the hosepipe bans Since shooting to fame alongside her sister, Demi, on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2019, Frankie has been no stranger to reality TV turmoil. From fiery on-screen romances to her and Demi's explosive fallout with sister Chloe during the second series of their LA-set reality show, House Of Sims, there's rarely been a dull moment. Here, Frankie, who now runs her own beauty business, tells us why she's carving out a more peaceful life for her and Billy, and how turning 30 helped her finally find her confidence. Hi, Frankie! Things seem to be going very well between you and Billy… They are! We moved in together this year and it's amazing – now we're looking to buy somewhere. After that we'll obviously have kids and get married, but we're not putting pressure on ourselves. We know that we both want it, but we haven't put a timeline on when it should happen. We've got a lot to do before then! What makes you work so well as a couple? It just feels like a really healthy relationship. I knew from the first week he was The One. It was like I had a confirmation within myself, 'Yeah, this is The One.' Everything is just so simple and he makes me feel really secure and happy. Everything is just falling into place, as it should. Is this a new experience for you in terms of boyfriends? When you have a relationship like this, you look back at your past relationships and realise that it's completely different to anything I've had before. But I've taken a lot of lessons from any relationship that I've had in the past and brought those lessons into this relationship. Maybe that's why it's working. Are you quite traditional, in terms of marriage first, then babies? I'm not traditional at all. I'm not putting any expectations on myself or anyone else. I'm not thinking, 'Right, I have to be 'this age' when I get married or have kids.' I'm a firm believer that everything comes into your life at the right time – and I'll be there with open arms. If you could give one piece of advice to teenage Frankie, what would it be? To stay true to who you are and that who you are is enough. Because being in your twenties, being on TV and having to deal with things like trolling, you lose who you are and lose your confidence. What do you do to look after your mental health? I like to take time out just for myself. Recently, I've been doing something once a month that's just for me – something that makes me feel completely relaxed and reset. Last month I went for an hour-long lymphatic drainage facial massage. I think I was holding a lot of stress in my face, so I actually walked out feeling so much more relaxed. I've also been to a soundbath therapy session, which was amazing. It's about putting life on pause for a second and finding a way to take the stress off your shoulders. So how did you really feel about turning 30 earlier this year? I was really excited about it. Usually people dread it – I've seen people throw a funeral, it's very dramatic. But I was looking forward to being 30 because everyone told me it's a decade about finding confidence in yourself and loving who you are. So I chose to think of it as, 'I'm going into a whole new era, I'm a 30-year-old woman and this is who I am!' Tell us about celebrating Frankie & Benny's 30th birthday campaign... Well, we both turned 30 this year. It was like a full-circle moment because I used to go to Frankie & Benny's in Romford when I was growing up. It's where I found my love of food and now food is definitely my love language. I took Billy back to the restaurant in Essex because of the Love At First Bite new menu and it was so much fun showing him where I spent so many celebrations when I was younger. Food is an excellent love language, in our opinion! Haha, it is. I want to show someone that I care for them, so I want them to be fed. I want to cook for them, or go out and enjoy different flavours or eating experiences.

I bought a £500 caravan & transformed it on the cheap – now I can take my kids away and people think it ‘looks amazing'
A MOTHER has revealed that she bought a caravan from Facebook for £500 and transformed it on the cheap. The DIY fan renovated the home on wheels for just £500 and now has a pretty pink haven she can take her children away in during the summer holidays. Posting on social media, the content creator, who uploads DIY clips under the username 'Sugar and Pearl', explained that she initially found the caravan for £650 on Facebook Marketplace, but was able to negotiate and nab it for £500. The savvy mum then spent 'just under £500' on the renovation of the four berth 'little caravan.' Thrilled with the caravan's overhaul, the mum beamed: 'Now we have this cute little pink haven to take the kids away in.' Currently, the caravan, which she described as her 'pink little hideaway,' is kept on this woman's driveway and is then towed to campsites whenever they go away. Sharing a before, during and after look at the caravan's total transformation, the mother and her children started off the renovation by removing the dated tiles and wallpaper from inside the home on wheels. The influencer then gave the space a thorough clean from top to bottom and after this, freshened up the caravan with lick of paint. She used the V33 Cupboard & Cabinet paint, which you can buy from B&Q, Screwfix and even Amazon. Following this, to add style to the caravan, the DIY fan added new handles to the cupboards and replaced the sofa cushions. And that's not all, as she also used self-adhesive stick-on tiles, which she bought from Temu, to glam up her cupboards without having to break the bank. To finish off the mega makeover, the mother then accessorised the space with cosy cushions, faux flowers, a dream catcher and bunting. I bought a dated caravan & turned it into my family's very own second home for £4.5k - now we holiday for just £10 a day Not only do we think the pink caravan looks stunning, but it's clear that many others do too, as the TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @ sugarandpearlx, has quickly racked up 63,500 views. As well as this, it's also amassed 1,512 likes, 16 comments and 328 shares. Social media users were stunned by the caravan's gorgeous overhaul and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this. One person said: 'Looks amazing.' Why caravan holidays are so underrated CARAVAN park holidays are a British staple. And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain's purses, more of us are turning to them for an affordable break. Josie O'Brien, Senior Digital Writer on Fabulous, weighs in on why she thinks caravan holidays are seriously underrated... WHEN I was a child, my mum used to collect the £9.50 holiday vouchers in The Sun. She'd use them to book a couple of nights away at a caravan park during the school holidays. As an adult, I fully appreciate the convenience of a humble caravan holiday. No faffing about with passports, no luggage limits and no bog-standard hotel breakfast of stale toast and grey eggs. I still love caravan holidays as an adult. In a world of doing everything for the 'gram, a caravan park brings you back to basics. There's no obligation to get dressed up, no stress to fit a million picturesque excursions in one week and I don't find myself flustered in tourist hot spots like abroad. I love going to coastal caravan parks and strolling along the beach parade. My highlight is always fresh mussels, ice-creams and classic pubs to grab an afternoon tipple in. And then, of course, there's the cost. Staying in a caravan is definitely way cheaper than my international trips. With no expensive hotel bills and the ability to cook my own meals, I'm spending hundreds less than I would abroad. I've had some of my best and most relaxing holidays in caravans. Maybe I'll buy my own one day. Another added: 'Soooooo prettyyyyyyyyy.' A third commented: 'So beautiful inside!! Well done.'
