Helena and Harrison scooted off to the Hideaway - reserved for duos who are not coupled up - and Helena was promptly branded a "sneak b***h" by her love rival.
This came before Helena and Harrison then locked lips.
Shortly afterwards, Toni, 24, dumped Harrison over his "sneaky" smooch - yet her decision, and fury at his conduct - sparked all out chaos in the villa.
Nearly all the Love Island cast became involved in one way or another.
Shakira had a go at Harrison for not being truthful to Toni about how he feels about Helena.
Then Meg, Helena, and Remell separately, questioned why Shakira was getting involved in the argument.
Later, Shakira then gave Harrison a piece of her mind about his behaviour.
As the drama rumbled on - and left Toni in tears - those watching at home reckon they know the real reason for her sadness.
Some have suggested that Helena doesn't really like Harrison - and is using him as a way to remain in the matchmaking series.
New Love Island feud explodes as Toni brands love rival 'a sneaky b****' and ANOTHER two islanders sneak off to the Hideaway
One took to Reddit to comment underneath a thread that read: "Helena kissing Harrison for 5 minutes of validation," suggesting the blonde was "faking" it.
They then commented on their theory and said: "It seems she needed some quick validation and decided to kiss 22 year old Harrison with his school boy crush on her. You could tell she was barely into their kiss.
"Helena is of course free to do what she wants to do, but was it really worth ending Toni's first proper feelings in the house for 5 minutes of validation from a 22 year old?
"We all know Helena is not moving to America to start a relationship with college boy Harrison after the show."

Helena then replied: 'I've got nothing to lose.'
After they returned to the garden Harrison and Toni talk at the Firepit.
She tells him: 'We just went on a f***ing date yesterday and you're already going to the Hideaway with another girl.'
Following the row, Shakira gives Harrison a piece of her mind about his behaviour.
She says: 'I don't know what planet you're on, you've obviously upset the girl, you know what reaction it was going to have…'
Toni then refused to accept Harrison's apology and promptly dumped him.

John Cena and Idris Elba team up for buddy movie 'Heads of State'
LONDON, July 1 (Reuters) - Actors John Cena and Idris Elba embark on a wild friendship journey in the comedy action adventure "Heads of State." Cena plays Hollywood action hero turned U.S. President Will Derringer, while Elba stars as the experienced and cranky British Prime Minister Sam Clarke, an army veteran. When a tense meeting between the two disparate leaders is followed by an attack that threatens to blow up the world order, they must come together to save the day. Cena and Elba, who also executive produced the movie, previously worked together on the 2021 superhero film "The Suicide Squad." "Honestly, our time on screen is effortless. He brings the best out of me and, in his words, I try to do my best to provide an environment where he can shine," Cena said at the movie's London premiere on Tuesday. "I love the friendship nature of this film," he added. The movie is directed by Russian filmmaker and musician Ilya Naishuller, who said Cena and Elba brought a realness to their roles. "They feed off each other as any good couple would, and they know how to argue together in such a way where this is the perfect combination of the American happy-go-lucky, optimistic president and the prime minister who is real about the job and how difficult it is," Naishuller said, adding he set out to make a summer blockbuster in the vein of the buddy action comedies of the 1980s and 90s. "The goal was, I want to do an hour and 45 of the highest quality entertainment I can do and just do a crowd-pleaser and make sure that the people sitting at home on July the 4th are going to be united and having a great time," he said. "Heads of State" also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the role of the pun-loving top MI6 agent Noel Bisset. "It was really different, because it was a comedy. Most of the action I've done has been in drama and thrillers," Chopra Jonas said. "I love my puns," she added. "I mean, listen, I love a good pun. You've got to be smart to be punny." "Heads of State" starts streaming on Prime Video on July 2.

Cheryl is 'is in talks for TV return as talent show mentor' five years after her last on-screen gig as she 'kickstarts career comeback' after ex Liam Payne's death
Cheryl could reportedly be set for a return to TV as she's being eyed up for a mentoring role on the next series of The Voice. The former Girls Aloud star's last appeared on TV as a dance captain on The Greatest Dancer back in 2019. But according to The Sun, Cheryl may be making her talent show return alongside her longtime pal as a guest mentor mentor on The Voice. The 14th series is reportedly set to see a return of the Battle Rounds and Cheryl is said to be in talks to mentor team. A source said: ' and Cheryl first worked together 16 years ago and have remained good friends ever since. 'She was the obvious choice to mentor his team when the Battle Rounds return four years after being axed. 'A lot has happened in Cheryl's personal life since she was last working on a talent show — BBC's The Greatest Dancer — so she's taking baby steps to put herself back out there. 'Teaming up with as a guest mentor seems the perfect way to kick-start her comeback.' The series will reportedly air next year and the source said there are hopes Cheryl will agree to sign on permanently. MailOnline has contacted representatives for Cheryl for comment. Cheryl's possible return to work comes after the tragic death of her former partner Liam Payne, who is the father of her son Bear. In the six years between Liam 's split from Cheryl and the singer's untimely death in Argentina, he became engaged to model Maya Henry and was reportedly talking marriage with his girlfriend of two years, Kate Cassidy, before he died. But despite moving on romantically from the Girls Aloud singer, the One Direction star made his feelings very clear, hailing her as 'the most important person' in his life, and praising her for always being there for him, despite their split. The former couple lived just minutes away from each other and before his death Liam revealed their relationship was stronger than ever, describing Cheryl as 'the best mum in the world' to co-parent with. Cheryl was later revealed to have the heartbreaking task of raising her son without his father, but a new dimension to that task emerged when it was revealed that Liam died without leaving a will. It meant that his £24million fortune will go to Bear, and Cheryl has been named administrator, meaning she will be entrusted with protecting the money for her son. It is unknown whether Liam, 31, had considered this outcome when thinking about his affairs, but regardless Cheryl, 41, has been entrusted with a huge responsibility on behalf of her ex-partner. Meanwhile, the lack of will means that Liam did not make any direct provision for his father Geoff and mother Karen, his two sisters and wider family, or other loved ones such as his partner Kate Cassidy. But perhaps it seems appropriate that the responsibility of dealing with his estate has gone to Cheryl, along with music industry lawyer Richard Mark Bray, given the depth of their bond. Liam couldn't help gushing about his former partner in interviews saying that he 'couldn't ask for more' in the mother of his child. While Cheryl has always been more guarded, the remarks she did make about Liam publicly were telling. In a 2018 interview, she claimed he was the only man who had never cheated on her, and she has never publicly dated anyone since they split up in 2018. Liam and Cheryl first met when Liam auditioned for The X Factor back in 2008 as a fresh-faced 14-year-old. Rumours of a romance emerged in 2016 when Liam shared a picture of a tattoo on his hand, thought to be a tribute to Cheryl's giant rose tattoo on her lower back and posterior. In March 2016, they became 'Instagram official' and months later, made their first public appearance at Cannes Film Festival and after more rumours, it was confirmed that Cheryl was pregnant with their son Bear. However, in July 2018, Cheryl confirmed she and Liam had sadly split in a tweet, writing: 'We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It's been a tough decision for us to make. 'We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.' But despite ending things romantically, the pair continued to be bonded through their son, and stayed close over the years as they co-parented Bear, with Liam later declaring: 'Cheryl's always there for me.'

I was scammed out of hundreds by ‘Jennifer Aniston' who told me she loved me & needed cash for her ‘Apple subscriptions'
A MAN was cruelly scammed out of £200 after being sweet-talked by a fake Jennifer Aniston begging for cash for 'Apple subscriptions'. Paul Davis, 43, from Southampton, handed over the money after believing he was talking to the Friends star on Facebook. 7 7 7 7 Paul says he was targeted by an army of AI scammers pretending to be A-list stars - including the Friends legend herself - in a bizarre new wave of deepfake fraud. The unemployed Brit, who battles depression, revealed how he was bombarded with dozens of eerily convincing videos from bogus celebrity accounts. Some fraudulently posed as tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk. But it was a phoney Aniston who finally fooled him after sending what looked like her driving licence. The fraudster also told Paul she 'loved him' before asking for money. Paul said: 'I've had fake videos from Jennifer Aniston saying she loves me and asking for £200. I believed it – and I paid.' The cruel scam saw him send £200 worth of non-refundable Apple gift cards to the supposed Hollywood sweetheart. 'I got bitten,' he added. 'Once bitten, twice shy.' The shocking con is part of a terrifying rise in AI-powered scams, with crooks creating scarily real deepfake clips of celebs to trick unsuspecting victims out of their cash and private info. Paul says he's been relentlessly harassed for months, receiving fake messages every day claiming he's won everything from mega cash prizes to a flashy Range Rover. My mum's being scammed by an AI deepfake of 'Owen Wilson' who paid her £7 to 'prove' his identity - would you fall for it? One video even showed a fake Zuckerberg declaring: 'This is not a scam - believe me' while flashing a dodgy ID. Another sent him a bogus 'certificate from Facebook' claiming he'd scooped £500k and a luxury motor. 'They make it look so real,' Paul said. 'It's been going on for five months. I thought someone would get in trouble for this, but they seem to be having a laugh – and getting away with it.' Worryingly, Paul says he's not the only one falling victim. He revealed: 'Someone I know's lost over a grand in Apple gift cards to these scams." Now, struggling with his mental health and unable to work, Paul says the constant barrage of cons is taking its toll. 7 7 7 The 43-year-old says he is sharing his story in a bid to warn others and stop the scammers in their tracks. It comes after a scammer who conned a French woman out of nearly £700,000 by pretending to be Brad Pitt was unmasked in Nigeria. Interior designer Anne, 53, was scammed into funding a fake cancer treatment for the star after receiving AI-generated selfies and sweet-talking texts. The cruel romance con lasted over a year, costing Anne her fortune, her marriage, and her mental health. Eventually a crack team discovered the scammer's identity, his Nigerian base, and 34 other victims. Meanwhile, another woman put out a call for help after noticing her mum fall for an AI deepfake scam of Owen Wilson. The unnamed woman took to Reddit, revealing both she and her sister had failed to convince her mum that the man she was chatting to was not the real actor. She decided to share the AI deepfake video her mum had been sent by ' Owen Wilson' with the title 'Owen Wilson befriended my mother.' What are deepfakes? Here's what you need to know... Deepfakes use artificial intelligence and machine learning to produce face-swapped videos with barely any effort They can be used to create realistic videos that make celebrities appear as though they're saying something they didn't Deepfakes have also been used by sickos to make fake porn videos that feature the faces of celebrities or ex-lovers To create the videos, users first track down an XXX clip featuring a porn star that looks like an actress They then feed an app with hundreds – and sometimes thousands – of photos of the victim's face A machine learning algorithm swaps out the faces frame-by-frame until it spits out a realistic, but fake, video To help other users create these videos, pervs upload "facesets", which are huge computer folders filled with a celebrity's face that can be easily fed through the "deepfakes" app
