Rheo Parnell entered Love Island on day 27 of the 12th series during the infamous Casa Amor twist.
While on the show, the 26-year-old ring girl got to know semi-footballer Harry, 30.
At first, he tried to stay respectful to Helena Ford by sleeping on the daybeds as he was joined on the show by his ex-girlfriend Emma Munro.
However, after it was revealed that he cheated on his girlfriend, fans wondered if he went back to his old ways by getting to know Rheo.
The pair were seen kissing in bed as Harry made fans feel sick when he told her that he would give her an orgasm.
Teasing sex in their future, he also remarked: "I think we'll maybe see sooner than you think."
Now Rheo is having her say on the situation after Harry chose to come back to the main villa alone and stay in a couple with Helena.
Maya asked the star if she was surprised not to be brought back from Casa Amor.
She replied: "to be honest, I was as shocked as the rest of the nation, like, it's Harry, to be fair, what did I expect?
"But I was actually a bit shocked with him, because we did get deep. Harry has a deep level."

She then found humour in the situation as exclaimed: "I found it like we're going for that one."
Rheo added: "But I was shocked, also not shocked, because he's playing a game, like that big game."
Maya then asked what sort of a game he was playing, to which Rheo explained: "I think he wanted to repair his reputation there.
"Just go in, go with Helena, and hopefully get to the end. I know he's got a game plan."

The presenter then brought up the movie night twist as Rheo interjected: "I feel like he got off scott free.
"Do you understand how much went on that wasn't like in that movie night? I was begging."
The host then asked what it was that viewers didn't see and Rheo stated "I mean, I can tell you all sorts."
"[He said] stuff, like; 'Our chats with you are just so different. With Helena, it's only ever sexual with her. This is so much better. I could take back to my mother'.
She added: But all this stuff like running his mouth, you know. Harry strikes again. I said it like he does."

Wireless festival review – Drake's disjointed three-night headline run smacks of desperation
The announcement of Drake's three-day headline set for Wireless's 20th anniversary met with a mixed response. Having been eviscerated in a rap beef with Kendrick Lamar, he had seemingly lost all street credibility. Plus, three consecutive sets from one artist could be overkill. On the other hand, what better way could there be to mark the occasion? No artist is more emblematic of the interface between British and American music that is so central to Wireless (despite Drake being Canadian). And the triptych curation around his various artistic personae seemed like genius: the swoon-worthy Casanova, the menacing rapper, the Black diaspora-surfing chameleon (or 'culture vulture', if you're a Drake-sceptic). Friday at the festival has an R&B focus, revealing rising star Kwn and the delightfully bluesy Leon Thomas. Summer Walker is somewhat garbled and listless. And then, after collaborator PartyNextDoor bores us to death for 20 minutes, Drake arrives, throwing it back with the 2011 heartbreak classic Marvin's Room. The surprise army of R&B all-stars he brings on is incredible: Mario, Bobby Valentino, Giveon, Bryson Tiller; Lauryn Hill's appearance is astonishing, despite the glaring audio issues that occur in the transition from Nice for What into Ex-Factor. It is a clear statement of Drake's standing among the greats, an assembling of allies. Yet the set also feels disjointed and strained. After Tiller performs Exchange, Drake awkwardly asks if he'll do another song, but Tiller walks off. He also won't stop banging on about how much 'love' he receives in his 'true home', London. It soon reads like desperation, a need to affirm that he is still adored despite becoming persona non grata. Then he floats above the crowd while blaring Whitney Houston's recording of I Will Always Love You, telling everyone to embrace a stranger. He does this again on Saturday and Sunday. It is not new for his sets, but it still feels completely bizarre. The 'mandem' Saturday is more thrilling. Lancey Foux brings an enviable swagger and deft lyrical flow, and grime collective BBK are a masterclass in rap performance – Frisco a clear standout with his GBTH Freestyle. When Drake comes on, he kills the vulnerable loverboy and brings aggression – getting the audience to bark like dangerous dogs. From last night's emotional manipulation to 'I don't give a fuck if you love me' is quite the headspin, but an incredibly welcome one. The special guests are stacked: Fakemink, Dave, J Hus, Central Cee, Headie One, Skepta. But this is all a naked retaliation against the US rap scene, as he declares UK rappers superior to them (Skepta had days earlier declared war on the US with Friendly Fire). No one can think he truly believes this, and it only adds to the awkward atmosphere. When Vanessa Carlton turns up to vibe to A Thousand Miles just because Drake felt like it, all bets are off. Sign up to Sleeve Notes Get music news, bold reviews and unexpected extras. Every genre, every era, every week after newsletter promotion The organisation on Sunday gets wayward as the app mysteriously changes to remove set lengths. Drake appears on the schedule twice, at 18:25 and 20:55, and a 21:30 curfew is looming. This doesn't bode well, though the lineup is stellar. Vybz Kartel returns for his first London performance in 20 years. Despite some shakes, his rapid-fire toasting style is still serviceable, though hits such as Dancehall and Love Dem feel wasted on a crowd who don't respond with much energy. Kartel's performance runs past Drake's scheduled first set, which disappears from the lineup, and the headliner lands on stage with only 45 minutes to perform. The closing 'dance party' underwhelms as Drake aimlessly vibes out, seemingly choosing tracks on a whim. In the middle of his set, Rema comes on to perform five songs – which feels very odd given the time constraints. Without doubt this has been a history-making Wireless, but it feels as though it was laden with fan service – nostalgia and guest stars – to mask what was ultimately a bit of a heist. You'd feel less shortchanged on the final night had you attended all three days. But if you had a Sunday-only ticket, please stay on the line to your bank, your call is very important to them.
