Love Island's Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood to 'REUNITE for the first time on live TV' since he quit the villa to be together .... after making his first public UK appearance WITHOUT her
The footballer, 22, left the show in scenes which aired on Friday night in order to his join love interest, 26, who had been dumped at the beginning of the episode.
Now according to The Sun the pair will come face-to-face as guests on Sunday's spin-off Aftersun following the main show. MailOnline have contacted ITV for comment.
The state of their relationship is currently unknown and despite his huge gesture to leave the island Harrison has not been pictured with Lauren since his return to the UK.
However he was spotted on a boys' night as he attended Wembley Stadium to see Oleksandr Usyk take on Daniel for the heavyweight boxing championship on Saturday.
Harrison cut a stylish figure in a white oversized sports shirt and wide legged jeans as he joined close pal and Celebrity Aesthtic Dr Rosh.
The footballer left the show in scenes which aired on Friday night in order to his join love interest (pictured) who had been dumped at the beginning of the episode.
Despite his shock and premature exit from the Love Island villa, the hunk appeared in great spirits while heading to take his seat for the much-anticipated match.
It comes after Harrison broke his silence on his famous love triangle with Lauren and Toni Laites and if he regretted having sex on TV.
Friday saw new bombshell Angel Swift make a dramatic entrance and couple up with Ty Isherwood, which left Lauren single and immediately axed, though she quickly begged Harrison to leave with her.
After sleeping on the decision, Harrison informed the Islanders he would also be leaving and he has now revealed whether he sees a future with Lauren.
Speaking for the first time after his exit, Harrison finally broke his silence on the love triangle drama, which saw Toni left devastated after she learned he had slept with Lauren twice.
'I was relatively new to the Villa so I wanted to explore connections and I came to the conclusion that Toni was the better suit for me,' Harrison said of the drama.
'Then when I went to Casa there was an instant spark and connection with Lauren, I knew from day one there was something special there.
'When I came back from Casa something in the back of my mind was still thinking about Toni.
'If I had left with Lauren when Shakira had the choice to send me home, I think I would've always regretted not giving me and Toni one final go as we left on good terms before Casa.
'That's the reason I gave a little speech before the recoupling on the Terrace. As soon as I did that, I felt terrible towards Lauren. For two days, I tried to go tunnel vision with Toni but there was something holding me back.'
Harrison also hinted that he will be pursuing things with Lauren now he has left the villa, saying he didn't feel like his experience was 'the same' after she left.
'I felt like Lauren and I naturally gravitated towards each other, the connection we have is so so special I wasn't ready to leave it,' he gushed.
'When Lauren first got the text saying she was being dumped my initial reaction to her leaving was ''I'm going''.
'I came here and found what I wanted. Having said that, I didn't want to make an emotional decision, I'm quite an indecisive person and so I wanted to take my time with it, rather than leave and regret what I'd done.
'The fact I stayed a day later and processed everything really helped me,' he continued.
'Me leaving was making a big statement. It shows her I'm really into her and see a serious future with her.'
While Harrison currently lives in Florida, Lauren is based in York but the footy star insisted he doesn't think the distance will be an issue.
'We'll make the distance work! It will be no issue,' he vowed.
'We left on good terms but the two days prior to leaving we weren't talking properly so it would be good to have a conversation, get everything out in the open and hopefully move forward from there.
'I feel very strongly about the girl, I wouldn't have left if I didn't. I have no doubt in my mind that she'll be my girlfriend one day.
'I'm buzzing to see her and reunite! She's such a great girl.'

Emmerdale fans blow holes in Owen and John 'suicide' twist
Fans of ITV soap Emmerdale have pointed out some plot holes in the latest part of John Sugden's (Oliver Farnworth) storyline. Last week, John learnt that Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley) and Tracy Shankley (Amy Walsh) were going to try and work out who killed Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter). Desperate to keep their focus off him, John realised he needed to come up with a plan – and fast. That same day, John was asked to visit Owen Michaels' (Simon Haines) house as part of his work at the surgery. When he arrived, he found Owen – the guy who spiked Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) – unconscious on the sofa. John rushed to call an ambulance, but then realise another problem of his would be solved if he just…let Owen die. In the time it took for Owen's life to slip away, John had created a story that made Owen look like he killed Nate. John wrote a note on Owen's laptop that confessed to murdering Nate, as well as revealing why he did it. He then used antibacterial wipes to clean the laptop, the door handle and Owen's neck, to ensure his fingerprints would be removed from the scene. A few days later, Liam Cavanagh (Jonny McPherson) went to check on Owen and found him dead. DS Walsh then arrived, and later told Tracy and Cain that this man killed Nate. It was a twist that left Cain and Tracy stunned. While they have no reason to not believe Walsh, fans of the ITV soap have certainly been struggling, as they noticed multiple plot holes in the scenes that saw John frame Owen, and what followed after. Taking to social media platform X, the point mentioned the most is John's effort to clean his fingerprints from Owen's house. It's possible a post-mortem would've been conducted on Owen after his death, to determine what he had in his system when he died. As a result of this and forensics checking the house, surely they would've noticed someone had cleaned Owen's neck, the laptop, and other areas? And therefore considered that he perhaps did not end his life? 'Did they notice that all the fingerprints on the laptop and Owen's hands had been wiped clean? #Emmerdale', one fan wondered. Another pointed out: 'He didn't seem to have his 'I'm a Medic' over shoulder pack with him that he's usually surgically attached to, just a smaller brown more casual looking bag. Not suss at all that certain areas have been wiped down, whether effective print/DNA wise or not #Emmerdale.' Also on X, audience members noticed that Robert mentioned Owen's confession in the pub…without actually being told about it. 'How did Robert know Owen confessed to killing Nate? Tracey and Cain haven't told anyone; John and Liam just walked in. Plot hole klaxon! #Emmerdale', they highlighted. This week, a suspicious Robert learnt from Owen's brother Steve that they were together in Hull the day Nate died. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers?

It proved someone else murdered him, but Robert grew frustrated when Steve said he didn't want to tell the police, due to him and Owen attending an illegal job in the city last year. More Trending In upcoming episodes, the theory that John is too good to be true is fuelled for Robert when he learns of the many times he has saved a villager's life. It leaves Robert in with a chance of exposing him but if John works out what's going on, will it end up being someone else? Perhaps it could be Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt), given that he currently has no idea he's talking to John through the mental health charity?

Love Island fans work out real reason Harry is ‘picking fight' with Helena as pair clash at Grafties
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have predicted that Harry is causing beef with Helena - for his own benefit. According to viewers, footballer Harry picked a fight with Helena on purpose and used the information received during The Grafties as a way out. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 The footballer was seen getting the hump after hearing news about Helena Credit: Eroteme 4 Viewers have claimed that Harry's wild moves are a plot to win his ex back Credit: Eroteme Fans watched last night as an angry Harry accused Helena of playing games and not being 'all about him' when she returned to the villa after the Sleepover. A bemused Helena argued it was 'weeks ago' and was not the same as him flirting outrageously with a number of girls, most recently Angel. Harry was seen becoming riled by Helena's previous behaviour - although they weren't even together at the time. Viewers have now clocked Harry's escape plan - so he can go back to ex Shakira - who he was previously coupled up. Harry barked during their heated chat at The Grafties: "I thought you were all for me when you came back?" Toni noted: "He's just trying to pick a fight with her." Conor agreed: "That's crazy behaviour." The official Love Island Instagram account asked fans: "Is Harry picking fights or bringing up fair points?" Users commented: "Picking fights as an excuse to crawl back to Shakira and blame Helena." A second predicted: "When you wish to end a relationship, you find every little thing about the other person irritating, and that is what Harry is trying to do." Watch moment Harry admits he still has feelings for Shakira after star threatened to quit villa A third agreed: "Harry has some cheek after all he has said and done - that was pure excuse to slip off from Helena on to Shakira." "Welcome to Harry's Gas Lighting class, please take your seats," mocked another. "He's trying to start something just to start something," mused a fan. "Harry's trying to start something with Helena, so that he can leave her for Shakira and put the blame on to Helena," assumed another. "Harry's 100% using this as an excuse to try to get back with Shakira," wrote another user. "Harry is picking a fight so Helena can end it without him looking bad... He thinks he can go back to Shakira even though she didn't tell him she doesn't want him," penned another sofa detective. The lingering love triangle has erupted since Shakira dumped Conor and Harry was her shoulder to cry on. Semi pro footballer Harry ditched Shakira after Helena pursued him for weeks. The couple have just made their relationship 'exclusive' but Harry has been unable to shake his previous connection with Shakira after she confessed she wasn't over him. It led to a huge showdown between the footballer and his girl, Helena. Helena and Harry are now 'done' after an explosive row over Shakira - not yet seen on screen. Earlier in the week, former flames Harry and Shakira were seen having an intense chat about her emotions. Indecisive Harry shocked viewers as he asked Shakira if they could 'hang out' when they leave the villa. 4 Fans are accusing Harry of picking a fight with Helena so he can move back to Shakira Credit: Eroteme
