He was later seen explaining his decision to Helena - but couldn't resist a swipe at the other girl.
Commenting on Angel's red swimwear, he said she was 'dressing up as the angel last night, and the devil today'.
He added to Helena: 'I binned it off, babe. I said 'you're no good'. I've only got eyes for Hells Bells.'
The charmer then called out Helena for not having a stronger reaction to him 'binning off a 10/10' for her.
But fans think Harry made the decision to stick with Helena due to the final being just days away.
One wrote on social media: 'harry shutting things down with angel was like 'you came too late love and I want a chance to win this s***'.'
Someone else said: 'So you're trying to tell me Harrison decided to leave, Dejon decided to apologize to Yas, and Harry decided to bin Angel and go exclusive with Helena just because?'
And a third added: 'Harry & Dejon bringing out 'I'm loyal babes' 2 weeks to the final.'
During his conversation with Angel, Harry did confess that if she'd arrived earlier things would have been different.
He said: 'If it was week 3 I would have been in trouble.

Molly-Mae Hague warns fans of deepfake perfume ad as she's targeted by AI scam
Molly-Mae Hague has said she had "never even smelt" the perfume that the deepfake advert claims is her favourite - as the 26-year-old laments the "scary" use of deep-fake clips Molly-Mae Hague has warned fans about the dangers of artificial intelligence after a fake video of her promoting a perfume went viral. The influencer and businesswoman, 26, shared a video online discussing a fan interaction that left her shaken up over the use of the technology. She said: 'Yesterday while I was in London, a girl came up to me and she was like oh I've just bought my best friend the perfume you love, for her birthday.' The girl told Molly-Mae that she had bought 'that Nyla one from TikTok '. The former Love Island star said: 'I was gobsmacked, I was like 'that's AI.'' Molly-Mae's sister, Zoe Rae, said: 'I thought it was a clip from an old YouTube video that they've used.' However, Molly-Mae continued on to say: 'There's this clip going around on TikTok, they do it with loads of different people, they'll literally put AI over the clip and be like 'this is Molly's favourite perfume' and it's me saying 'oh I love this Nyla perfume' in my literal voice but it's AI, how scary.' She told fans: 'People are actually buying this perfume thinking that it's my favourite perfume, and I've never even smelt it.' Molly-Mae is not the first celebrity to be the victim of deep-fake videos - with stars like Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Nigella Lawson, and even Martin Lewis warning against the damaging effects of this technology. A deepfake is described as a video or sound recording that replaces a person's face or voice with that of someone else. They can be incredibly realistic, and used to sell products or services online. Police UK says that some deepfake content can take on the 'exact likeness of a real person'. While they aren't always harmful or illegal, it says that they are 'sometimes used for malicious and criminal purposes". For more stories like this subscribe to our weekly newsletter, The Weekly Gulp, for a curated roundup of trending stories, poignant interviews, and viral lifestyle picks from The Mirror's Audience U35 team delivered straight to your inbox. The comment section on a clip of Molly-Mae's video was divided, with one person writing: 'If people are gullible enough to believe that Molly-Mae or any other celeb wears some cheap TikTok shop perfume then that's on them.' Another said: 'It's very obvious lol. I've seen the same thing about different influencers and different perfumes on TikTok.' However, others explained that they were victims of the fake advert. One person said: 'I didn't even realise it was AI until now.' Someone else posted: 'Omg I feel for this too! I bought it!' A third commented: 'Ahhh man why am I seeing this after I've already bought it.' The Advertising Standards Agency revealed earlier this year that it received 1,691 reports of potential scams in 2024. Celebrity scams were the biggest trend, it said, as they made up the 'vast majority of Scam Ad Alerts' sent last year. It warned: 'The public interest in celebs and other public figures means scammers continue to turn to them to promote cryptocurrency, investment, keto slimming gummies and the like.' If you see an online advert featuring a celebrity, you should do some checks before handing over your details or buying the product. The ASA says: 'Check if they are posting from their official account and consider if the ad seems out of character. While some celebrities do endorse products, they don't usually promote complex investments or wonder cures."

Love Island SPOILER: Shakira's family REFUSE to greet Harry as the Islanders' relatives and friends pile into the villa
Love Island's Shakira Khan may have recoupled with villa lothario Harry Cooksley - but her mum and sister refused to greet Harry when the Islanders' relatives arrive at the villa. A dramatic recoupling got underway on Sunday night, and the fallout is set to continue during Monday's installment of the ITV reality show. Plus, the Islanders' friends and relatives pile into the villa to give their live reactions - as well as some 'needed' candid feedback. Harry's best friend, also called Harry, and mum Julia arrive alongside Shakira's sister Shanti and mum Sukina. Diving straight in, Shakira tells her family of Harry: 'I adore him and I really wish I didn't, that's the problem. It would be easier if I hated him, but I don't.' Her mum Sukina is unimpressed, and responds: 'What I will say? With him, he can prove himself to you before he has to prove himself to me.' The other Islanders watch eagerly on as the two families come together at the Firepit. As Harry walks over to the Firepit, ready to greet Shakira's family, Sukina remains firmly in her seat and says coldly: 'We're not hugging Harry.' Sukina addresses Harry's shock split with Helena - instigated by him, saying: 'I think the whole of the UK is [surprised]. I'm sorry, but we thought it was "undeniable" Harry.' The tense episode sees Harry handle even more pointed questions from Shakira's family, as well as some pointed remarks from his own mum. Meanwhile, the other Islanders have guests of their own. As Toni is sitting on the terrace, she hears her mum Leslie shout: 'Is Toni here? Where's Toni?' Keen to see her loved ones, an excited Toni races down stairs to greet her mum who has flown the distance from Florida. Toni's best friend Marielle has also made the trip and she jokes of being in the villa: 'It's like meeting our Sims in real life!' As they catch up, talk turns to her daughter's romantic relationships, with Leslie saying: 'The Harrison thing - I'd love to know what voodoo spell he put on you.' Toni replies: 'Sometimes you have to get burned 150 times before you can't get burnt anymore.' Chuffed mum Leslie says of Cach: 'You have the most amazing man. His morals, his ethics, his calm demeanour when he is confronted with a bad situation. He is my king.' 'No, he's my king - back off,' Toni laughs in response. Meanwhile, Cach is catching up with his brother D'Shae and sister Ayjah, who discuss him being upset by Toni and Harrison's actions. 'You don't understand how embarrassing it was,' Cach admits, to which his sister says: 'Everyone felt it. It hurt to see you cry.' The two friends and families then mingle, but Leslie has some direct words of advice for another Islander - Harry - before she leaves the villa. Meg's mum and sister, Nathalie and Paige, arrive alongside Dejon's mum and sister, Demelza and Gene. In unison Meg's mum and sister yell: 'Where's 'our Meg'?' Meg's sister Paige wants answers, saying to Meg: 'You let him get away with a lot though, why?' And Dejon's mum Demelza has some thoughts for her son saying: 'In the beginning it was like you had verbal diarrhoea. 'No mother needs to hear about your threesomes and how much you looooooove sex. I just wanted to go, "Shut up!" You're a big flirt, didn't know that.' Dejon stiffly replies: 'You lot just come in to cook me or what?' But his sister Gene insists: 'We've been watching you for the last how many weeks - you need this feedback!' A hopeful Meg asks her family: 'Does everyone like D or are they just wary of him?' And Jamie's brother Michael and mum Tina arrive with Yasmin's twin sister Zara and mum Mitra. Tina tells Jamie: 'You are the golden retriever to her black cat!' And Zara tells an emotional Yas: 'I'm literally getting stopped, people are coming up to me thinking I'm you. The amount of messages I've got saying, "Tell your sister she's an icon, she's a legend".' As Yas starts talking about the future, Tina is impressed and says: 'I love the fact that you're looking outside of the villa as well.' Elsewhere, Shakira and Harry's relationship is creeping forward at a snail's pace, with Shakira dodging Harry's kiss after the recoupling. On the terrace Toni and Cach celebrate the fact they are coupled up and content with the progression of their romance, with Cach saying: 'Let's see if I can give you your fairytale ending.' And in the dressing room, Harry and Shakira debrief on the recoupling that's brought them back together. Harry says of the Firepit: 'That was not easy. Not in terms of who I was going to pick, but just both of you [Shakira and Helena] being stood up there.' Shakira replies: 'I can't believe we're back at day two. Right back to where we started. Further back, if that's even possible. This is no good.' Harry says: 'No, I think it's good. It doesn't feel good, but I think it's going to be really good.' Shakira warns: 'Baby steps,' to which Harry replies: 'Yeah, I'm good with that.' But as they cuddle and Harry leans in for a kiss, Shakira turns to give him her cheek. 'Baby steps, baby steps,' he concedes. The next day, Harry sets about making a breakfast date for Shakira, taking inspiration from his ex. After asking Helena what she's eating - a yoghurt bowl - he makes one for Shakira, which doesn't go unnoticed by other Islanders, including Megan. Watching on as they eat, Helena says: 'A breakfast date he never would give me,' and Dejon chimes in: 'Exclusive three days and now he's discarded you. It's honestly terrible.' 'Just acting like I've never existed in this Villa,' replies Helena. After seeing it unfold, Helena decides to pull Harry to question his actions.
