In recent weeks on Love Island, Helena Ford became exclusive with the professional footballer.
After this, Shakira Khan ended her partnership with Conor as she claimed that she had 'suppressed emotions' about her former partnership with Harry.
Later, Harry pulled Shakira for a chat where he flirted with her and suggested that it would "be a good idea" for the duo to meet up after the show.
Later, this clip was shown to all the islanders on the big screen leaving Helena fuming and the rest of the islanders in shock at his behaviour.
"I trust someone, and there's a level of respect there. And, like, the level of respect isn't there.
"Because for me, what is the crack like? What's the story like? Is it just sort of a thing where you want what you can't have?
"Why are you doing this? Because you're prodding her [Shakira], because she's trying to get over [you] and she's trying to move on, but flirting with her and stuff is still prodding her.
"And so what is like? What is that for? I'm so close to Shakira, [I can see] how actually hurt she is, her experience in here is nearly ruined.
"Then obviously having a situation, like her experiences here is nearly going to be ruined if she doesn't get over this."
He added: "And for what reason like just, that's what I'm trying to know."
Love Island star Harry makes very honest confession to Shakira as they chat after explosive Grafties and Helena split
Harry then said that hearing what Shakira had to say in their conversation on the steps inside the villa "changed things for him".
But Conor warned Harry to properly think about the connection he does share with Helena before he makes a rash decision.
"Just before you do anything with Helena, just think about honestly what you do want, because I don't know if Shakira will [get back with you]," he continued.
"I'm only trying to say that as a friend, it's just that f******, you might end up with nobody.
Connor added: "Just think about what you have first with Helena. And like, I think it's quite rare to be honest, like, what, like, what you do have."
This is when Harry thought that his partnership with Helena was "more friendly" and his connection with Shakira was more "relationship focussed".
Conor replied: "That's fine. Man, that's like, you know, that's how you feel.
"No one can blame you for how you feel, but you just need to communicate it man.
Just think about honestly what you do want, because I don't know if Shakira will [get back with you]
Conor Phillips
"You know what I mean? Rather than coasting along and then people getting blindsided."
In his beach hut confessional, Conor couldn't help but dissect the situation further.
"I don't feel bad for Harry unfortunately. You're [a] 30 year old man, I think you should maybe know a bit better than to play around with people's emotions like that."
Droves of fans took to social media to praise Conor for his stern words after watching scenes.

Writing on Instagram, one wrote: "Connor stood on business with this statement."
A second quoted: "Connor 'I don't feel sorry for Harry … he shouldn't play with people's emotions … he's a 30 year old man," followed by three clapping hand applause emojis.
"One thing about Conor is he's gonna tell the truth," stated a third fan.
As a fourth said: "Liked how Conor really asked the right questions and showed that's not fine how he acted."
Adding: "He also kept it to himself what Harry said until Helena sorted her relationship with him. Respect

Iconic British film starring Keira Knightley confirmed for a sequel after 23 years
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BEND It Like Beckham has been confirmed for a sequel, more than two decades after it was released. Director Gurinder Chadha revealed she is developing a follow-up to the 2002 hit film, which launched the careers of Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Bend It Like Beckham has been confirmed for a sequel, more than two decades after it was released Credit: Kobal Collection - Shutterstock The sequel is being lined up for release in 2027 to mark the film's 25th anniversary and coincide with the FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. Gurinder told the BBC: "We've been part of changing the game for women, so it felt like this was a good time for me to go back and investigate the characters." The director said she has been asked 'almost twice a week' since the original came out to create a sequel, though no decision has been made on whether it will take the form of a film or a television series. She added: 'A lot has changed since the original movie, but I think that people still don't think that women should play football. "There are people who still don't take it seriously, although the Lionesses are riding high. I've left it a while, but I thought: 'Look at the Euros, look at the Lionesses.'" Gurinder said she hopes to reunite the original cast and suggested members of the current England squad would be 'queuing up' to appear in cameo roles. The original film, made on a £3.5 million budget, became a box office success, earning nearly £60 million worldwide. It followed Jess Bhamra (Parminder), a teenager who dreams of playing football professionally, despite pressure from her traditional Sikh family to focus on education and marriage. She is recruited by Jules (Keira), who spots her talent and brings her into the local women's team. Chadha claimed she had not expected the film to take off, but wanted to 'uplift girls who were always being told how to dress and what to say'. Keira Knightley admits she's only watched Love Actually once - and reveals real reason why She said: 'What I did was say you can do what you want, and you can have it all,' she said. 'And I think that's a really great message to put out again. I think there's still stuff to say, and stuff to challenge.' Gurinder previously told The Mirror she had been working on a sequel to iconic movie The filmmaker said in 2023: "For the longest time I never wanted to do a sequel. "But I have to say, after the World Up this year, and also with the Euro's a few years ago, my brain is ticking again and I have an idea in my head that I'm thinking through for the first time. "I'm thinking that I could definitely do something. I never wanted to follow the girls off in America, because I felt that what I had created was so magical for that moment in time. "It's very hard with sequels - there are very few sequels that I think really hit the mark after the success of the first film. "However, I do have an idea and I am starting to work on it, so I think I will definitely do something that shows how brilliant our athletes are right now." The film highlighted the challenges girls face despite women's football growing in popularity since the film was released in 2002. Gurinder was inspired to create the film after seeing a photograph of legendary England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright dressed in a union jack flag. This made her think about what Britishness actually meant and the "evolving concept of Britishness." Football is important to Britain and the sport has the power to pull many different people together. Gary Lineker, who featured in the film, reflected on it saying how "football does unify the nation, everyone gets behind England and it's probably the only time we do all come together. That's what originated the idea of Bend It Like Beckham." There are plenty of fun facts about the film besides Wright being the inspiration. The budget may have been just £3.5 million but it grossed at nearly £60 million. Chada didn't know much about football and relied on co-writers to add the football bits. It was even the first Western filmed to be screened in North Korea at a public broadcast during a film festival in the country. Actresses Nagra and Kiera did three months worth of football training for the film and didn't use any doubles. The title itself is a metaphor as Chada explained back in 2003. She said: "We can see our goal but instead of going straight there, we too have to twist and bend the rules sometimes to get what we want. "No matter where we reside, no matter what group we claim or do not embrace as part of our ethnic lineage." 4 Director Gurinder Chadha revealed she is developing a follow-up to the 2002 hit film Credit: AFP 4 The original film earned nearly £60 million worldwide Credit: Rex

Love Island fans insist returning Islander ‘did their research' as they expose ‘game plan'
Viewers threatened to call Ofcom when this Islander returned EYES ON THE PRIZE Love Island fans insist returning Islander 'did their research' as they expose 'game plan' LOVE Island fans insist a returning Islander 'did their research' as they expose their 'game plan.' Irish star Megan made her villa return this week in shock scenes, alongside fellow dumped Islander Blu. 3 Love Island fans insist a returning Islander 'did their research' as they expose their 'game plan' 3 Fans have claimed Megan has an obvious game plan Megan was voted least favourite girl after dumping Tommy for Conor, before being axed. But her return has seen her head straight for Conor to pick up where they left off. However, Love Island viewers aren't convinced, with some saying that the brunette beauty has returned to the dating show with a game plan. Taking to Reddit, one person speculated: 'Irish Megan really did her homework. Notice how when Yasmin first came in irish Megan threw the blame on her calling her 'boring and sloppy' and never held Harry or Dejon accountable. 'But now she's flipping the script, telling the girls 'Oh the boys were the problem' and 'It's not Shakira it's Harry.' They continued: 'Since her return, Helena who's always laughing and scoffed 'I'm not threatened by Shakira.' is now crying….its no coincidence that both Helena and Megan are shifting the blame onto Harry instead of Shakira after irish meg came in because they would've jumped guns blazing on Shakira if they hadn't known what the public say about them.' And the poster finished by saying: 'They're even openly acknowledging the 'divide' for the first time and Megan who was confidently arguing with 4+ girls during movie night is now shedding crocodile tears for people to sympathise with her…irish meg TRUST and believe that you will be on that spirit flight back to england i've had enough of them rigging this season and painting shakira and toni as the villains.' The comment was liked by thousands of people in agreement, but not everyone agreed with the theory. Some said it was a good thing that Megan was calling out the boys for their actions, while others fumed that the word 'game player' was being thrown about too easily. Love Island fans praise Megan as she calls out Harry for his actions in brutal speech On her villa return, Megan revealed the real reason she decided to come back. She said: "I'm excited to go back in, I think I left quite abruptly and I'm going back in for some clarity. "It was an easy decision to make. "When you can't speak to people for a couple of weeks and have to watch them on telly every night, you want some answers." Some Love Island fans ended up complaining to Ofcom about Megan and Blu's return to the villa. "Producers are ****s, they bring Megan back now that Shakira + Conor are happy + now I've seen that they've put the clip of Shakira + Toni talking about meg + demon in the grafties? "I hate them and ofcom will be hearing from me." Someone else added: "And the voting was rigged - I'm complaining to ofcom too, sick of the lies." A third penned: "@itv bringing back meg over alima is disgraceful. And I will be complaining to ofcom. "Megan recieved the lowest amount of votes. Alimas was never voted out by the public but by somone stealing her man. "S10 molly was kicked out the same way and eventually brought back." A fourth then said: "Everyone needs to complain to ofcom after that episode!!!!!!!" While a fifth added: "I'm actually gonna file an ofcom complaint cause how can they disregard our votes like that? "Megan literally had the lowest votes for favourite girl FOR A REASON."
