Harrison replies: 'Yeah yeah yeah. They'll say that shit. Fair enough.'
The clip sparked speculation that producers may be manipulating scenes for entertainment.
Love Island's Harrison and Lauren cosy up on romantic double date with villa couple just days after his shock show exit
In response, a Love Island spokesperson told The Sun: 'I think it's worth pointing out that he says twice in that clip that the drama is real himself.
"For guidance, the opinions the Islanders have, decisions they make and the
relationships
formed are completely within the control of the Islanders themselves.
"What is shown is an accurate representation of villa life.'
Harrison decided to quit the show in a surprise move after Lauren was dumped from the villa.
Lauren begged him to go with her, but he said he wanted to sleep on it.
The following day, Harrison announced to the Islanders that he was leaving the process.
Harrison and Lauren had sex while in the villa together, which caused divided opinions among viewers.
Upon his exit, Harrison was asked how he felt about his mum and dad knowing what he had done on television.
He said: 'I hope they didn't see. But listen, it was a natural thing.
'I don't think I intended to have
'Naturally, it was going to happen.
'The spark between us was crazy.
'I probably wasn't thinking about my parents and them watching it, but it naturally happened and I don't regret it.'
The controversial Islander was then
Harrison said he felt the point that his romancing of both girls went too far was after he'd slept with Lauren.
"I think maybe when we did bits," he said. "Probably took it a little bit too far talking to Toni after that.
"I obviously regret that massively and I apologise to both the girls but, yeah, it wasn't good for me."
He then said if he had his time again he would have had up front conversations with Toni and Lauren earlier to save them getting upset.
But viewers weren't buying his latest apology, with one writing on X: "Harrison has CLEARLY wrote a speech and memorised it this is not genuine."
Another said: "Harrison has gotten away with what he's done way too easily."
A third posted: "Harrison's not sorry for sh*t."
A fourth said: "Is anyone buying this with Harrison?
"I'm glad no one clapped at Harrison's poor excuse of an apology."
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
