In one scene, he controversially made a plea to Toni ahead of the latest recoupling to pick him, despite having had sex with Lauren the night before.
Aware of the heartache he was causing them both, Harrison made the decision to remove himself completely.
It's a decision that has been welcomed by Toni's mum, who has been keeping a keen eye on what's been going on from their home back in the US.
Taking to TikTok, Leslie said: "Obviously I'm really thrilled that he is out of sight, out of mind, and I think that it will speed up the healing process for both Toni and Lauren, to be quite honest."
"However, sort of like public service announcement, part of it, for me, is that I have some empathy for him as well," she added.
"He is a 22 year old young man who I don't think had any idea of the implications that of his actions, I don't agree with just about anything he did in there, but I don't think he saw the bigger picture, and I'm sure stepping out of this bubble now is going to be quite traumatic for him, and I would offer him grace."
Adding she hoped his time in the villa would prove a "wake-up call of how he should treat people" she continued: "Hopefully he gets the help that he needs to deal with this aftermath, because I don't wish him harm. I wish him also healing and learning from his mistakes.
"So yes, I am happy he is away from the villa, and again, wishing him health and good luck.
"I have a feeling he's in for a very rude awakening, and I feel for his family as well, because nobody wants to see one of your loved ones go through this."
Her empathetic message came before she found out that Lauren was dumped from the villa as well following the introduction of a new bombshell in yet another twist.
Love Island's most savage game returns as bitter rivalries explode - and Toni breaks down in tears
Leslie had previously been critical of Toni and Harrison's relationship, especially after the pair reunited after movie night last week, and a clip shown to the villa proved Toni still had feelings for Harrison.
She said: 'My initial reaction to the first look is no.
'No, no, no, no, no. If I had my way, I would hire one of those little planes that has the banner at the back and have it fly over the villa and that banner would say 'leave Harrison alone. Harrison leave Toni alone.''
She continued: 'I'm not happy about it at all. I'll just keep praying that she can straighten her crown up and realise how much better she deserves.
'I'm with all of you out there saying 'no Toni, no, don't do it.''
With Toni now the only part of the love triangle still in the villa, will she be able to find a stronger match as the finale draws closer?
Love Island continues 9pm on ITV2.

First Dates' most tragic endings - from harrowing murder-suicide that tore family apart to pageant winner who died aged 32 just months after TV debut
Shining a spotlight on Britain's sweetest, quirkiest and sometimes strangest singletons, First Dates is one of the most heartwarming shows on the small screen. The Channel 4 reality programme, led by French maitre d' Fred Sireix, 53, sees Brits from across the country head on a blind date to the First Dates restaurant. Joined by kindly barman Merlin Griffiths and a loveable gang of wait staff, the charming host and his romantic eatery have been a hit since the show began in 2013. With nine successful series, it has spawned multiple spin-offs, including First Dates Hotel on the sun-soaked continent, as well as a version for teens. But while the programme's purpose is to create blossoming romance, its cast have, over the years, experienced their share of heartbreak and tragedy. From an untimely passing, to a horrifying murder-suicide, some of the most beloved First Dates guests have suffered the most heart-rending ordeals. But while the programme's purpose is to create blossoming romance, its cast have, over the years, experienced a disproportionate amount of heartbreak and tragedy. Pictured: Rachael Leader, left, with daughter Oria Henry and ex Ashley Henry, who died in a murder-suicide in June 2023 Judy Fitzgerald Judy Fitzgerald, 32, from Co Limerick, appeared on First Dates Ireland in March 2022. The former Miss Bikini Ireland, who was crowned in 2014, was a qualified fitness instructor pursuing a career in the fitness modelling industry. The international beauty pageant star was also regularly featured in national newspapers and graced the cover of multiple glossy magazines. Not only that, she was a qualified nurse and midwife, having served as a frontline worker during the Covid-19 pandemic. Highly successful Judy had her whole life ahead of her and, with her appearance on First Dates, had clearly been looking for someone to share it with. But it was revealed in May 2023 she had tragically passed away 'unexpectedly', with her cause of death not made public. A death notice at the time added she would be 'sadly missed by her heartbroken parents Liam and Imelda, sister Lucy, brother William, brother-in-law Pedro, extended members of the Fitzgerald and Martin families and a large circle of friends'. 'May she rest in peace', it concluded. Judy earned a nursing degree from University College Cork, before completing a postgraduate midwifery degree at the University of Limerick. She enjoyed considerable success throughout her varied career, representing Ireland in beauty pageants around the world and working as a model. Judy famously took to the catwalk in 2015 during New York Fashion Week. This also saw her invited by event organisers to interview participating designers about their collections, which she described as a 'dream come true'. As a fitness instructor, she helped others achieve their goals with personalised workout and diet plans via her website and app 'Judy FitZ Fitness, Get Fit with Fitz'. She said she wanted to 'empower' clients to 'change their lives for the better' and 'become the best version of themselves'. Inspiring people was a motivating factor for Judy, who said there is 'no better feeling' than helping people 'feel about good themselves both inside and out'. She was an advocate for positive mental attitude through exercise and a mental health ambassador. Competing as a fitness model, Judy was crowned overall European Fitness Model Champion 2019. She shared her successes with her thousands of social media followers on Facebook, TikTok and Instagram. Tributes poured in from fans, friends, and colleagues when she passed away in 2023. Venera Tabakin, a dress designer at the Cannes Film Festival, shared images of herself with Judy, writing: 'RIP Judy Fitzgerald, my little model and friend, Miss Bikini Ireland and Celebrity of Ireland.' Fellow pageant contestant Mary Mullally wrote: 'Judy Fitzgerald, our Miss Bikini Ireland 2014, has sadly gained her wings. 'She will be truly missed in the modeling and beauty industry and community.' Actor Jenny Dixon, who formerly appeared on long-running Irish soap opera Fair City, shared an online tribute to Judy. 'So, so sad to learn of Judy's passing', she wrote. 'She will be missed by all very much. Our sincerest sympathy to the Fitzgerald family and friends. May she Rest in Peace.' And friend Nicola Hoey described Judy as a 'bubbly, fun, smiley, kind, beautiful Polly Pocket friend'. She wrote: 'Sadly our beautiful friend flew to with her family and friends, a huge community are heartbroken, devastated and in utter shock.' Jordan Dunbar Just months before Judy sadly passed away, another First Dates Ireland contestant, Jordan Dunbar, 29, of Dublin, also tragically lost his life. He died in March 2023, five days after he was found unresponsive in his home in the Irish capital. Jordan quickly won viewers over when he appeared on the first series of the Irish spin-off from First Dates when it aired in 2016. Formerly a hairdresser, who worked in several Dublin salons, he was catapulted to showbiz success after his appearance on the reality programme. He went on to co-present Irish life makeover show My Yellow Brick Road when it launched in 2019 as one of four guides to guests at a crossroads in life. The show synopsis read: 'All [four guides] have each battled and dealt with often traumatic difficulties, from alopecia to depression, dyslexia to drug abuse, and have helped give others strength by talking openly about where they found the strength to do so.' But just a few years later, he attempted to take his own life, sadly passing away in hospital five days later. He died from a lack of oxygen to the brain and an autopsy revealed traces of cocaine and opiates in his body. It came after a man who Jordan said had sexually assaulted him several months prior had allegedly threatened to burn his house down, an inquest heard. One of his best friends Leeanne Nolan said she received a call from him at around 6.30am on the day he attempted to take his own life and tried to reassure him. She said Jordan had been sexually assaulted several months before during a casual encounter, which had turned violent. Leeanne added this person, whose identity she did not know, had threatened Jordan if he reported the assault. The friend said this seemed to be playing on his mind that morning - so she called the emergency services and also immediately drove to the house herself. She said Jordan had struggled with his mental health, having received calls like this from him before after he was bullied in school and had a history of self-harm and attempted suicide. Leeanne said: 'He was one in a million and you could never replace him. He struggled inside but masked it very well.' Jordan's father Albert Murphy had moved to be close to his son and keep him safe after his mother Sharon died in 2015. He said he knew his son was suicidal and was using cocaine - but Jordan never spoke to him about it as he was 'anti-drugs'. The father said of his son: 'He was a kind young fellow who would do anything for everyone.' Jordan's family said after his death: 'He is predeceased by his loving mam Sharon and uncle Michael. 'He will be sadly missed by his loving dad Albert and Albert's brother and sisters, aunt Michelle, cousin Craig, his second family Gerry, Leeanne and Maria Nolan, his close friends Geena and Megan, relatives and a large circle of friends. 'May Jordan Rest In Peace.' Ireland's state broadcaster RTE, who made My Yellow Brick Road, said at the time: 'We are very sad to hear of the death of Jordan Dunbar. 'Jordan featured on First Dates Ireland and was also a presenter on the series My Yellow Brick Road. 'A wonderful talent, gone far too young. Our deepest sympathies to his loved ones.' TV production company Coco Television, which produces First Dates Ireland, said: 'Our hearts our broken with the death of Jordan Dunbar, such a talented and beautiful person. 'We first met him on First Dates and he went on to present My Yellow Brick Road on RTE. 'He was a joy to work with and it was a privilege to know him. Deepest sympathy to all who loved him.' Rachael Leader Rachael Leader, who appeared on First Dates in 2020, suffered the devastating loss of her two-year-old daughter Oria Henry in 2023 in a horrifying murder-suicide. The young girl had been in the car with her father Ashley Henry, 35, after a weekend break with him in Skegness, Lincolnshire, when they crashed into an HGV lorry. The young girl (pictured) had been in the car with her father Ashley Henry, 35, after a weekend break with him in Skegness, Lincolnshire, when they crashed into an HGV lorry On their return to Oria's Leicestershire home, the car was seen pulling out directly into the path of the oncoming vehicle on the A153 on June 18 - Father's Day. It caused the lorry to jack knife while the father's rented Nissan Qashqai ended up on its roof in a ditch. There was no evidence he braked before hitting the moving van - and both father and daughter were pronounced dead at the scene. Oria, whose second birthday was just two months before her death, suffered 'unsurvivable injuries' including a fractured skull and external injuries. The tragedy was initially treated as an accident - but a murder investigation was eventually launched after 'careful consideration'. Coroner Jayne Wilkes, at the inquest at Lincolnshire Coroner's Court, ruled the child, who only saw her father at weekends, was already dead before the collision. It is unclear how she died, with 'no physical evidence of a fatal assault' and no 'natural or toxicological' evidence. But it was ruled it was likely 'an unlawful act' that was 'carried out with the intention of ending her life'. The coroner added grimly: 'It is possible, probable, that Ashley made sure Oria would not survive.' Home Office pathologist Dr Stuart Hamilton said he thought but could not prove the child had been killed before the crash - possibly by suffocation with a pillow. Before this, Henry left a 'detailed' suicide note on a Word document saved to a laptop in his bedroom, entitled 'Bye'. It marked his 'intention to end both his own life and that of his daughter'. He told of deciding eight weeks earlier, saying 'there was a sense of relief and calm knowing the end of life was near' and he was 'going to be with my daughter'. The letter also saw him confess he feared being replaced as Oria's 'father figure' by her mother's new boyfriend and therefore losing access to the girl. Henry also described in his final letter how much 'fun' he and Oria had had at the seaside in Skegness that last weekend, at the South View Caravan Park. He wrote: 'We went to the beach, we ate ice cream and we ate fish and chips. 'That was my last day with her. Me and Oria are now at peace forever. We love you.' He described attending a family weekend the previous weekend: 'It was wonderful to be all at the wedding - the last time. 'It was enjoyable and I hope you have happy memories.' He had been known to have 'periods of anxiety and depression' and 'he was not taking the break up of the relationship well', the coroner added. Rachael and her ex's mother Lisa Henry sobbed in court as the coroner delivered her verdict. Ms Wilkes described Oria as a 'beautiful, bright, bubbly little girl who brought sunshine into the life of everyone who knew her'. Rachael paid a heart-rending tribute to her wonderful child: 'To my darling daughter, Oria. I love you so much. I'm so sorry your precious life was taken from you. 'You gave me so much light, sweetheart, so much love and so much happiness.' She has described her ex as 'evil' and 'psycho' in social media posts, documenting online her 'journey of grief'. Rachael wrote on Facebook: 'My poor baby. You were taken from me by an evil force. 'A sick man, a man that I trusted with your life only for it be taken away by him in such a horrific way. ''Oria, I am so sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you... I will cherish each and every moment we had together. 'You had the most beautiful smile and gorgeous curly hair. You touched the hearts of many Oria and I'm so incredibly proud to be your mummy.' The mother also said after her daughter's death: 'I don't understand how one could take their own child's life out of spite. And have planned it, weeks before. 'It's psychotic. He felt that was the only way and he wanted to hurt me that much.' The inquest was told Henry had not wanted a child but 'doted' on his daughter after her arrival. Ms Wilkes also called the killer a 'popular and talented' man with many friends and who was 'highly thought of' at his workplace. But she added: 'He was clearly suffering what he called a "dark torture" in his head.' Paul Danan Actor and TV personality Paul Danan sadly passed away aged 46 earlier this year, at his home in Bristol. The Hollyoaks star died from a cocktail of drugs, including heroin, methadone, codeine, pregabalin, cocaine and zopiclone, contributed to by benzodiazepine use, a later inquest found. Assistant Coroner Debbie Rookes also concluded in May he died by 'misadventure' and the combined effect of the prescribed and illicit drugs. There was no evidence, she said, he wanted to take his own life and he had not left a note. It followed a long-running battle with addiction and mental health difficulties, she noted, including an accidental overdose in May last year. But Paul, who had also starred in Celebrity Love Island and Celebrity Big Brother, had much to look forward to before his tragic passing. It was later revealed the star was in secret talks to star in First Dates and had been feeling hopeful about his future. A source told The Sun: 'Paul was feeling so excited about the future again and optimistic about finding someone he could share the rest of his life with. 'He loved being on telly, and First Dates seemed like a great opportunity to get back onto the dating scene. 'Obviously, producers were really keen to sign him up knowing how popular he was and they were in discussions about him joining the next series. 'He would have been brilliant on a date in the famous restaurant - with a real chance of finding love.' The troubled actor was found dead on a sofa with the TV still on at his home on January 15 of this year. His girlfriend Melissa Crooks raised the alarm when she had not heard from him after they had been out together for a 'couple of drinks' in the early hours of January 14. A neighbour then used a ladder to gain entry to his first-floor flat where Paul was found. Emergency services attended the scene and he was pronounced dead at 5.20pm on January 15. His body was identified at the property by Melissa. His mother Beverley Danan said in a statement at the inquest: 'Paul helped so many people from all walks of life, but just couldn't help himself in the same way. 'His smiling face and love of life will always be remembered.' The coroner said that none of the drugs Paul had taken were found in high levels but their combined effect resulted in 'fatal respiratory depression'. Paul had been due to appear for a plea hearing at Warrington Magistrates' Court on January 16 after being charged with being found in possession of cocaine and cannabis, according to court documents. He was also accused of driving while under the influence of drugs on October 2, 2024, in Warrington, Cheshire. The actor had been open about his struggles with addiction, having admitted he has had enough stints in rehab as to enter double digits. He has also previously detailed nearly dying from a heroin overdose. His death came months after he revealed he had been rushed into the ICU with pneumonia after respiratory failure due to 'obsessive' vaping. Paul's family had been warned by medical staff he 'might not make it through the night'. After he pulled through, doctors warned him he would need an oxygen tank later in life if he did not stop smoking. The star had smoked cigarettes for years before moving to disposable vapes, which he even sometimes slept with, 'for comfort'. A statement from his agents, Independent Creative Management, said: 'It is with heavy hearts that we share the tragic news of the passing of Paul Danan at just 46 years old. 'Known for his television presence, exceptional talent, and unwavering kindness, Paul was a beacon of light to so many. 'His untimely departure will leave irreplaceable voids in the lives of all who knew him.' Merlin Griffiths Merlin Griffiths is a First Dates institution, with maitre d' Fred handing guests over to him, after welcoming them to the restaurant, for some much-needed Dutch courage. The bartender mixes up a drink of the singleton's choice while chatting to them about what they are looking for from the show and why they signed up. He is a crucial part of the heartwarming programme, providing an introduction to its quirky contestants - and helping to ease their nerves as the big night begins. But despite being a rock for the members of the public looking for love, he himself has been undergoing an incredibly challenging health battle in recent years. The TV star revealed in 2021 he had been diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer, marking a dangerous spread of the disease beyond the original tumour. Merlin underwent a gruelling 18 months of treatment to try to beat cancer - and thankfully, he has now been declared to be in remission. The beloved bartender courageously shared every step of his journey with fans, keeping them up to date about each new intense treatment. And despite his relief at his recovery, the star has previously told The Mirror he was forever changed by his experience: 'My life will never be the same. The TV star (pictured) revealed in 2021 he had been diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer, marking a dangerous spread of the disease beyond the original tumour 'My life will never be quite the same and anyone that has gone through bowel cancer and the horrific treatment that it involves will understand.' In a terrifying admission, he revealed: 'I might look whole but I'm actually missing about 45 per cent of my insides. 'It's quite a major amputation internally that I have had.' He revealed to his more than 150,000 Instagram followers in April 2023 he was 'clear' of cancer as part of a one-year update. The star explained he had been for his one-year colonoscopy bowel cancer check-up and was given the positive results there was 'no cancer seen'. Merlin shared a snap of himself in his hospital gown and a photograph of his test results as he candidly spoke about the difficult preparation for the procedure. He also shared because he is clear of cancer, his next check-up will be in three years' time, followed by another in 2027. Announcing his health news, he wrote: 'Scroll across... 1-year colonoscopy check up for #bowelcancer; Prep was soo difficult this time. He revealed to his more than 150,000 Instagram followers in April 2023 he was 'clear' of cancer as part of a one-year update Despite his relief at his recovery, the star has previously said he was forever changed by his experience: 'My life will never be the same' 'Soiled the bed several times overnight, resorted to adult nappies, got about 2 hours kip. Felt like hell. 'First one with my newly connected arse too (sans rectum), so I was a little nervous. But along with my last blood tests (clear), at one year examination, we're clear! Phew.

Noughties pop star opens up about ‘damaging experience' in band after he was ‘forced to hide' his sexuality
HE garnered overnight fame back in 2001 after being launched on ITV's reality show Popstars before having huge success in the band Hear'Say, but it wasn't all glitz and glamour behind the scenes. Noel Sullivan, 44, was chosen to be a part of the band alongside Myleene Klass, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw and Danny Foster and despite their debut album going to number one, the group had short-lived fame after parting ways just two years later. 4 The singer has now opened up about his experience in the band and said the experience damaged him because he wasn't allowed to discuss his sexuality. He told Heat magazine: 'It was really mad. It was lifetime ago. I can look back at it with fond memories now, but it took while to sort through the damage. But I'm here and I survived. 'I was 19, 20 years old at the time, so at an age when I should be exploring who I am. 'To be boxed back up and chucked back in the closet was a damaging experience for me, it took a lot of time to find some resolution to that and not feel guilty or shameful because of it.' Noel is now happily married to his husband James after coming out in 2017 and regularly shares pictures of the pair together on social media. This isn't the first time Noel has opened up about his sexuality being a point of contention when he was in the band. In 2017, he took to Instagram to share a picture of himself on his birthday and took the opportunity to get some things off of his chest. He penned: 'As a 19 year old, I was told to shut up about my sexuality. If I wanted a career, I had to be something else. Silent. It ruined me. 'No one was held accountable for the years of depression and self abuse that followed. It got to the point where I felt like I couldn't speak out anymore because my time in the spotlight had passed and I assumed no one would care. 'It was a turbulent time but I took solace in my family and in theatre. Without the crazy, beautiful, supportive and talented people I worked with, lived with and performed for, I could never have found myself. 'After years of self doubt I finally feel free to say what I need to. Free to let go of the past, free to love myself. But most importantly, free to love. Thank you.' Hear'Say released two albums in their short-lived career, with their debut album Popstars charting at number one in the UK, Scotland and New Zealand. They followed this up with their second outing, in the form of Everybody, which released just nine months after their first, but it failed to have the same momentum, charting at number 24 in the UK. The band had four top ten singles, with hits Pure and Simple and The Way To Your Love bagging the top honours. After the band members went their own separate ways, Noel opted for a quieter life but didn't give up on the entertainment industry all together. He has appeared in several musical theatre productions, including Fame, Love Shack, What A Feeling and acted as Danny Zuko in Grease. Noel has also shown off his acting chops on the small screen, with appearances in Gavin & Stacey, BBC Drama Ordinary Lies, Doctors and the Call The Midwife Christmas special in 2021. Where are Hear'Say now? Danny Foster Danny, 45, stepped out of the spotlight after Hear'Say split. He is married to Victoria Goddard, who he has been with for nearly two decades. Danny popped up on The Voice in 2013 singing Spice Girls hit Wannabe but none of the judges turned for him. Two year later he suffered a terrifying car accident where he was forced to flee a burning vehicle. These days he runs a retro soul act called Danny Foster & The Big Soul Corporation and is heavily into meditation. Kym Marsh Kym, 47, was the first member of Hear'Say to leave the band, later saying she'd had huge bust-ups with Myleene. She was replaced by Lisa Scott-Lee 's husband Johnny Shentall while she forged a solo career. The star went on to marry EastEnders favourite Jack Ryder and Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas. Kym, who appeared on Coronation Street as Michelle Connor and starred on Strictly, has three children - David, Emily, and Polly. She and Jamie had a son called Archie who tragically died soon after being born in 2009. These days the actor and singer is wowing audiences in a stage version of 101 Dalmatians. Suzanne Shaw Hear'Say split just after Suzanne's 21st birthday with the star, now 42, launching a career in musical theatre. She also appeared in both soapland, as Emmerdale 's Eve Birch, and reality telly on Dancing On Ice. Suzanne has an 18-year-old son called Corey from her relationship with Darren Day and eight-year-old Rafferty with businessman Sam Greenfield. She is now a fitness fanatic and plant-based diet enthusiast. Noel Sullivan Noel, 43, said he'd been "thrown on the scrapheap" in his early 20s when the band split, but he quickly found a new career on the stage. He even moved to Las Vegas for 18 months fronting Strictly Ballroom and had a scene-stealing cameo as himself in Gavin & Stacey as Nessa's mate. In 2019, he shocked This Morning viewers after h e put on two stone to play Jack Black's character in the musical School of Rock. He is married to James Bennett and the pair have been hard at work renovating their 16th century house in the foothills of the Pyrenees in France. Myleene Klass Myleene, 46, has had a varied media career from hosting The One Show, to presenting shows on Classic FM and of course a stint on I'm A Celebrity. Myleene has three children, Ava and Hero with her ex-husband Graham Quinn and Apollo, three, with her fiance Simon Motson. 4
