Despite recently rekindling things with Toni, the pair had gone their separate ways in prior episodes, as Harrison told the rest of the Islanders he had found a girlfriend in Lauren as he made an emotional exit.<\/p>\n
Now, the pair have broken their silence ever since leaving, as they discuss their plans for the future. When asked what was next for himself and Lauren on the outside, Harrison said: “We\u2019ll make the distance work! It will be no issue. We left on good terms, but the two days prior to leaving, we weren\u2019t talking properly, so it would be good to have a conversation, get everything out in the open and hopefully move forward from there.”<\/p>\n

“I feel very strongly about the girl, I wouldn\u2019t have left if I didn\u2019t. I have no doubt in my mind that she\u2019ll be my girlfriend one day. I\u2019m buzzing to see her and reunite! She\u2019s such a great girl.”<\/p>\n
During their time in the villa, Lauren and Harrison left viewers in shock after Harry and Helena were seen passing a condom over to Harrison<\/a> in the middle of the night. Asked on how he feels about his parents having witnessed him “have sex” on TV, the footballer said: “I hope they didn\u2019t see!<\/p>\n “But listen, it was a natural thing. I don\u2019t think I intended to have sex in the Villa but in there all the Islanders could tell we were so attracted to each other, naturally it was going to happen. The spark between us was crazy! I probably wasn\u2019t thinking about my parents and them watching it but it naturally happened and I don\u2019t regret it.”<\/p>\n Elsewhere, Harrison said he hopes to be friends with Toni on the outside, but understands if she doesn’t feel the same way. “I\u2019d like to think we could be friends. I did her wrong a few times in there so I understand if she doesn\u2019t want to reciprocate that. The conversation prior to me leaving was a big moment for me and her,” he said.<\/p>\n “You could tell by me getting emotional, I was upset about how I\u2019ve acted and upset about Toni being upset as well. Similarly, if someone treated my sister like I\u2019d treated Toni in there obviously I\u2019d be mortified. I wanted to apologise to her and I think she could see I was being genuine. I\u2019m happy with how things were left.”<\/p>\n As for Lauren, she said she “100%” sees a future on the outside with Harrison. “I\u2019d love to see where it could go,” she said before he left.<\/p>\n “I\u2019m hoping that he comes out so that we can be together. I see myself being with him long term as I haven\u2019t had a connection like that with someone in such a long time. I know what we had was real despite what everyone else thinks. He has done wrong and made stupid mistakes, but he knows that and believes it was the wrong thing to do.”<\/p>\n The pair seem loved up for now, but if there’s one thing Harrison would change – it’d be who he went to for advice. In the villa we saw him close to Harry and Dejon, but he now regrets going to Harry for advice.<\/p>\n “I went to Harry a few times asking for advice. On reflection, he was probably the worst person to go to for advice! He does have a serious side but if I was ever to get into the situation again, I probably wouldn\u2019t go to him again, his advice was horrendous!” he exclaimed. “The trio was something special, the banter was flying, we were so close in there. I\u2019m sad to leave them.”<\/p>\n Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX<\/strong><\/p>\n Like this story?
