Love Island star Harrison Solomon has reportedly quit the Love Island villa.

Torn between Toni Laites and Lauren Wood, footballer Harrison has spent the past week wrapped up in one of the most dramatic love triangles to hit our screens. After bringing Lauren back from Casa Amor, he decided he wasn't entirely done pursuing things with Toni - despite sleeping with Lauren twice. It was news Toni only discovered after re-coupling with him, later branding the 22 year old an 'evil man.'

However, while viewers braced for more chaos following last night's scenes, it seems Harrison has chosen to pull the plug. He reportedly packed his suitcase and left the Spanish villa on Thursday night.

It came after fans raised concerns over his behaviour, which has left both Toni and Lauren in tears. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), one fan wrote, 'Have we seen such displays ever before in Love Island? Harrison you are more than a villain. This is beyond Destiny's Childish.'

Another directly tweeted the ITV show, writing, 'How are you allowing Harrison and Harry to stay in the villa when they are obviously affected people's mental health with their toxic behaviour. As a father and a grandfather, I think it's really not a good look. It's called Love Island, not Toxic Island.'

Has Harrison Solomon left Love Island?

As of yet, ITV haven't confirmed the news. However, reports surfaced early Friday morning that Harrison left the villa following his emotional love triangle. A source told The Sun that he 'decided to quit' after struggling over the past few days.

'Everyone was so shocked, and people were crying and hugging him,' they shared. 'He worked through everything with the ITV duty of care team and is making his way home to his family now.'

The decision came after a dramatic episode last night, in which viewers ranked couple's on questions including 'Who is coasting?', 'Who is the biggest game player?' and 'Who is in the most one-sided relationship?' Perhaps unsurprisingly, Harrison and Toni found themselves in the top three for most categories - with Dejon Noel-Williams and Meg Moore, and Harry Cooksley and Helena Ford also making joining them.

It was later revealed that new bombshell Angel Swift would be spicing things up as a late arrival.

Harrison has had quite the rollercoaster ride since entering the villa on day eight. Initially picking both Toni and Malisha Jordan for dates, he later coupled up with Toni. Despite a brief flirt with Helena, the pair made it all the way to Casa Amor - where Harrison chose to bring Lauren back to the main villa.

After being pulled for a chat by the footballer, Toni later chose to recouple with Harrison - a decision that left Lauren sobbing, having been intimate with him for the past two nights. In scenes that shocked viewers, Harrison continued to play both women.

Last night, the triangle came to an end after both Lauren and Toni pulled Harrison for a chat.

Opening up about the situation, Toni - whose mum has made her thoughts clear about Harrison - said, 'Take accountability for the fact that you hurt people. You can say sorry 100 times, but do your actions or your words line up? No.'

'The way that you've acted has turned me all the way off you. You're not someone I would want to introduce to my family, or my friends. Your morals and ethics don't align with mine. I would never want you to represent me in a relationship and I hope any other woman would think the exact same thing, because you treat people like shit.'

ITV have previously opened up about their duty of care for Islanders who leave the show, either by choice or elimination. This includes a comprehensive aftercare package, psychological support, a minimum of eight therapy sessions, training on social media and finances, and help adjusting to life back home.
