“Leave Toni be” — Shakira confronts Harrison over mixed signals on Love Island UK

Love Island UK continued on July 11, 2025 with a new episode full of tension and shifting dynamics. One of the key moments involved Shakira stepping in to defend her friend Toni calling out Harrison for his mixed behavior following the Casa Amor recoupling. Although Harrison chose to bring Lauren back into the villa, he continued to engage with Toni in ways that raised questions.

Shakira didn’t hold back as she addressed Harrison directly:

“In front of the Firepit you were giving it big ‘uns… If you’re all for Lauren, leave Toni be.”

Harrison, caught off guard, tried to clarify the situation to Lauren, saying,

“Apparently we’re rubbing it in Toni’s face.”

The episode also featured a follow-up from Dejon, who made a second attempt at defining things with Meg after a failed conversation the previous day. Elsewhere, tensions rose further during the highly anticipated Movie Night, where Islanders watched clips of each other’s secret moments under the spotlight.

Following Casa Amor, Harrison returned to the villa with Lauren, but his actions since then raised eyebrows. During the July 11 episode of Love Island UK, Shakira decided to speak up after noticing how Harrison continued interacting with Toni despite having recoupled. She called him out near the Firepit and questioned whether his behavior was fair to either girl.

Lauren soon joined the conversation, and Harrison tried to explain what was going on.

“Apparently we’re rubbing it in Toni’s face,” he told her.

Shakira, however, felt that Harrison was not being clear and was making things worse.

“He’s come back and sh*t on everything they had… He doesn’t help it by being a wind up,” she said.

Lauren, looking for clarity, asked, “Why is he being a windup?” Shakira explained that the conversation Harrison had with Toni after the recoupling didn’t match what others heard at the Firepit. This led to more confusion and doubt in the Love Island UK villa.

Harrison insisted that he had already told Lauren everything; he insisted that he had already told Lauren everything but she disagreed, saying he hadn’t shared the full story especially since Toni seemed to believe there was more between them. The tension made it clear that unresolved feelings and unclear intentions were still present; leaving everyone wondering what Harrison truly wanted.

Dejon tries again with Meg while Movie Night stirs Love Island UK villa

Elsewhere in the Love Island UK villa, Dejon was determined to fix things with Meg. After an earlier conversation about becoming exclusive didn’t go as he hoped, he planned a romantic redo on the terrace. With help from Conor, who brought Meg up to meet him, Dejon gave the discussion another try.

“Yesterday, I had a conversation with you about wanting to be exclusive with you but the conversation didn’t go how I wanted it to go,” he told her.

He continued,

“But in a relationship and with love you can’t have fear or pride, so I thought I’d try again and have written some things down…”

He then read a few lines from his phone, hoping his honest words would help clear the air between them. While Dejon worked on mending his connection, the rest of the villa was preparing for Movie Night. The Islanders dressed up and settled in for a screening of clips from their time in the Love Island UK villa.

The movie titles included ‘When Harry Met Helena… Shakira, Yasmin, and Rheo,’ ‘Good Dejon Hunting,’ ‘Free Billykiss,’ and ‘Shak-Ablanca.’ Each title hinted at drama, leading to rising tensions as the Islanders watched the footage.

As scenes played out, tempers flared and reactions varied. Secrets were revealed, and past actions resurfaced, leaving many of the Islanders in awkward or heated situations. The night ended with emotions high and several relationships left in uncertain places.

Stay tuned for more updates.
