Lauren has spoken out after she was dumped from Love Island 2025. After leaving the villa, she’s all over Harrison and is gushing about their upcoming relationship outside the show.
Lauren was brutally dumped last week. After Toni made the shock decision to recouple with Harrison, Lauren coupled with Ty. Then new girl Angel picked Ty as her number one boy, leaving Lauren single. When Lauren was dumped, Harrison followed. But this didn’t come without a lot of back and forth over if leaving was the right decision for him.
Now, in her exit interview, Lauren has reflected on her whirlwind time in the villa, and where she and Harrison stand now. She said she’s “100 per cent” with Harrison, and can’t wait to see where things go.
“Harrison and I had decided to get back together and try and work through the last few days we shared which were bumpy,” she said. “I’ve left at a rubbish time because we were going to rekindle things and have a future together. I’m gutted but I’m hoping everything works out.”

She said she and Harrison “didn’t have a chance” to rekindle in the villa, and if they had “would have been together until the end.”
Lauren called her experience in Casa “the best ever” and speaking of her connection with Harrison, said: “Me and Harrison had an instant connection and didn’t leave each other’s sides. We knew there was something there. You just can’t fake that. Everyone in the villa said he was like a completely different person when he was with me.”
Lauren was then asked about Toni and Harrison recoupling, and how she felt about his last minute change in saying he was interested in Toni again, despite having slept with her twice.
“I obviously didn’t expect him to couple up again with Toni, that literally came out of nowhere,” Lauren said. “When he told me originally that he’d like to have a few more chats with her, I had told him to just keep me in the loop, so when I heard that he’d poured his heart out to her on the terrace, it blew my mind. I never expected him to do that. I think he was just confused but he went the wrong way about it. Being in a love triangle is not ideal. Seeing someone you really like with someone else isn’t nice.”
Harrison didn’t leave the villa instantly when Lauren was dumped, but she’s said she understood his decision to take time over what to do.

She said: “Before I left the villa, Harrison sat down with both me and Toni and told her that he missed me and wasn’t moving forward with her because he had me on his mind. When I found out that I’d been dumped, we did briefly speak about him leaving with me and I asked him to.
“I realise that we’d had a bad few days together since the recoupling when he coupled back up with Toni, so it was a big decision for him to make. It didn’t really give him enough time so he said he’d sleep on it. I told him ‘if you mean what you’re telling me, you’ll act on it.’
“He said there’s no one else in there for him but only time will tell if he follows up on his word. I hope that he does leave, I really do. But at the same time I understand it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
So the big question now is if Lauren and Harrison see a future together. From her side, it’s a firm yes. “100 per cent,” Lauren said. “I’d love to see where it could go. I’m hoping that he comes out so that we can be together. I see myself being with him long term as I haven’t 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.”
