Love Island star Belle Hassan, aged 27, has reunited with her father for a welcome home dinner, but her partner Harrison Solomon, 23, was conspicuously absent from the family gathering. The dumped islander, who appeared elated to see her dad Tamer, exited the show and missed out on the final after former contestants voted her and Harrison off for being the least compatible pair.
Scrutiny Over Compatibility and Behaviour
During the live finale, Harrison was called out for his behaviour with ex-girlfriend Lauren Wood. It was claimed that the footballer was 'talking about baby names' with the TV personality just a week before his flight to South Africa for the show. Despite his mother reportedly having to reach out to Lauren to clarify the situation, Harrison insisted they were over and that she had no reason to be upset.
Belle also faced intense scrutiny, attempting to defend herself over allegations of 'bullying' behaviour in the villa. She continued to refuse to accept any responsibility for her actions. As Belle arrived at Sheesh restaurant in a lace dress for the dinner, reuniting with her father, Harrison was nowhere to be seen, adding fuel to the fire over whether the couple were suitably matched.
Controversial Villa Dynamics
Belle was at the centre of controversy over her behaviour towards fellow islander Lucinda, which viewers have branded as 'bullying'. Tensions began when Lucinda stole Sean Stone from Belle, who then decided to give her a dressing down. In similar actions, Belle then made a play for Scott, despite him being coupled up with Leanne Amaning.
Belle tried to claim the situation was not as bad as what she experienced with Sean, but viewers heavily disagreed. Her father appeared on the show during her time in the villa, as she received a call from him during the final days of the competition.
Harrison Addresses Ex-Girlfriend's Claims
Earlier this week, Harrison finally addressed Lauren's claims that they were 'still together' when he entered the villa. The footballer hit back at his former girlfriend's accusations during Monday's final, stating it was a 'shame' she had spoken about their failed relationship publicly.
Harrison famously quit the Love Island villa to be with Lauren during the 2025 series, but in November it was revealed the pair had split. Speaking during the Love Island: All Stars final, Harrison confirmed they had 'amicably' split up at the end of October, after watching Lauren's comments on Joe Baggs' podcast for the first time.
He told host Maya Jama: 'It's a shame because I feel like we broke up very amicably. I thought a lot of things she said in the podcast were untrue, but it's something I don't really want to air on national TV. I need to air it in private, have the conversation with her and go from there.'
All Stars Winners and Lineup
The winners of Love Island: All Stars 2026 have been revealed after a fraught series packed with rows, scandals, and drama. Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies were crowned champions after a tense public vote, beating out Millie Court and Zac Woodworth who finished in second place.
Breaking down in tears, Samie emotionally thanked viewers for voting for them, with the thrilled couple sharing a kiss in celebration. Samie and Ciaran coupled up soon after she entered the villa as a bombshell, and despite many late arrivals and twists, the pair's romance proved the strongest of the series.
