The results were then revealed to the contestants, with Haris becoming the latest star to leave, , following David Salako out the door.
"Haris was booted off Love Island last night. There was a dumping and he got the chop. It is, in part, a relief for the show's bosses in light of the video of Haris in a street fight," a source told The Sun.
Since joining the show, Haris was initially interested in Anna-May before deciding they were better off as friends. Following that, he coupled up with Olivia and was keen to impress her. In the launch show, he revealed he had crossed paths with her before.

21-year-old Haris is a TV salesman from Doncaster and he hoped he might be able to find the one this Winter after heading to South Africa to find love. He was hoping to find the right girl for him, and described himself as
"I’m different, I’m a unique guy, the way I act; confident, not awkward, especially with the girls. I’m friendly, I’m very respectful as well. Anyone who meets me, I don’t think they have anything bad to say about me. I don’t give them that bad impression to say, ‘Oh, I don’t want to speak to him again,'" he shared ahead of his arrival into the villa.
Anna-May and Haris were initially partnered up (ITV)Haris explained how he had never found love in life so far - as he described the show as the "best opportunity" for him.
He said: "I've never found love. I think this is the show that can help me. It’s the best opportunity for me to find the girl and find the right one. I’ve obviously not found the right one myself. I've never taken a girl home, I’m not going to say I’ve fallen in love until I’ve taken them to meet my mum and dad or sisters and brother."
