Love Island's Haris had secret unaired chat with one girl before leaving the villa

Love Island's Haris Namani has revealed that he had a secret chat with Olivia Hawkins that wasn't aired.

Their private chinwag happened just moments before he left the villa - and it seems that the couple were a little closer than we realised.

Haris, 21, had his sights set on Olivia, 27, from the start, and they coupled up after she saved him from elimination.

The actress appeared to be closed off to anything romantic between her and Haris, until recent episodes.

During his exit interview after he was dumped from the island, he said: "It was only just getting good! From the get-go me and her had mutual attraction to each other.

"When we coupled up I felt we were getting closer than we were at the start.

"She’s a very good looking girl, her energy, the way she presented herself, the flirting, the funny side to her, she was a nice girl as well."

Haris also spoke about a conversation that viewers didn't get to see after he was picked to leave the villa.

He said: "We had a conversation just after the decision was made.

"You never know what could happen. Never say never."

He said that he understood why he was chosen to leave out of the three boys.

"Standing up there I did see I was the most vulnerable out of the two lads I was with. Tom’s good with Zara, Kai is good with Tanyel," he said.

"Aaron did take Olivia for a date and he said it sort of went well. He’s not going to look at it and think, ‘I’ll keep Haris in for a friendship".

"He’s most likely going to get to know Olivia. Whatever’s meant to be will be."

Haris left the villa just hours after a video of him in a street fight came to light.

The TV salesman was filmed punching another person on a night out.

Insiders told MailOnline that he left the villa as part of a planned public eviction, and that it was "just a coincidence that his departure came hours after the video was unearthed".

He said: “I’m devastated that this video has been seen, it’s not a reflection of my character.

“I’m not someone that goes looking for fights and I didn’t want to be in that situation. This was a heat of the moment thing.

“The video doesn’t show everything that happened. Afterwards we met up and we cleared the air; we’ve shaken hands and we get along now."
