LOVE Island fans have slammed Dejon Noel-Williams for "turning his back" on pal Harry during last night’s episode.
The drama hit new heights after Harry Cooksley was exposed during the infamous Grafties Awards, leading the entire villa to shun him.
In the clips shown, Harry was seen flirting up a storm with Shakira Khan, Emma Munro and Angel Swift, much to the dismay of his partner Helena Ford.
His actions led to even his close pal and confidant Dejon washing his hands of him, as the shamed star headed outside to sleep on the day beds.
However, viewers at home have lashed out at Dejon and have argued that the pair have egged each other on all series.
One fan expressed on X: “Dejon was actively encouraging Harry’s antics, going along with it to stop Harry settling down and therefore being competition to him.
“When Harry’s actions have caught up on him, Dejon distances himself so it doesn’t affect his own game! Game player!”
Another unhappy viewer fumed: “Dejon turning his back on Harry after being in his ear all season and co-signing his behaviour is definitely something. That boy is calculated.”
Somebody else wrote: “Dejon has been entertaining Harry’s actions for the entire time and suddenly now his PR is in the mud, he’s distancing himself. I am telling you this man is worse.”
A fourth Love Island enthusiast commented: “Dejon completely turning on Harry shows you the sort of fake game player he is. Harry’s done wrong but to completely turn on your best friend in there in his time of need most is crazy.”
While a fifth criticised: “The way Dejon threw Harry under the bus as if he wasn’t his accomplice throughout every bad behaviour Harry has done is wicked. With friends like that, who needs enemies.”
Helena was shown a clip of Harry telling his ex Emma that he still loved her and planning a date on the outside.
She raged: “I didn't expect you to be sat with your ex-girlfriend talking about getting back into bed with her.
"You just don't shut things down. You entertain everyone and everything.”
The tense episode also saw Harry reveal his true feelings for both Shakira and Helena, as he told Conor Phillips how he really felt.
He said: “I'll be honest mate - and I know you're probably gonna tell her this. I think it's more friendly, for me.
“I just feel like, with Shakira it was way more natural in my opinion. It was more relationship-focused, more emotional. I feel like I was way more into her."
After hearing this, Conor told him: "That's fine man, that's how you feel. No one can blame you for how you feel. But you just need to communicate it man."
Relaying his feelings for Shakira to a frustrated Helena, she decided to finally end things for good with him.
She told him Shakira wasn’t going to be with him and “I don't wanna be with you either,” before storming off.
Her close pals Megan Forte-Clarke and Meg Moore praised her for “standing on business” as they rallied around her and refused to give Harry the time of day.
