Over the course of the last week, Harry has been seen fighting for the affection of multiple girls – coupling up with Helena, before secretly snogging bombshell Yasmin in the Hideaway, and then trying to win back Shakira, whom he had a connection with at the beginning of the show.
However, it's become clear it won't be that easy, with Shakira bluntly telling him he'll need a "personality transplant" if she were to consider getting back with him.
Speaking with Dejon by the firepit about his predicament, his pal tried to offer him words of comfort, but admitted he felt Harry had a bigger connection with Helena.
A red-eyed Harry then admitted: "I just have, like, nothing, do you know what I mean? It's just like, one minute we're good and then it's just like she can't even be around me.
"It's like.. it's just weird, man. I will never be the same now, after the way I've acted."
But Sam wasn't buying it, telling host Maya: "I'm a skeptic, so I think that he's laying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, going, 'I'm gonna look terrible, I need to cry!'"
When asked if he thought they were crocodile tears, Sam hesitated before saying: "I don't know if they're crocodile, but I feel like it's more panic about how he's looking than how he feels about the girl in question."
After airing the clip, Maya Jama asked Harry's mum Julia how she felt about seeing her son, who declared it was "good" he finally seemed to be feeling bad about his actions.
Amy Hart had a slightly more empathetic take, believing that the pressure of the villa was beginning to get to the islander.
"I think it's like a release," she explained to the group. The villa is such a pressure cooker, and there's so much going on, and normally you'd go out with your mates, like go to the pub or whatever, or go out for a run or something.
Watch moment Harry reveals he's FAKING his feelings for Shakira to stay in the Love Island villa
"But you can't do any of that. So I think that's just how it came out."
The full scenes and what led up to Harry's emotional moment will be aired on tonight's show, with the footballer finding himself in a rut with Helena.
Viewers previously begged Helena, 29, to stop being a "doormat" and dump Harry, 30, for good after he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin in the Hideaway.
Their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night, despite them both initially denying it.
His confession prompted the blonde beauty to storm off - before her villa pal Megan Forte Clarke, 24, unleashed a sweary rant.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

‘Get her out' rant Love Island fans as they call for star to be kicked off show for ‘bullying'
LOVE Island fans were left fuming during last night's explosive episode - with many demanding one islander be booted from the villa after accusing her of 'bullying' behaviour. Viewers vent their frustration with some even calling on ITV bosses to step in after islander constantly "digs out other girls." 5 5 Helena Ford, 29 has been accused of brining "mean girl energy" and constantly "digging out" other girls in the sun-soaked villa. Viewers previously begged Helena to stop being a "doormat" and dump Harry, 30, for good after he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin, 24, in the Hideaway. His confession prompted the blonde beauty to storm off and call things off with Harry for good saying she's "done" being humiliated. Since then, Helena has failed to strike up a spark with any of the other boys in the villa. But she hasn't stayed out of the spotlight - instead, Helena's found herself caught up in the girls' drama. Sitting down with the newest boy Harrison, 22, to chat and flirt, Helena was talking about his other love interest, Toni, 24. Helena explained how she thought Toni was "marking her territory" with Harrison. She also said that it sometimes felt like Toni didn't like her talking to Harrison. Harrison was stunned and intrigued as Helena spoke about the American bombshell. Fans are flooding online forums with the same message: 'Get Helena out!' Love Island feud exposed as fans spot girl 'making faces' behind rival's back One wrote: "I feel as though she has such mean girl energy and can't hold a conversation without digging another girl out. "She has flashes of being funny and witty and I think her probably humiliating experience with Harry has left her feeling insecure and feeling worse but I've had enough of it now! "I also think if she left it would break up the unholy bully alliance of Meg/Megan/Helena (and increasingly Emily)". Another added: "Helena is just a boy follower.

Investment trust battles Fuji Media Holdings over sex assault scandal
A London-listed investment trust that branded a Japanese TV group embroiled in a sex assault scandal 'a total disgrace' has stepped up its campaign for the entire board to be replaced. Nippon Active Value Fund (NAVF), with its ally Los Angeles-based Dalton Investments, upped their stake in Fuji Media Holdings from 7.19 per cent to 7.51 per cent last week before the proxy fight on Wednesday. The shareholder revolt follows a scandal at the broadcaster that triggered public outrage and the departure of Masahiro Nakai, its star presenter, and is seen as a key test for the push to more accountable and shareholder-friendly governance standards in Tokyo-listed companies. Paul ffolkes Davis, chairman of Rising Sun Management, which manages NAVF, urged other shareholders in Fuji to vote against the company's 11 proposed board candidates and back instead its own slate of 12 nominees.
