Love Island's Haris Namani looks downcast as he lands in UK after street brawl video

Love Island's Haris Namani has been snapped for the first time back in the UK after he was dumped from the ITV show's villa footage of him in a street brawl.

The 21-year-old dumped Islander was photographed making his way through Heathrow Airport alongside Anna-May Robey, who has also left the villa, and a chaperone.

Haris dressed in a white T-shirt and was seen pushing a luggage trolley with his official Love Island suitcase on and two other large black suitcases as he made his way through arrivals.

Along with the white top, he sported a pair of grey jogging bottoms along with a pair of white trainers for his trip back to the UK.

He had a downcast expression on his face as he walked through the airport – following a video emerging of him in a street brawl.

At one point, Haris was seen talking on the phone and appeared deep in conversation with the person on the other end of the line.

The former Currys PC World salesman also stopped off at an airport shop to make a purchase, where he was helped by a shop assistant.

Haris landed back on home turf with fellow dumped Islander Anna-May, 20, who wore a white hoodie and matching tracksuit bottoms.

She added a pair of grey sliders and white socks to the ensemble and had her hair styled down in waves.

The dumped Islanders were seen with a chaperone following the lengthy 11-and-a-half hour flight – and one shot shows the three laughing together as they came towards the end of their journey.

Shortly after he was pictured landing, Haris made his first social media post as he shared his official Love Island snap and thanked his supporters in the caption.

He penned: "Hi guys, I’m back! Thank you to everyone who has supported me during my time on @loveisland I honestly had the experience of a lifetime and hope to make many more" followed by a red heart emoji and the hashtag #LoveIsland.

It comes after he was dumped from the Love Island villa earlier this week following a public vote on Monday night.

Viewers were given 20 minutes to vote to save their favourite male and female Islander. The following night then revealed the results of the vote, where Haris and Anna-May were told they had to leave the villa.

Haris' exit emerged shortly after a video emerged appearing to show the ITV star in an ugly street brawl.

The clip shows Haris landing a punch on the unnamed man as they face off in the street.

In an exit interview, Haris said he was "devastated" to learn the video had been seen by the wider public.

Taking to ITV2 about the video in an exit interview, Haris 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. It’s not something that would happen again."

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 "different".

"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.

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."

But, an ex-girlfriend of Haris' accused the boxer of dumping her to join the show before he made his way into the villa.

Haris later denied the claims as he told the Mirror and other publications: "So basically [the] situation I had with Courtney is; we were seeing each other over summer.

"Then around September, start October time I said her, 'Courtney I don't think he's going to work out'.

"After a few months, I've never saw Courtney as being The One – probably having a future or even bringing her home."
