Love Island UK Season 12, Episode 51: Helena's emotional reunion with her parents

The latest Love Island UK Season 12 episode featured an emotional reunion between Helena and her parents. She got emotional while reflecting on her time with Harry and the most recent recoupling.

Helena's mom stated,

"You've been so bloody good, I tell you. You're amazing."

After they went to sit and chat, her dad asked how long Helena had been in the villa. She said seven weeks. She confessed that it had been a bit of a rough week for her.

Listening to Helena, her mom said, she had come out stronger. Helena then enquired,

"Did you watch the recoupling?"

Her parents responded with yes. While her dad said he thought she was going to go back with Harry. Listening to him, Helena got emotional as she couldn't hold back her tears. Her dad asked her about it. She confessed that the connection from her side was "genuine" and "real".

Love Island UK star couldn't stop her tears. Helena's mother comforted and told her that she was the winner. Helena replied,

"He's not the prize."

Listening to her answer, all three of them laughed, and her mom added that he was "definitely not" the prize.

Her dad asked how "exclusive" Harry was. He also asked if Helena was going to meet Harry outside the villa after the show. Love Island UK star talked about the bond between her, Dejon, Meg, and Harry was unbreakable. She shared how the four have been close.

As her father mentioned how she "looked like" being a couple in her relationship, Helena responded:

"I wanted to be with him, and this is the thing, I gave it my all, and the only thing I could have done in here was be real, and that's all I've done. I've worn my heart completely, I've never worn my d*ck on my sleeve, but I've worn my heart on my sleeve. And I've just gone for what I wanted, because he was the only person I wanted in here."

She talked about giving Harry another chance, which she did. However, he then "f*cked up" and that was it. That was the reason why Helena didn't want to be with Harry anymore.

Helena also recalled the recent recoupling ceremony. She also noted that she had learned a lot about herself as well.
