Love Island: Doncaster's Haris Namani 'devastated' by punch video as he's evicted from show

Viewers saw the 21-year-old TV salesman leave the South African villa in last night’s ITV show – just hours after footage emerged of him involved in a brawl in Doncaster city centre.

The amateur boxer told The Sun the punch-up was 'a heat of the moment thing’ and 'would never happen again.’

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.

“It’s not something that would happen again.”

Speaking of his time in the villa and cosying up with Olivia, 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."

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

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