Love Island’s Haris Namani had a rather short stay in the Villa; before he got to know any of the other hopefuls, he was evicted off the show as old footage showed him involved in a street fight. Haris, who had expected to find his soulmate, was webbed in a heated argument with Shaq Muhammad after a shared kiss between David and Tanya.
Shaq accused Haris of “shit stirring,” and the short-tempered TV salesman challenged him to what would have been a brawl. Following this tense argument, a video of Love Island’s Haris Namani embroiled in a street fight with another surfaced on Snapchat.
The video recorded in his hometown, Doncaster, South Yorks last year, showed him hitting an opponent on the street. After the victim gave in to defeat, wobbling following the first blow, Love Island’s Haris continuously shouted, “I’m not a bully.”
This appears to have bothered the network as the ITV2 show has recently intensified its vetting procedures, including medical records and mental health—after the alarming suicide of former contestants. Love Island’s Haris agreed to have his social media examined like the other contestants, But did the producers contemplate punishing him by cutting short his stay in the house?

Love Island’s Haris Namani Evicted from Villa
Many believed that the snap chat video moved the show’s producers to react. But according to a spokesperson, Love Island’s Haris being dumped from the villa was a scheme all along. This happened after a public vote, but it coincided with the release of the video. The insider further commented:
“We would never comment on dumpings or show formats to avoid ruining the show for the viewers.”
Earlier on, a rep from the network emphasized that background checks are run and that contestants are left with video training that instructs them on how best to behave. Close friends of Love Island’s Haris Namani have opened up about their surprise when they realized he was heading to the house.
One of his pals mentioned that he is a trained boxer with a short fuse temper, adding that such temperament was meant for a boxing ring. The 21-year-old has also proven his passion for boxing. Via his social media page, he shares training clips of himself at Steel City Gym.
