HARRIETT Blackmore ditched Ronnie Vint for best friend Saffron Barker on her first night back after Love Island – and suffered a nasty injury at a celeb event.
Harriett was back in the UK for just “minutes” before chaos struck at a star-studded event in London.

The Love Island star made her first public appearance since leaving the villa, stepping out with best friend Saffron instead of villa flame Ronnie.
Harriett and Saffron, both dressed to impress, were spotted leaving the Oh Polly London Fashion Week Show.
The event was packed with Love Island alumni, including Jess Spencer, Ella Thomas, and recently dumped All Stars bombshells Tina Stinnes and Danielle Sellers.
But the night took an unexpected turn when Harriett suffered a painful injury at the event.
Despite the injury, Harriett still managed to steal the spotlight in a glamorous outfit featuring a fur-trimmed shawl and studded nude heels – the very shoes that may have been responsible for her mishap.
In a backstage snap she was seen surrounded by Love Island pals including Jess White and Matilda Draper as they tended to her foot with a makeshift ice pack wrapped in a towel.
Jess held a bloodied tissue in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, looking shocked.
She posted the photo on social media and wrote over the top: “She’s been home 5 minutes, guys!”
Eslewhere, legendary Love Islander Maura Higgins attended the event after her recent heartbreak.
The stunning reality star, 34, stepped out on Wednesday night in a white backless dress.
Posing up a storm at the event, Maura smized for the camera while smiling sweetly.
It comes after The Sun revealed that following her split from Pete Wicks, Maura had a profile on dating app Raya.
Raya is a very exclusive dating app, which is notoriously hard to join.
A friend explained this week: “Maura’s had a really tough time after everything with Pete.
BACK HOME
Harriett and Ronnie, 28, have now returned to the UK after their time in the South African villa – with Harriett being treated to a welcome home party.
Their last day in the villa was full of drama after axed Islanders returned to dump one couple.
Liv Hawkins suggested Harriett and Ronnie – who split weeks after leaving the villa last year – wouldn’t work given their history.
And during Monday night’s finale Harriett made her feelings towards Liv very clear.
Amy Hart said to Harriett in the Love Island live stream on TikTok before the final aired: “You’re a girls’ girl.
“Who are you looking forward to going on a girls’ night out with?”
Ronnie jumped in and quickly said: “Not Liv!”
Harriett agreed: “Not Liv.
