"Harry is your best mate, is it actually worth potentially losing a friend over this?"
Junaid explained: "Right now, obviously they are together.
"They're on a break and I'm never going to be that person that gets involved in a relationship when they're still not whatever they are."
The Sun revealed earlier this month how Harry Derbidge's ex Joe had moved on with co-star Junaid just two weeks after splitting.
TV favourite Junaid, 30, has now admitted that his romantic life is progressing in the right direction, despite the controversy.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Junaid said: "I'm the happiest I've ever been, it will pan out on the show.
"I knew Harry and Joe's relationship was on the rocks prior to coming to Cyprus and being in Cyprus everyone saw it.
"On both parts it didn't work out, I get that it's sad 100 per cent and I wish them both well."
Reality star Junaid teased there will be some fiery rows between himself and Harry.
"Me and Harry have a very open and honest conversation, as you can imagine that pans out.
"Me and Joe has some very honest and open conversations about us and where do we go and what does happen.
"There is so much emotion and heartfelt moments in this show, it's hard because I genuinely feel like this is the happiest series I've had.
"I've lost a lot this series but it's also made me the happiest person I am."
Despite claims that the Junaid and Joe got together just two weeks Joe's breakup, Junaid admitted he has no regrets.
He went on: "I don't live my life on regrets, I'm a massive believer that everything happens for a reason and what's meant will be will be."
