Captivating fans of the Love Island franchise with his sense of humor, viewers were pleased to see Love Island season 5 bombshell Chris Taylor on the cast list, leaving those who are unfamiliar with him with just one burning question: Who is this hunk?
To learn about Chris and his journey on the beloved competition series his first time around, just keep scrolling…
Stemming from Leicester, England, Chris entered Love Island season 5 on day 37, taking Belle Hassan and Maura Higgins on dates, prior to coupling up with the latter. This relationship was rather short-lived, coupling up with hot new bombshell Harley Brash on day 46 instead, however, their love did not last either.
After receiving the fewest votes from the public, Chris and Harley were dumped from the villa on day 52, just a few days shy of finale night, choosing to not pursue a relationship with one another out in the real world as well.
While he might not have found love his first time around, Chris could not have been more thrilled to be a part of the inaugural season of Love Island: All Stars nonetheless, expressing his excitement in an exclusive interview, all while weaving in his signature sense of humor.
“Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me! It would be good to find a girl who I can co-parent my dog with.”
How will he find a girl who will keep his ears trimmed and co-parent his dog? Chris revealed in the same interview what he would do differently this time around, with hopes of finding his perfect match once and for all.
“I am going to try very hard to not get pied as many times as I did last time. I managed to get pied six times in 15 days, which has got to be a world record. I am going to make better decisions which will probably end up transitioning into worse decisions.”
This satirical response has almost all readers giggling, but did he happen to find “the one” in the villa regardless?
Unfortunately for Chris, he was eliminated from the beloved competition series on day 26, leaving the villa just as single as he began.
Assuming that Chris has yet to return from South Africa, his friends and family who have been running his Instagram account made a post on his behalf, poking fun as the countless number of love triangles he was a part of during Love Island: All Stars. Yikes!
“We are beyond proud of Chris and how he has stayed true to himself 🫶🏼 There have been highs and lows in the villa. From sitting like a quaver to being in more triangles than we would care to count. We hate to see him leave but we can’t wait to have him back and give him a huge hug! Let’s show some love for him and remember, kindness matters. Spread positive vibes, folks!”
Chris might be gone for good, but how will the remainder of the inaugural season of Love Island: All Stars play out? To watch stars like Georgia Steel, Georgia Harrison, Toby Aromolaran, and more look for love, UK viewers can tune into ITV2 and US viewers can tune into Peacock.
With the drama seemingly at an all-time high, the remainder of Love Island: All Stars is sure to be a 10 out of 10.
