Things are beginning to heat up in the Love Island: All Stars villa, with a new teaser showing Chris Taylor making his move on bombshell Molly Smith, as her ex-boyfriend Callum Jones watches on. A preview of Wednesday's (17 January) episode shows Chris and Molly enjoying a chat on the daybeds, before he then offers her a massage.
He says: "This is getting slightly sexual," as Molly responds: “I’m not gonna lie, this is pretty sensational and I don’t usually throw that word around.” Callum, who was in a relationship with Molly for three years, watches on from the other side of the garden, alongside Georgia Harrison. Georgia asks Callum how he feels about Chris and Molly getting close, noting that he must be feeling uncomfortable with the current situation.
Callum admits: “It’s a bit weird innit…," and Georgia jokingly adds: "Don't have Chris with his cheesy fingers all over your bird. Like, are you having a laugh?” After the Islanders get glammed up for a night in the villa, Callum takes the opportunity to speak to his ex Molly, and it seems the pair may now shed some light on the reason behind the break up.
Callum tells Molly: “You look beautiful tonight." However, the model isn't impressed with his compliments. Molly responds: “This is the most compliments I’ve ever had by the way..It’s took three and half years of me saying I just need a few little words of affirmation…you’ve been practising for the last six months on some random girls.” She is later approached again by Chris, who decides to take her to the terrace for an intimate chat and jokes about "falling in love", but it remains to be seen if his efforts are reciprocated.
