Love Island’s Chris Taylor on why Maura Higgins romance taught him ‘sad reality

Love Island viewers were left bowled over by Mitchel Taylor's, 27, comments during tonight's instalment of the ITV2 show, as he revealed the brutal truth of his feelings about Liberty Poole, 24, only minutes after recoupling with her. Following the drama of Thursday night's episode, which saw Arabella Chi, 32, and Chris Taylor, 33, enter into an almighty row that ended their budding connection, it was straight into the next decision. With all the islanders gathered round the fire pit, one by one they had to choose who to couple up, but when Mitch stood up to decide, he couldn't think what to say.

Love Island viewers are convinced they've figured out Arabella Chi's strategy after she become overly emotional about Chris Taylor's sudden interest in new bombshell Sophie Piper.

Love Island fans are fuming over contestant Chris Taylor's "annoying and immature" habit. The 33 year old star is back in the South African villa in the All Stars series, as previous contestants return once again on the look out for love. But Chris, who has previously found romance with Maura Higgins, can't seem to help saying the word "rizz" – using phrases like "forbidden rizz", "daytime rizz" and "playground rizz" – leaving unimpressed viewers begging him to stop using it.

In a first look at Thursday's episode of Love Island All Stars, awkwardness arises between Chris Taylor and Arabella Chi, who were seemingly going strong, after he admits his crush on new bombshell Sophie.

But tension soon grows when the next day Chris pulls Sophie for a chat and the two hold hands as they walk past Arabella.
