Now that Chris is back for another go at love in Love Island All Stars let's remind you of his time on season 5.

Who was Chris Taylor with on Love Island?
Here's the lowdown on his villa journey…
Chris entered the villa in 2019 as a late arrival alongside Francesca Allen, but he quickly won the hearts of the nation as he paraded around in patterned silk robes with his hair in a towel.
He coupled up with Harley Brash for a few weeks before they were booted from the villa, but that relationship only lasted a short period before they split as they “didn’t have enough quality time for each other.”
Before Harley, he coupled up with Maura as friends when her hopes to pair up with Curtis were dashed by Francesca.
Maura was planning to make her move on Curtis after the Irish beauty dumped Casa Amor contestant Marvin Brooks.
Back on season 5 he also had a brief closeness with Francesca at the start of his villa journey, a bond which had viewers begging for them to get together.
Now, in All Stars Chris had been getting cosy with Arabella Chi but after she saw him getting close to new arrival Sophie Piper things between the pair turned sour.
