Love Island legend signs up for Celebs Go Dating after failing to find romance in All Stars villa
A LOVE Island All Star is turning to a new dating show in a bid to find love – after failing twice on the ITV2 hit.
This cheeky chappy has proven to be a fan favourite during his appearance on the show, but despite his efforts hasn’t been able to couple up for very long.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that tattooed hunk Chris Taylor has now turned his hopes to Channel 4’s Celebs Go Dating in hopes of more luck.
A source told us: “E4 bosses have been in talks with Chris as they’re really keen to sign him on the dotted line.
“He’d be a huge get for them as, beyond Love Island, he’s got a huge TikTok following and also been in the Barbie movie, which got loads of people talking.”
“Chris is keen too as he was really hoping to find a meaningful connection in the Love Island villa, but failed both times,” they added.
“He thinks it’s worth a punt on another dating show – maybe this will be his third time lucky!”
The Sun has approached a show spokesperson for comment.
Chris, whose last known relationship was Maura Higgins back in 2021, has become close friends with many of the female Love Islanders.
During his time on Love Island All Stars, he was seen sparking a romance with Arabella Chi, but it soon fizzled out.
But despite being cuddly and even teasing romances with stars including Kaz Kamwi, Georgia Harrison and Hannah Elizabeth, he’s not actually dated any of them.
Instead he’s turned his attention to sketches and skits on TikTok, often roping in his Love Island besties including Toby Aromolaran, Kaz and Georgia.
He also managed to land a cameo in the billion-dollar Barbie movie, though it took him 57 takes for his three-second moment in the spotlight.
By going on Celebs Go Dating, he’ll be following in the footsteps of other stars who have flipped from the ITV villa for the E4 agency.
Olivia Attwood, Eyal Booker, Jack Fowler, Megan Barton Hanson, Jack Fincham, Amy Hart and Shaughna Phillips are among the islanders who were later recruited for CGD.
