LOVE Island star Chris Taylor has been branded ‘a walking red flag’ after reigniting his villa feud with Arabella Chi.

The 33-year-old, who shot to fame on the fifth series of the ITV2 dating show, appeared on All Stars earlier this year.

Chris coupled up with a number of girls during his stint in the villa, including Demi Jones, Arabella Chi and Joanna Chimonides.

The tatted hunk seemed to be going from strength to strength with model Arabella, and they even enjoyed a romantic date together.

However things took a bad turn when Chris took an interest in Sophie Piper and viewers later demanded that producers kick him out after he rowed with Arabella about it.

Speaking about his argument with Arabella in the villa, Chris said on Toby Aromolaran's Fancy A Chat podcast: "I don't know I don't like being shouted at...."

He then corrected himself and continued saying: "She wasn't shouting really, she was raising her voice and whatever.

"But I thought how are we going to resolve this if we are shouting at each other?

"So I just tried to keep it as calm as can be."

Toby mentioned that he thought that it flicked between an argument and a discussion.

Chris said: "You lot were all stood there staring at me watching it

"I was like I can't look over there because literally the entire cast of All Stars is starring at me right now on the sun deck.

"It was one of them where she was frustrated about the situation, I felt like I had hit a boundary, she hit a boundary that I didn't want hitting , so for me I was like kind of cut throat with stuff like that because I'm 33.

"I know what I will and won't accept and not hear, absolutely not invalidating what she's saying, she had a point and I apologised about the hand holding thing."

Love Island fans took to Reddit to share their thoughts.

One said: "He is a walking red flag I can't believe he was one of my favourite islanders before all star."

Another chimed in: " I really couldn’t stand him after the way he treated Arabella."

Arabella was furious when she saw Chris holding hands with Sophie in front of her.

His actions came after telling her that he wouldn't show any physical affection to the women in the villa until he knew what he wanted.

Chris and Arabella then had a discussion about it on the bean bags in the garden.

Fans slammed Chris after their blazing row.

Arabella started the conversation with: "I feel like your feelings towards me, and the stuff we spoke about on our date, is not perhaps how I thought you felt if I'm honest with you."

She added: "The reason I chose you was because I thought I could be with you on the outside. I do have feelings. That's why I'm hurting."

Chris replied: "I had a conversation with Sophie this morning and then everyone has been telling me you're absolutely fuming at me for holding her hand..."

Chris said: "I didn't want to hurt your feelings," as Arabella wiped away her tears.

Arabella said: "I feel the fact that I have opened up to you and you've literally thrown that back in my face."

Chris clapped back: "I haven't called you disingenuous though babe."

"Yeah because I have not been! Two guys have walked in here and I haven't looked twice," she said back.

Chris sternly said back: "Because you don't fancy them."

He added: "You can't give me one reason and change them now."

As Arabella tried to explain herself, Chris jumped in and said: "Because it's not suiting you and the situation is not working for you."

The model asked: "Why are you being patronising?"

Some viewers felt like Chris was being condescending after saying things like, "dial it down a bit" and "please don't raise your voice, I'm not going to keep talking to you."

One user wrote on X: "'Can we dial it down a bit please' shut the f**k up please mr wotsit sweater vest."

Another added: "Did Chris just tell Arabella to dial it down."

A third penned: "Can you dial it down a bit please?” Oh I would LOSE IT."
