Chris Taylor, 33, could appear on our screens in just over a week after it was revealed the star has signed up to join the line-up.

He previously entered the villa as a bombshell in its fifth season, where he reunited with fellow cast member Harley Brash.

The pair remained a couple during the show but eventually went their separate ways.

After the show, he started dating Maura Higgins and the pair broke up after six months.

Although they appeared in the same season, they developed a strong friendship and did not embark on a romantic relationship during their time on screen.

After the show, Chris’s career boomed, and he became very popular on TikTok and other social media platforms.

He met Margot Robbie at the film’s premiere.

I was instantly impressed by the star due to her penchant for Love Island.

Chris was later contacted and asked to join the cast of the final Barbie film, which he agreed to.

He landed the role of one of many Kens, sharing the screen with talents like Ncuti Gatwa, Simu Liu and Ryan Gosling.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Chris is a great signing for the new series.

“His personality has really shined since he found fame on Love Island, whereas when he was on the soap as a late addition, he didn’t have enough opportunity to show viewers what he’s really about.

“He’s now a star in his own right on TikTok and Instagram, not to mention his role in Barbie and being friends with Margot Robbie.

“Chris is hoping he can find a girlfriend. He met his last girlfriend on the show, so there’s nothing stopping him from doing the same during All Stars.”
