Love Island star Chris Taylor has stirred up controversy after reigniting his feud with Arabella Chi from their time in the villa, leading some to brand him “a walking red flag.”

The 33-year-old reality TV personality, known from the show’s fifth series, returned for the All Stars edition earlier this year. During his stint, he was involved with several girls, including Arabella, Demi Jones, and Joanna Chimonides.

His relationship with model Arabella seemed promising, even leading to a romantic date. However, things soured when Chris showed interest in Sophie Piper, leading to a heated argument with Arabella.

Reflecting on the argument on Toby Aromolaran’s Fancy A Chat podcast, Chris admitted discomfort with raised voices but stood by his response, stating, “I can’t look over there because literally the entire cast of All Stars is starring at me right now on the sun deck.”

Fans took to Reddit to express their disappointment, with one calling Chris “a walking red flag” and another condemning his treatment of Arabella.

The conflict arose when Arabella witnessed Chris holding hands with Sophie after assuring Arabella that he wouldn’t engage in physical affection until clarifying his feelings. Their discussion escalated into a heated exchange, with Arabella feeling hurt by Chris’s actions.

Viewers criticized Chris’s handling of the situation, particularly his perceived condescension towards Arabella. One user mocked his remarks, saying, “‘Can we dial it down a bit please’ shut the f**k up please mr wotsit sweater vest.”

Chris’s behavior during the argument, including phrases like “dial it down a bit” and “please don’t raise your voice,” drew further ire from viewers, who found it patronizing and disrespectful.
