Love Island star Chris Taylor rejected ITV’s all-stars series offer but would be up for the mature version.
The comical TV star revealed bosses “got in touch” to see if he would be interested in signing up for the upcoming show, but he was quick to tell them “no”.
Chris told us: “They sent me a message about Love Island all-stars and asked me if I wanted to be considered for it and go through the process and I said ‘No’.

“I don’t want to slander anyone that’s going to do it but I did that four years ago. I’ve moved on since then, I want to do other things I want to I want to move more towards acting if I can.

“I don’t think I’m the stereotypical type of person who would go on Love Island in the first place and I don’t think I’ve been that person since.
“It’s going to be amazing with whoever goes on it. It’s going to be drama-fuelled. I just don’t want to get into that side of it but I will be watching at home.”
However, when asked about his thoughts on the upcoming mature version of the ITV show titled ‘Your Mum, My Dad’, he said he would be more than keen to give it a go.

He laughed: “I’d go on that, I’m 33, I haven’t got any kids but I’ve got a dog so maybe I’m a ‘DILF’? I think that would be bloody hilarious.
“Yeah, get me on that. I think would be insane.”
Chris spoke exclusively to the Daily Star as he promoted Moja, which is AXA Insurance’s new digital-only led insurance platform.
The star told us it’s all about finding the nation’s happy place, which through AXA’s research found is the car.

Talking about the campaign, Chris said: “I wanted to partner with AXA on this one because it’s got a strong mental health element to it and I resonated with the campaign because it’s all about finding your happy place.
“I’ve not mentioned this anywhere before, but I’ve always struggled with anxiety quite badly.
“When I was on Love Island, I actually was meant to go into the villa like four weeks before I went in… but I was sent home to have further psych tests, which was after I was diagnosed with anxiety and on anxiety medication…
“So, I’m pro-mental health which really suits this campaign.”
