Love Island: All Stars' Chris Taylor's family speak out after emotional scenes
Joanna Chimonides was in tears following the latest challenge
Last updated 9th Feb 2024
Chris Taylor's family have taken to social media to speak about emotional scenes in the Love Island: All Stars villa, as his connection with Joanna Chimonides came under fire.
During Thursday's (8th February) episode, the Islanders were forced to reveal what they really think of each other during the All Stars Couple Goals game. Things took an emotional turn after the majority of the couples voted Joanna and Chris as having the least chemistry and being the most one-sided.
Joanna broke down in tears as the Islanders cast their votes. Defending her and Chris' connection, she said: "There's nothing really else to say. The fact I'm exploring something else doesn't mean that we didn't have sexual chemistry, that we didn't have anything like that."
Meanwhile, Chris said: "We're allowed a bit of time to think about how we feel about things."
As fans will know, this comes after Joanna told Chris that she wanted to get to know Callum Jones and thought that they should 'take a step back romantically'. Joanna also raised concerns about Chris' 'big jokey personality' as she questioned if they were suited for one another.
Following these scenes, Chris' loved ones - who are thought to be running his social media whilst he is in the villa - reacted on Instagram and wrote: 'A tough one to watch for our Chris, especially as his family and friends know he has so much to give.
'His humour is just another wonderful part of him that we love. Hopefully someone will realise that it's just him as a person and another reason to love him.'
Towards the end of Thursday's episode, presenter Maya Jama entered the villa and asked the couples who had been voted the least compatible by their fellow Islanders to gather around the firepit. Ahead of tonight's show, Chris' family urged people to 'be kind', as they wrote: 'Whatever the vote tonight: people need to remember that this is a show, we see snippets of what is going on and people need to think first before they comment and be kind.'
