LOVE Island All Stars viewers are skeptical about Chris Taylor's sudden rise to the 'most popular' male in the villa.

Viewers already think they have worked out why the floppy-haired hunk has caught the eye of so many of the new female islanders.

Our podcast reveals some Islanders are FUMING after the launch show coupling

When told to line up next to the person they fancied most, three girls made an immediate beeline for Chris.

Series 1 original Hannah Elizabeth stood next to him, along with series 3 babe Georgia Harrison and series 7's Kaz Kamwi.

But fans think they know why so many chose him.

Last year, Chris landed a role as a Ken in the blockbuster movie Barbie.

He believes he bagged the role after sweet-talking Barbie's leading lady and co-producer, Hollywood star Margot Robbie, at an event.

And fans are certain this is why he was so popular within minutes of arriving in the All Stars villa.

One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: "They saw them Barbie coins and thought… future husband material."

Another added: "They love Chris cause he was in Barbie."

And a third chimed in: "Barbie star Chris is already proving to be popular amongst the girls."

Chris originally tried his best to find love in the villa five years ago.

The former business development manager coupled up with Maura Higgins but later paired with Harley Brash.

They gave it their best go when they returned to the UK, but Chris and Harley were the first couple to split from their season.

Last year, Chris walked the red carpet in London's Leicester Square for the premiere of the Barbie movie.

He was snapped with the cast - alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling - and has since claimed Margot will be watching him in the villa.

When asked if she will be tuning in, Chris told The Sun: "I hope so and I think she will.

"She really likes the show and I suppose this is All Stars, isn't it?

"There's going to be various people that she's enjoyed watching over the seasons that she might enjoy watching again. It's an amalgamation of her time as a fan."
