Chris Taylor has certainly ridden the wave of stardom since entering the Love Island villa five summers ago. Prior to breaking big in the reality TV world alongside the likes of Maura Higgins, Curtis Pritchard, Amy Hart, Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury that year, Taylor, 34, plied his trade as a business development manager. After just two weeks on the dating show, Taylor and his ex-partner Harley Brash were dumped, but several months later they took part in the ITV gameshow Supermarket Sweep's Love Island edition.
Next came episodes of Celebrity Dinner Date and Hey Tracey! before MTV signed him up to appear in a series titled Living the Dream, which featured Taylor and Love Island co-stars Michael Griffiths, Danny Williams and Jordan Hames moving in together. Meanwhile, a chance meeting with Hollywood's rising icon Margot Robbie at the afterparty for her superhero blockbuster Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) zapped Taylor into dream land. Speaking to Capital Breakfast presenter Roman Kemp , he recounted: "I went outside for a breath of fresh air and then Margot comes out.
In my head I'm like, 'What do you say to Margot Robbie?' How do you have a normal conversation with somebody that famous? "So I decided in my infinite wisdom to tell her about my friend who has a micropenis. It's better than, 'How are you? How's acting and that?'". This bizarre interaction clearly made an impression on the Australian actress, who would go on to mention Tay.
