During the latest episode, the Love Island star, 34, and his fellow celebrities came face-to-face with their past dates, with the reunions leading to simmering tensions and some hard-hitting home truths.
And there certainly was plenty of drama for Chris as one former date criticised him for shutting down hopes of a romance over her reluctance for him to have many female friends. The debate saw the woman imply to Chris that she wouldn't be comfortable if her man had female friends, while Chris argued back that he couldn't be with somebody who controlled who he was friends with, noting that it 'misaligned' with his values. And while the clash raised eyebrows at the event, viewers at home were quick to side with Chris, with many calling him 'right' for taking a stand over 'controlling' dates who tried to dictate who his pals were.
