CHRIS Taylor has revealed Love Island bosses were to blame for some of the villa’s most awkward moments.
The All Stars contestant has given away a secret from behind the scenes after returning from the South Africa villa.
He says producers intervene during the recoupling speeches – and were the cause of Joanna getting the “ick” with Chris.
“I gave this speech that I thought out and it was like the Harry Met Sally speech but I made it about Joanna,” Chris told Heat’s Under The Duvet.
“I did that, said the whole thing, but then what they do over the tannoy that annoys everyone is you’ll say your speech then it will go deathly silent and you hear them say ‘elaborate’.
“Then you have to come up with it off the top of your head.
“When I get panicky I get sarcastic. I was talking about levitating around the villa….”
Joanna broke down in tears after Chris’s speech – admitting he had given her the “ick”.
She became tearful as she admitted sarcastic Chris, 33, “is grating on me”.
Joanna said at the time: “I just feel like I don’t know what to think about me and Chris…
“He’s got such a big jokey personality but sometimes I’m like, what’s the real you?
“And the speech…as much as he thought through the speech it was sarcastic and a showman personality…”
Joanna continued: “He placed his hand over my leg like and didn’t touch it, like why? It’s not sexy. He walks past me and sticks his bum out.”
Chris was sent home a day after Joanna and Joe Garratt were dumped by their fellow Islanders.
