Sophie picked Chris, 33, to go on a date with her – and they really hit it off.

This evening’s episode of Love Island saw Chris tell his girl Arabella that he’s had a crush of Sophie for ages, and wants to get to know her.

The following morning Arabella was left gutted when Chris grabbed Sophie for a chat and held her hand in front of her.

Chris kicked off in a sweary rant over her comments about the situation, so Arabella later pulled him for a chat later on in the garden.

Arabella started the conversation with: “I feel like your feelings towards me, and the stuff we spoke about on our date, is not perhaps how I thought you felt if I’m honest with you.”

She added: “The reason I chose you was because I thought I could be with you on the outside. I do have feelings. That’s why I’m hurting.”

Chris replied: “I had a conversation with Sophie this morning and then everyone has been telling me you’re absolutely fuming at me for holding her hand…”

Arabella was upset because he said he wouldn’t do anything in front of her, to which he apologised for that and said he didn’t want to be in her eye line.

Chris said: “I didn’t want to hurt your feelings,” as Arabella wiped away her tears.

Arabella said: “I feel the fact that I have opened up to you and you’ve literally thrown that back in my face.”

Chris clapped back: “I haven’t called you disingenuous though babe.”

“Yeah because I have not been! Two guys have walked in here and I haven’t looked twice,” she said back.

Chris sternly said back: “Because you don’t fancy them.”

He added: “You can’t give me one reason and change them now.”

As Arabella tried to explain herself, Chris jumped in and said: “Because it’s not suiting you and the situation is not working for you.”

The model asked: “Why are you being patronising?”

Arabella later discussed what happened with the girls on the terrace.

The model started crying as she explained: ” I just feel like this always happens to me.

“I had the sh**est luck last year and I’ve come in here and I finally meet someone and I coupled up with Chris because I saw something with him.

“I could have coupled up with anyone else!”

Many took to X to share their thoughts on what had happened – and didn’t like Chris’ attitude.

One said: “I don’t particularly like arabella, but that tone Chris had was all too familiar to me. I loved him before this, but something about him now gives me potential gaslighter vibes.”

“Chris is giving gaslighter,” a second chimed in.

A third wrote: “woooow I didn’t know Chris had this attitude in him, scaryyy.”

A fourth tweeted: “Who does Chris think he is.”

Others rushed to defend him.

One wrote: “Chris had every right to get to know Sophie but it’s clear that his desire to spend time with Arabella was not the same as before or even equal to his desire to get to know Sophie.”

“I don’t think Arabella can be mad at Chris for being honest that he wants to get to know Sophie. Cause he told her right away and it’s not like they’re closed off,” another said.
