Chris Hughes became a household name when he was on Love Island, where he met now-ex Olivia Attwood. Here’s what went down during his time on the TV show.

Chris Hughes has become a horse racing pundit on ITV in recent years, but he first appeared on TV when he took part in Love Island, alongside the likes of Kem Cetinay, Amber Davies, Montana Brown and Gabby Allen, who recently won Love Island: All Stars with Casey O’Gorman.

The most-recent of his reality TV endeavours, Celebrity Big Brother, may be worlds away from the luxurious villa that first made him famous but Chris remains a well known name ever since starring on the ITV2 dating show.

But when was Chris first on Love Island, how old was he, and what happened between him and girlfriend Olivia Attwood after they met on the show?

Here’s everything you need to know about Chris’ time on Love Island.

Chris was on season three of Love Island in 2017, the same series that exes Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies won. Camilla Thurlow, Marcel Somerville, Jonny Mitchell, Georgia Harrison and Jessica Shears – who’s still with Love Island beau Dom Lever – also starred.

At the time, Chris was 24 years old – he’s now 32.

Before the show, Chris was working as a model but later turned to presenting horse racing, following his long-time link with the sport after growing up in the countryside. He also trained to be a jockey.
