Toby Aromolaran has revealed how he would really feel if his ex-girlfriend, Chloe Burrows, was to return to the villa for Love Island All Stars.
The semi-professional footballer, 24, and Chloe, 27, were together for over a year following their blossoming romance in the villa.
After moving in together, going on worldwide adventures and a rumoured marriage proposal, the duo called it quits and broke up.
As Toby prepares to take another chance at love in South Africa, he revealed to MailOnline that he would ‘never say never’ when it comes to Chloe.
He told MailOnline: ‘I always never say never. I will never say never because I never know how my life goes or how everything goes, but I don’t think so. I feel like if it was going to happen, it would have happened.

‘But, yeah, and the way the way it ended was not the ideal scenario. So I like it’s one of those ones where it it doesn’t get recovered.’
When asked if it be awful for him to see her with someone else, Toby said: ‘Oh, maybe. Vice versa as well. So I don’t know. Probably, yeah, it probably would be hard.
‘It is one of those ones, my ex, so eventually, you’re going to have to get over them. You know what I mean? It’s my first ex getting over, butyeah, eventually, you’re going to have to move on.’
While he may never say never, Toby revealed that if she was to appear as a bombshell or cameo, he would find it a tad awkward but would happily laugh it off as he ‘will always have love for the girl’.
‘I think it’d be funny, because I feel like when I get in awkward situations I lean into them and I find them quite funny instead of being very, awkward or so’, he said.
‘So I think that that would be the same in that scenario. And I always have love for the girl, and I’m sure she has love for me as well. We had a great thing in our relationship.’
Thinking of possible entrees this year, Toby revealed that if any Love Islander were to return, then he would like to see Jourdan from season five.
But Toby doesn’t seem to be drawing the line with anyone as he admitted that if they ‘developed a speed’, then he would even consider his close friend, Faye Winter.

When Toby was previously in the villa, the sportsman found it difficult to control his wandering eye and has been criticised in the past for his immature reactions
The duo have been at the centre of romance rumours after the two started to look cosy on TikToks.
When asked if he would give the romance a go, he told MailOnline: ‘That is my bestie, Faye. I love Faye, love her to pieces, she loves me to pieces. On a romantic level I don’t think so, but the Love Island villa is crazy.
‘You could be with someone one day, and that person could be a friend, and then four weeks down the line you could be in the final with that person and be in a relationship of a week-long. Or so really and truly you can never say never.
‘But in the villa scenario, you can you really get to pull back all the layers and you get to develop in a speed that you never would on the outside without all the distractions, so I’d never say never.’
When Toby was previously in the villa, the sportsman found it difficult to control his wandering eye and used the excuse that he had never been in a relationship when his controversial behaviours were called out on the show.
He originally coupled up with co-star Kaz Kamwi but quickly had his head turned as he showed interest in Chloe – sneaking a kiss from the blonde beauty on the terrace as they began a romance.
The pair went through a rocky relationship during the show, with Toby’s head being turned by both Abigail Rawlings and Mary Bedford.
He even returned from Casa Amor with Mary.
But eventually, they found their way back to each other, winning over the nation’s hearts as they made it to the final.
While Toby may have been season seven’s messy boy, he now believes his relationship with Chloe has allowed him to mature
While Toby may have been season seven’s messy boy, he now believes his relationship with Chloe has allowed him to mature.
He explained: ‘So I feel like now, since then, I have defo… I like to say I’ve matured more, but who knows? But I feel relationship-wise I have got a lot more experience. Well, way more experience than last time, because I went in there with nothing.
‘But now I have a year under my belt, so I’ve got a little bit of experience, but really and truly who really has the perfect scenario in the way they deal with relationships?
‘So, I don’t wanna say I’m an experienced guru in love and relationships because I’m not, so I’m back on the show. Always learning, not perfect. So I’m just going try my best to find a girlfriend.’
To compliment his newfound maturity, Toby revealed he is typically more attracted to older women and is ready to embrace his attraction during his time in South Africa.
He said: ‘I’m 24 now, so I feel like it’s in a weird way, I’m more drawn to older women. I think, you know, I feel like my ex is older than me, and I feel like everyone that I’ve really dealt with this time more on the older side than me, than younger.
‘So I feel like it’s just one of those ones that you just embrace. If they’re the right person then they are the right person, which is exciting.’

How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I’m going to be focused on my own journey.
Kaz Kamwi

I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.

Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Demi Jones
AGE: 25
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since? It will be interesting to see if old flames get reignited. Naturally with Love Island paths are very much crossed and believe me, I have some paths!
Hannah Elizabeth
AGE: 33
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Jake Cornish
AGE: 26
SERIES: 7
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.
What will you do differently this time round? When it comes to people’s opinions, I don’t sit on the fence anymore. That is my way of life now, so I will take that into the Villa.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!
How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers asking do you want to try out for this role as Ken – it was a tumble dryer of emotions.
Luis Morrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa? It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Mitchel Taylor
AGE: 27
SERIES: 10
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.
In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own, can we expect more of the same in the series? I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being ‘Messy Mitch’. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for. If I don’t agree with something, I’m not going to hold it back.
