The depressing truth about Love Island Australia: Charlie Taylor reveals the entire cast is ‘TOXIC’ as British viewers watch the 2018 season for the first time
Charlie Taylor was the first person to be kicked off the 2018 season of Love Island Australia, which is currently airing in Britain on ITV2.
And on Wednesday, the 26-year-old revealed he was no longer on speaking terms with many of his former co-stars.
He told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I’m very picky about who I choose to be friends with.’

‘I feel after the show it really showed a lot of contestants’ true colours. A few extra [Instagram] followers got to a lot of their heads and changed them,’ he added.
While Charlie still counts ‘three or four’ islanders as friends, he said the ‘rest were toxic and not genuine people’.
Charlie was dumped after seven days in the Fijian villa, where he appeared alongside the likes of Grant Crapp, Eden Dally, Teddy Briggs, Jaxon Human and Shelby Mills.

Since leaving the series in 2018, the former rugby player has been making the most of his newfound fame.
He is based in Bali, Indonesia, and earning a living as a social media influencer.
When asked if he’d caught up with the cast recently, Charlie said: ‘I saw Josh Moss and Amelia [Marni] in Bali about five months back passing by on a scooter.’

He has also struck up a friendship with Elias Chigros.
‘Elias is a cool and genuine guy. We hang out whenever we’re in the same city, but it hasn’t been for a while,’ he said.
After being dumped from Love Island two years ago, Charlie told Nova FM’s Fitzy & Wippa that the villa’s female occupants only wanted to date ‘d**kheads’.
He said: ‘That was the major reason why I wasn’t sort of attracted [to] or had any connection with any of the girls’.
The first season of Love Island Australia is currently being broadcast on ITV2 after the British series was suspended due to coronavirus.
