Toby is swapping the football pitch for the villa.
Things have taken a 360 turn for Love Island‘s Toby Aromolaran in the past 24 hours. During the last recoupling, he decided to couple up with new girl Abigail, putting his former partner Chloe at risk.
But it wasn’t last he’d see of Chloe as fellow islander Hugo slid in at the last minute and decided to save her, saying she didn’t “deserve” to be treated how she had in the past day.
This definitely didn’t sit well with Tobes, as he complained to his pals about what Hugo had done.
So, what’s going to happen with Toby and Chloe now?
The pair will have to face each other in the villa, but 75 per cent of Love Island fans think Chloe should move on from Toby with a new man following the recoupling.
Sounds like things could get very awkward!
As he continues his journey, here’s everything you need to know about Toby Aromolaran – one of the Love Island 2021 contestants.

Why did Toby sign up for Love Island?
“I’ve never been in a relationship. I thought, ‘If Love Island can’t find me a relationship then no one can’,” Toby said ahead of his Love Island debut.
As for what the girls will make of his lack of relationship experience, Toby wasn’t worried.
“Surely it’s like a learning curve, I’m just learning on the job!” he laughed, adding that having sex on the show is at the back of his mind. “First, I’m just focused on getting a girl. Before thinking about what happens next.”
What does Toby do for work?
If you have never heard of Essex-based semi-pro club Hashtag United, you should probably look them up, as playing for them is a job that Toby loves.
“I’ve played football since I was about six, but it’s really come into a new light for the past year since I joined a team called Hashtag United. They’re very social media focused. Everything is on YouTube, Instagram and Twitter. Playing with them has really made me fall in love with the game again,” he revealed.
And being a footballer has given Toby a competitive edge.
“Personally, I’m a winner. I play football, which is a competitive sport. It’s not just a game. It’s for the position and the team. I’ve been competing my whole life. I’m a winner, I don’t like losing. I’m not a sore loser but I like to win,”he said.
Will he get back on the pitch after a summer in the spotlight? “In my head at the moment, I want to go back to football – I’m missing it already,” he said. “But I’m also open to anything that could possibly come.”
What did his family and teammates think about him starring on the show?
Toby said his place on the show was only confirmed at the last minute, and his family and friends rallied round to help him prepare.
“My family and friends are so supportive,” he said. “The moment I told them, everyone was just rushing just to help me out before I flew off, because I’ve been told very late.”
For the short period of time that the 22-year-old knew that he was going on the show before flying out to Spain, he had to keep his news a secret from his teammates.
“It was kind of funny,” he said. “Like my teammates will be talking about ‘Oh Love Island’s coming on soon’, and I was just there looking at them like ‘Yeah Love Island’s coming soon!’”
“I can’t imagine what they’re saying now,” he added. “I would love to be a fly on the wall.”
What is Toby looking for in a partner?
“Looks-wise, I’m a sucker for a cute face. Nice feet. That’s a dealbreaker for me. I don’t have a foot fetish but I appreciate nice feet! I think you can judge someone by their feet. Girls who walk around at the club with no shoes on, that’s one of my hates,” he said.
