He managed to survive the first re-coupling of the show, despite his late arrival. 

But Chris Hughes has landed himself in hot water, after being accused of making a move on Amber Davies. 

He is currently paired with blonde beauty Chloe Crowhurst and despite their initial chemistry, she is left feeling 'mugged off' when Chris confesses he is 'waiting for a brunette' to arrive at the villa.

In hot water: Love Island's Chris Hughes comes under fire as he's accused of making a move on Amber Davies, despite being coupled up with Chloe Crowhurst

The Love Island star causes a stir on Sunday night's episode of the show, after Amber relays a conversation she had with the newcomer moments after the show's two new female contestants arrived. 

Admitting the new girls had underwhelmed him, Chris told her: 'I'm just waiting for a powerful brunette. I need a worldie like, you know what I mean?'

Amber - who has been dubbed a lookalike for series two star Kady McDermott - remarked: 'Am I your type because I'm brunette?' 

Chris had responded: 'You are a stunning girl.' 

Stirring the pot: Amber claimed Chris had been 'staring deeply' into her eyes while admitting he had been left underwhelmed by the new girls and was waiting for a 'powerful brunette'

Oops: Word gets back to his current flame (blonde) Chloe who brands his comments as 'muggy'

Although, he may later come to regret his chosen words as Amber wastes no time in relaying them back to her beau of the villa Kem Cetinay. 

Slightly sensationalising the duo's conversation, Amber says: 'So I was going to tell you, basically last night I went up to him and said, "You’ve done so well, well done, you’ve earned it."

'And he looked at me and he went, "You know what I’m saying, I’m here." He was looking so deep into my eyes.'

Not surprisingly, Kem isn't happy to hear that Chris has taken a shining to his girl and is all too quick to confront his pal over his so called comments. 

Awkward: Chris and Amber dispute over the conversation they both had, with the Gloucestershire lad strenuously denying he had been trying to crack on with his co-star

Irked: Kem isn't too pleased to hear about his pal's conversation with Amber

Jumping on the defence, Chris tells Kem: 'Mate, she’s trying to keep you on your toes. I haven’t even spoken to her. Ask her when I said that?

'Why would she say that? Honestly go and grab her. I want her to tell me the exact spot. I’ve not said that. If I’d said that, I’d tell you I said that. She’s said that to stir it.'

He then accuses Amber of 'using him' to stir things up between herself and Kem while mulling over the situation in the beach hut. 

And in a game of 'he says, she says', Kem then goes back to Amber to tell her that Chris had disputed what she had to say. 

With Amber not backing down and confronting Chris once more, that only winds the Gloucestershire lad up further.

Annoyed: Chris is left frustrated after mulling over his awkward spat with Amber

He can't help but vent about the encounter to Montana and his flame of the villa, blonde beauty Chloe - awkwardly admitting that he did say he was on the hunt for a brunette. 

'Don't get annoyed,' he told Chloe, 'But I said I'm waiting for a brunette to come in. 

'I don't know why I said that, but just forget that - this is why this thing escalated... two minutes later, she made out I was coming onto her. It's mad.'

Chloe, however, couldn't forget Chris' remark and tells him: 'You have to understand how muggy it looks on me. That makes me look so stupid.'

With his chances of a blossoming romance with Chloe slightly scuppered, Chris may find himself turning his attentions elsewhere - especially as new girl Tyne-Lexy Clarson has set her sights on him.

She claims Chris is 'the main guy that I'm after' and that she 'doesn't care' about treading on another girl's toes to get to him. 

Gushing about her co-star, she says: 'The first guy that caught my eye was Chris. Our babies would be absolutely beautiful. 

'He's smart, he's beautiful, got a great body.'

While she has her eyes firmly on the prize, Chloe doesn't appear to back down when it comes to her man and making a dig at Tyne-Lexy, she claims: 'Fake people in here do not last. Their personality crumbles.'
