CHARLIE Taylor says he’s open to returning to professional rugby after being evicted from reality dating show Love Island.
The Rugby Sevens star put his sporting career on hold to compete on the Channel 9 show and while he says he still needs time, a return to rugby isn’t out of the question.
“Rugby has definitely been at the back of my mind,” Taylor told Confidential from Spain.
“I’ll be busy for the next month or two after the show and after that I will make a decision on whether I go back to rugby or some other television stuff.
“One hundred per cent I am still open to it (rugby), I just needed some time off to find myself. I don’t regret anything.
“Rugby is something I definitely want to consider, whether it is end of this year or next year.”
Taylor, 22, also a model, was the first contestant eliminated from Love Island Australia on Sunday night, a week in to the reality show shooting on the party island of Majorca.
In the same vein as Big Brother, the loveless hopefuls will live in the villa for another five weeks until a series winner is announced.
“Tayla was the only girl I found attractive in the house but her personality changed like the weather so you didn’t know what type of girl she would be each day,” Taylor explained. “And she screwed my good mate Josh over twice. I don’t see any romantic connection with any of them in the house.”
Taylor, who represented Australia at the recent Commonwealth Games, was still in shock when he spoke to Confidential.
“I just didn’t see it coming,” he said. “I am trying to process everything. I am just gobsmacked by the whole thing, over thinking everything.”
Taylor was the subject of a number of rumours in the outside world during his time on the show. One media publication suggested he has a secret girlfriend while another wrote of naked pictures leaked on the internet.
“I’ve seen a few of the pics and I don’t think they are mine,” he said. “People have sent me pics and they are two different people. I don’t know if someone is trying to scare me. I wouldn’t say the nudes are me. It doesn’t phase me whatsoever though.”
And of the girlfriend rumour, he said: “I haven’t got a girlfriend. The girl they are talking about is with my (modelling) agency. There’s nothing going on there.”
