EXCLUSIVE: Love Island star Chloe Burrows has opened up about her own dating disasters ahead of her new Channel 4 documentary, UNTOLD: Love in the Wild – The Real Dating Experiment
Love Island babe Chloe Burrows has confirmed she’s officially off the market – but don’t expect to see her packing on the PDA anytime soon.
The 28-year-old blonde beauty, who shot to fame on the ITV2 dating show back in 2021, has finally moved on from her high-profile split with Toby Aromolaran – and she’s found love the old-fashioned way.
Speaking ahead of the release of her brand new Channel 4 documentary UNTOLD: Love in the Wild – The Real Dating Experiment, which drops tonight (June 4), Chloe spilled the tea on her new romance, her dating disasters, and why she’s turned her back on dating apps for good.

“Yes, I’ve met someone in real life,” she confirmed with a smile. “But I’m keeping this one private. No more public relationships for me.”
Chloe and Toby captured the nation’s hearts during their time in the villa, eventually finishing as runners-up in the 2021 series. But after a whirlwind romance outside the show – complete with moving in together and red carpet appearances – things fizzled out, and the pair called it quits in 2022.
“After my other Untold documentary, I’m standing on business,” Chloe explained. “I’m not having a public relationship again. It’s not a secret, just something I want to keep to myself.”
In her new doc, which is part of Channel 4’s hard-hitting UNTOLD strand, Chloe goes on a real-life dating mission to uncover why young Brits are ditching the apps and heading back to real-world romance. And spoiler alert – it gets messy.
From speed dating to awkward blind dates to full-on rock climbing with strangers, Chloe dives into every type of face-to-face flirting you can imagine – and she’s got the bruises (and stories) to prove it and when it comes to her own dating life away from the show, it hasn’t always been plain sailing.
“There’s one guy who looked nothing like his profile pic,” she laughed as she detailed the time she was catfished. “I evacuated immediately. I said I needed the loo and never came back.”
The documentary also dives into the dark side of app dating – from AI-generated profiles to safety concerns and ghosting culture. “It’s mad,” Chloe admitted. “It’s too easy to catfish now. You just don’t know who’s really behind the screen.”
And while she’s still glued to Love Island like the rest of us, don’t expect her to pop back into the villa any time soon – even for All Stars.
“No. Not for me,” she said firmly. “I’ve done my bit. I’ve moved on. I’ll still be watching though – I’m a fan just like everyone else. I love the routine of it – dinner done by 9, sit down and watch Love Island, then bed.”
The dating show returns next week for its 12th series marking a decade since its debut.
Since her Island days, Chloe’s carved out a brand new career as a presenter and doc host. Her first UNTOLD film tackled the dark side of fame, and now she’s back for round two – and loving it.
“I love getting stuck in. I’m not just narrating – I’m actually going through these experiences,” she said. “Let us [Islanders] enjoy any opportunity we get. If it’s not your thing, that’s fine – watch something else. Trolls will always troll. But for those of us taking this route, good on us.”
And her advice for anyone still swiping left and right?
“Go outside. Go meet people. Honestly, try speed dating. The vibe was immaculate.”
Love In The Wild: The Real Dating Experiment: UNTOLD streams on Channel 4 from Wednesday 4th June.
