Katie Price’s fiance Carl Woods left red-faced after fumbling Love Island debut

The embarrassing moment Katie Price’s fiance Carl Woods walked into a door on his Love Island debut has resurfaced.

Carl had a short stint on the hit ITV2 dating show back in 2016, as he tried to woo the female islanders during a string of speed dates.

However, he managed to fumble his hotly-anticipated entrance, and ended up tangled in the drapes on the glass doors while trying to get to the pool area.

"I well messed up then,” Carl joked, as he sat down for his first date with Cara De La Hoyde.

Cara, who eventually won the show with Nathan Massey, quizzed Carl on who he was most attracted to out of the girls in the villa.

He confessed he thought Zara Holland was “fit”, but almost messed up his date with the former Miss GB.

When she asked him what he looked for in a potential girlfriend, Carl looked her up and down, prompting a shocked Zara to exclaim: “Did you just look at my boobs?"

However, he managed to avoid embarrassment and confidently assured her he was very interested in pairing up.

Before making his Love Island debut, he revealed he was most keen on getting to know Zara and Kady McDermott.

"I think Zara’s a little bag of heat and Kady is hot as well – if they’re coupled up I’ll happily take one of them off the guys’ hands,” he teased.

Carl certainly made an impression on the female islanders, and the men were so unimpressed with his arrival that they complained they “might as well go f***ing home” as they watched the dates from the villa’s balcony.

His time on the show came to a halt after the speed-dating session, with the women heaping compliments on the Essex native, calling him a "nice guy" with "stunning eyes".

Before he appeared on the show, Carl boasted he owned 30 cars, including a Lamborghini, and said he looked like Magic Mike star Channing Tatum.

Describing himself as "charming, confident, game, outrageous and irresistible”, he added: "Being a Channing Tatum look-alike is a bonus to say the least. I get told I look like him a lot."

Carl started dating Katie, who is 11 years his senior, in June 2020, and have enjoyed a whirlwind romance.

He popped the question in April, after 10 months of dating, and now that Katie’s divorce from ex-husband Kieran Hayler has gone through, fans have speculated that the couple will wed sooner rather than later.

She previously teased that the nuptials would be unlike anything anyone had seen before, and told people to "expect the unexpected" from their big day.

“Put it this way, the wedding that I want, if you Googled it, no one has ever done it before,” she explained.

“It’ll be about us, Carl and our family, coming together as one. I want the focus on Carl as much as me."
