Chris’ bond with ‘son’ Cash Hughes on Love Island sparks hilarious memes and becomes a viral sensation
LOVE Island has spawned a series of hilarious viral memes after contestant Chris Hughes was seen getting rather attached to his "baby" Cash Hughes on the show.
The island hunk was seen bursting into tears during a task where he and partner Olivia Attwood had to care for a plastic baby doll together and pretend it was their own.

Chris, from Gloucestershire, found the experience just too much - and was in tears at one point while "fathering" the toy.
And while baby Cash quickly bagged his own social media page, fans were also keen to poke fun at Chris for taking the game a little too seriously.
A photo of Chris lying in bed looking pensive spawned a series of hilarious memes about him and his bond with "son" Cash.
The memes bagged thousands of likes in less than an hour of posting as fans giggled at how the "arrogant" contestant had changed personalities.
One cheeky fan wrote by the pic: "When you're trying to sleep but all you can do is think about if Cash caught too much sunlight."
Another version was captioned: "Thinking about how you're gonna balance your career with stormzy whilst raising your child as a single parent."

Referencing what happened elsewhere in the episode, a third joked: "When they say you can have a glitter party but you know it'll be past Cash Hughes' bedtime."
Chris and his villa girlfriend Olivia Attwood had named their "baby" Cash after their love of money.
And viewers fell in love with little Cash Hughes - and were soon posting "cashews" memes on Twitter.

The fake baby even landed his own Twitter page within minutes of making his onscreen debut.
Chris melted hearts with his parenting skills and fans began calling for the hunk and his popular plastic son to take the Love Island crown.
One tweeted: "Chris doesn't need Olivia him and Cash can win love Island haha 😂👶🏻 #LoveIsland."
A second wrote: "I'm sorry but Chris and Cash Hughes deserve to win #loveisland 😂."
A third added: "Get Chris and Cash Hughes to the final 😂👶🏼 #LoveIsland."
Cash landed his own Twitter account during the show and became a trending topic as fans flocked to the site to write about Love Island fans were left in stitches as the doll seemingly took over the social media site.
One wrote: "@hughes_cash your lying right? Someones made the kid twitter already😂 #loveisland."
Another added: "Cash Hughes is trending on Twitter 😂😂 #loveisland."
A third put: "

The 'baby' has been keeping fans entertained since the account was set up by tweeting out funny messages.
One joked: "Getting a DNA test, what if muggy mike is my actual dad??🙄🙄 #loveisland #muggymike."
During his fatherhood experience on the show, Chris said: “I think this morning he has already brought out an emotional side in me.

“With Olivia, we have stopped the mishaps we’ve had together and we’ve got to focus on the baby now, because ultimately he is our main responsibility."
But while Chris relished the chance to be a dad, it seems motherhood was not for Olivia.
Just fours after being handed their doll, she declares: "I have been a mum for a whole four hours and I'm done with it."
It's the latest snag to hit the couple, who have endured a rocky romance since they first hooked up in the villa.

They briefly split after multiple rows and came back together just before Mike Thalassitis re-entered the villa to shake things up again.
Olivia admitted feeling torn between the two men and although she decided to stick with Chris, Mike still managed to cause a divide when it emerged Olivia had told the islanders she'd sleep with Mike in the hideaway if nobody found out.
Naturally Chris was livid when he found out but Olivia insisted it had been said in jest when she and Chris were broken up.

But Mike warned Chris to be wary of Olivia in a candid chat before his elimination.
He told Chris: "I’m ain’t trying to put no s*** in your head or anything, but be careful mate.
“Personally, she’s not someone I would associate with."
There was even more drama between Olivia and Chris the previous night, when she slammed Chris's choice of questions for her lie detector test - which included whether or not she really told Mike she'd like to sleep with him.
Olivia truthfully answered no - as she told the other islanders, not Mike - and said she'd been in love with Chris two days ago, but following their latest rows, she claimed she wasn't in love any longer.
