If you watched the winter version of last year's season of Love Island you’ll remember that a certain Islander was cracking on with pretty much every girl in sight (or trying to). Love him or hate him, Mitch Taylor, who began his Love Island 2023 journey as an OG, sure kept us all entertained.

His mad moving with Molly Marsh iconic and wildly contradictory.

He gave us major LOLs until the whole Abi Moores x Ella Barnes x Mitch love triangle unfolded (more on that in a sec). He then gave THAT speech during The Grafties before returning to the villa for the first All Stars series.

All seemed well until Scott van-der-Sluis tried to get to know Abi and then Mitch's head was in a spin... Before you knew it though, Ella B arrived and they recoupled.

And despite Mitch and Abi splitting, in typical 'Messy Mitch' behaviour he kept throwing digs at Abi and claimed that Scott 'wasn't interested' in her.

However in a Love Island plot twist, two months after the villa Mitch reunited with Abi... well, kind of.

What happened with Mitch Taylor and Ella Barnes?

Mitch and Ella recoupled towards the end of series 10 and they stayed together for two months after the show.

What has Mitch Taylor done since Love Island 2023?

Since leaving the Love Island villa Mitch has been living the influencer lifestyle, he is also an ambassador for Novamen.

In September he was dropped from his management company amid a 'homophobia row'. Following the scandal, Mitch denied using homophobic language and claimed he didn't throw money at a homeless person.

He recently opened about the ordeal and being 'cancelled' during a chat on Tom’s Talks podcast saying, 'An influencer put a story on, accusing me of something that wasn't true.

'My management at the time turned their back on me and I had no one, thankfully I've got my friends and a loving family, but I lost so much money, I had so much work lined up,' he went on. 'All that cancelled.'

After failing to find love in the villa both times, Mitch was a single Pringle for a hot sec but is now all loved up with model Hayley Griffin.
