Mitchel Taylor has revealed which of his co-stars he has had his eye on ahead of Love Island All Stars – and two of them are set to join him in the South African sun.
The former plumber, 27, made his first appearance on the ITV2 show just six months ago on season 10 of the competition.
Messy Mitch was initially coupled up with Molly Marsh, but their promising partnership was cut short when she caught the attention of bombshell Zachariah Noble.
He then went on a string of dates with Charlotte Sumner, Leah Taylor and Malissa Nicol.
But his prayers have been answered this season, as he said he would love to explore connections with Demi Jones, 25 and Georgia Harrison, 29.

His prayers have been answered this season, as he said he would love to explore connections with Demi Jones, 25, and Georgia Harrison, 29
He told Mail Online: ‘My first ever crush was Lucie Donlan, but she’s engaged now, so that’s probably never going to happen. And obviously Georgia Harrison, just her whole royal thing, I thought I’d get on with her fine.
‘I met one girl at an event in Manchester in November called Demi Jones. I didn’t watch her series, but I knew she was on it. We had a good five-minute conversation, and there was a bit of a decent vibe there.
‘But the conversation ended early because Ella was with Demi that night. So obviously ever since I’ve left there, it’s kind of stuck in the back of my head, but I never really approached anybody.’
The 2023 contestant, from Sheffield, was quickly dubbed Messy Mitch during his time on the show over his wandering eye and cringey antics.
He has revealed his desperately wants to ‘fall in love’ with ‘no drama’ but is conscious that the more mischievous side of his personality isn’t something he can control.
He said: ‘I’ll be honest, with me saying we’re not getting Messy Mitch, it’s like a character I don’t know I’ve got. It depends on what day of the week it is. If I wake up in a bad mood…I don’t really have a choice.
‘I think Messy Mitchel comes without me doing it. It’s not like my alter ego or my super character or whatever you want to call it. I can’t say yes or no if Messy Mitchel will come or not? I don’t know.

Mitch had his heart broken after love interest Molly (left) had her eye turned by his friend Zachariah Noble (right) – the two are still very much in love months on from leaving the villa. To avoid this devastating turn of events again, Mitch said he would not be wearing his heart on his sleeve
‘I hope not. I hope to have a great time and no drama and have a happy ending and all that stuff.’
Learning from his past appearances, Mitch plans to be less open this time as he wants to avoid being hurt again.

To avoid this turn of events again, Mitch said he would not be wearing his heart on his sleeve.
He told MailOnline: ‘I’m not going to jump in with two feet like I did with Molly and get hurt. So I think ever since that one, my guard is up, I wasn’t really being myself. I was being myself with my personality, but getting to know girls, I wasn’t being full force.
‘I think this time, hopefully, I come across a bit nicer and control my emotions a bit more. I do wear my heart on my sleeve, and that obviously can get me into trouble. So I think just to be a bit more composed, just try and live in the moment.’
Love Island: All Stars launches on Monday 15th January at 9pm on ITV1, ITV2, ITVX & STV
