The gas engineer, 27, – who left the series weeks ago – was interviewed by Maya Jama in the final where he made the hilarious revelation after being asked what was going on with his love life currently.
Sat alongside Hannah Elizabeth he said: ‘Well I’ve been trying to run back to my ex!’, as Hannah interrupted ‘The Blackpool one!?’

Scott van-der-Sluis who appeared on last summer’s series with Mitch soon reignited their feud by naming his ex in a Tweet.
He penned: ‘For anyone wondering Mitch’s Blackpool ex is called Katie and he hasn’t stopped talking about her.’
Scott and Mitch came to blows on their series after they ended up in a love triangle with Abi Moores.
It came as Love Island All Stars viewers slammed the lack of final dates on Monday night’s episode.
At the end of normal series each couple usually is treated to a luxury date but for this version ITV chose for the final five couples to enjoy a pool party instead.
Ella Henderson performed for the finalists as they sipped on cocktails by the pool and danced away.
But fans were less than impressed that the budget wasn’t forked out for swanky dates that in the past have included hot air balloon rides and trips on yachts.
One said in reaction: ‘Love island what happened to final dates ??? What happened to the budget ????I am so unimpressed #LoveIsland.’

Another penned: ‘Love island budget ran out? #LoveIsland #AllStars.’
Someone else said: ‘love island producers really thought they ate with 15 mins worth of slow motion montages.’
A fourth said: ‘No final dates, near no dates in general, no challenges, no prom night. ITV spent all their budget on getting these ‘all stars’ in the villa in the first place.’
A fifth penned: ‘LMAOOO WHAT IN THE FINAL DATES IS THIS??? Producers budget isn’t budgeting and this is a ALL STARS series too they really said we got no budget this year.’
Another person said: ‘What were those final dates. Producers really said BUDGET.’
It comes after Maya Jama sent temperatures soaring in a backless black gown as she posed for sizzling Instagram snaps ahead of hosting the Love Island All Stars final on Monday.
The presenter, 29, looked incredible as she flashed her side boob in the sexy figure hugging long sleeved number while posing against a white wall.
She showcased her amazing figure in the glamorous maxi dress which she teamed with a pair of towering silver dazzling heels and simple silver earrings.
Wearing a perfectly applied palette of makeup, Maya sported a chic fringe as she styled her long dark tresses in a neat high ponytail.
Sat alongside Hannah Elizabeth he said: ‘Well I’ve been trying to run back to my ex!’, as Hannah interrupted ‘The Blackpool one!?’
Maya interviewed the former contestants on the final show
While heading to set ahead of the live show Maya travelled in a large white van as she posed for a selfie in the wing mirror.
Revealing she was preparing for the show, Maya held up a peace sign and pouted for a selfie outside the South African villa.
She penned: ‘Got my fancy outfit on ready to host the Love Island Final. Who are you hoping will win tonight???’
Maya will host the the series finale on ITV2 and crown one of the remaining couples the very first All Stars champion.
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS: MEET THE CAST
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Molly Smith
AGE: 29
SERIES: 6
What do you need to know? Molly entered her season as a Casa Amor bombshell and managed to turn Callum Jones’ head.
It’s believed she ended things with Callum after three years because she ‘wanted to get engaged’ but the offer was seemingly not forthcoming.
Tom Clare
AGE: 24
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Villa?
I found love last time, so I am back and ready to give it another go.
What will you do differently this time round?
Last time I did exactly what I wanted and got the girl that I wanted, so no I wouldn’t do anything different.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
When you’re with someone 24/7 you really get to know them. It can be such an alien environment, so you really get to know someone in a short space of time. It’s Love Island – it’s the best place!
Jess Gale
AGE: 24
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the villa?
‘This time around I feel more mature and focused ready to find my future husband. I’m ready now, we’ve had so much fun the last few years I’m ready to share my life with someone else other than Eve.’
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24

Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Callum Jones
AGE: 27
SERIES: 6
What do you need to know? Callum caused shockwaves in his series when he ended his romance with Shauna Phillips and recoupled with Molly Smith in Casa Amor.
The couple went on to have a three-year relationship, even moving in together in Manchester but split last year, months before an awkward reunion in the Love Island All Stars villa.
Josh Ritchie
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1
What do you need to know? Joshua, was one of the original Islanders in 2015 and has since made a name for himself on reality TV shows including Ex on the Beach and Celebs Go Dating – and because of his highly publicised romances.

Sophie Piper
AGE: 24
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa?
I had a fun experience the first time around but I didn’t go the full way and find love, so I’d love to find someone this time.
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m quite chilled and don’t want drama, so I think I will approach this time round in a similar way. I’m a one guy kind of girl.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
It’s a once in a lifetime experience and not something that comes up every day.
