Who is Mitchel Taylor? Meet Love Island 2023 contestant and gas engineer
The 26-year-old gas engineer from Sheffield wants to "find the one".
It’s only been back on our screens for a week, but our eyes are glued to all the drama currently happening on the summer series of Love Island 2023.
The show began on Monday, 5th June, and has seen the likes of semi-professional footballer Tyrique Hyde and music video model Ella Thomas - as well as gas engineer Mitchel Taylor, who was coupled up by the public with Molly Marsh.
Mitchel is smitten with the musical theatre performer, and has already declared he is not open to talking to the other girls - but Molly has different ideas, and viewers have seen her want to get to know bombshells Zachariah Noble and Sammy Root.
While Molly did choose to recouple with Mitchel during last Friday’s episode, fans are convinced there could be trouble in paradise for the pair.
While the drama unfolds, here’s everything you need to know about Mitchel…
