Love Island star Mitchel Taylor has revealed that one of his fellow islanders has ended their friendship in a savage social media dig.
Since leaving the villa last week, Mitchel, 24, has appeared on several podcasts where he has retaliated against comments made by some of his fellow islanders - including two-time Love Island star, Kady McDermott.
Following on from the awkward Love Island reunion - which saw endless drama - Mitch hit back at Kady after she called him 'a superfan' in a recent interview, before accusing Kady of being 'fake' and having a secret boyfriend while in the villa.
However, Kady has since hit back at the claims in a lengthy Instagram Stories statement, suggesting that she has been "deliberately targeted by some of [her] fellow Islanders" over controversial remarks she made on several podcasts.
The two influencers have been at loggerheads after both being dumped from Series 10 of the ITV dating reality show last month, and it appears their back-and-forth squabbling is only getting worse as Kady has now cut all ties with Mitch by unfollowing him on all social media platforms.
Love Island's Haris spills on unaired row between Zara and TanyelSpeaking on Heat Dates last week, Kady caused quite the stir when she labelled Mitch a 'Love Island superfan' and claimed that he "studied every series of Love Island" before landing the gig. The 27-year-old, who also appeared in Series 2, added: "He even said to me he wants to be a memorable character."
She also accused his relationship with Ella B of being 'fake from both sides', adding, "In the villa, we were with each other every second of the day. We know if there is genuine connections or not. The two are faking it." Mitch, who was evicted from the villa just a day before the Love Island 2023 finale, didn't take kindly to Kady's harsh words. Speaking to ODE Entertainment on Monday, the 26-year-old accused The Only Way is Essex star of being 'fake' and alleged that she had a secret relationship whilst filming the show.
"You calling me and Ella B 'fake', you came in with a boyfriend. You have a boyfriend to this day," he told hot Jodi McCallum, before alleging that Kady was wearing her partner's bracelet while in the villa. He also condemned the Celebs Go Dating star for her widespread slating of former contestants after leaving the show, adding, "She must be the first Islander to come off and mince everyone. I am known as 'Messy Mitch," he continued, before adding, "I should be doing what Kady's doing and all I'm doing right now is retaliating."
"I don't know why Kady's doing it," he said, before clarifying, "The thing is, I really like Kady. We were at the Love Island final event and she grabbed me and said, 'Mitch, you're my favourite character, I love you to pieces'." The former gas engineer admitted he didn't understand why she was being nice to his face but criticising him on camera, musing that it could be to gain "15 minutes" of fame.
