Love Island All Stars set for explosive row as Mitch Taylor admits he has a ‘connection’ with ex Ella Barnes’ best pal
LOVE Island All Stars is set for fireworks as Mitchel Taylor confessed that he has a romantic "connection" with ex Ella Barnes' best pal.
The former gas engineer from Sheffield, 28, is one of the contestants taking part on the spin-off dating series.
Mitch earned himself the nickname "Messy Mitch" for his antics in the summer, after he savagely dumped Abi Moores for Ella Barnes.
And he's ready to cause more chaos after he revealed that he's keen to crack on with Ella B's good friend Demi Jones, who is one of the single ladies entering the All Stars villa.
Speaking to The Sun, Mitch said: "I'd like to see Gemma Owen in there, but I think she might be too much of a big character for me. I watched her with Luke [Bish], and I thought I don't know if that would click the way I'd want it too.
"Georgia Harrison and one person I met at an event in Manchester, early October time, was Demi Jones.

"I didn't watch her season but when we had our conversation, there was a bit of a connection, bit of a vibe but the conversation had to end because she had come with Ella [Barnes].
"Demi was being respectful to Ella.
"The one thing that upsets me is if Demi was to ever come into the villa, is she going to talk to me if she's friends with Ella?
"That's one of them things, I don't know?"

Mitch also addressed how he'd handle the situation if his exes Ella and Abi Moores make a bombshell return.
“I’d be honest from my side of things, I think they’re great. I’ve got no problems. I’ve got nothing but love for them girls," he said.
"On their side of things, I don’t know how they feel about me. I think when me and Ella broke up, Ella was more upset than I was.
"We’ve not seen or spoken at all since middle of August after we split. And the Abi situation, I think Abi is great but if they were to bring Abi in to break me and a someone else up, that just wouldn’t happen.
"Although I think those girls are great, I’ve got a lot of time for them but our ship has sailed.”
Meanwhile fans are not convinced that Mitch is not a changed man - and said he's still a "walking red flag".
One wrote: “He’s not gonna last five seconds in there, the girls are massive characters going in.. he has zero chat.”
A second said: “He is already playing the game the same as last time, listen to his words ….Walking red flag.”
Mitch faced controversy weeks after he left the villa.
