LOVE Island bad boy Mitch Taylor is dating a stunning South African model as he finally find love.
The former gas engineer, who appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2023 and returned for the All Star series earlier this year, told fans that he was “soft launching” his new relationship on social media.
Mitch shared snaps of the 24-year-old brunette beauty Hayley Griffin, The Sun can reveal.
The reality star, who earned himself the nickname ‘Messy Mitch’ due to his antics in the villa, looked smitten with his new love interest.
The happy couple were all smiles as they filmed an Instagram video.
Loved-up Mitch also posted a photo of Hayley in gym gear holding a huge bouquet of flowers.
Mitch simply captioned it: “Life’s Reyt Good.”
His former Love Island co-stars were chuffed to see the star happy.
All Stars winner Tom Clare, who is dating Molly Smith, wrote: “Good to see you happy mate.”
While Tyrique Hyde posted: “Hard launch???,” to which Mitch replied: “Soft.”
TikTok and influencer Hayley keeps fans updated with her jet-setting life on social media.
The model has posted a string of glam bikini and swimsuit snaps while on sunkissed holidays in Greece, Ibiza and Cape Town.
Former gas engineer Mitch had been unlucky in love up until now.
Mitch has become a very memorable Islander from the programme since series 10.
The northern lad was an original sexy singleton on day one, who coupled up with Molly Marsh.
Throughout his time in the villa the first time around, he certainly created a lot of drama and even got nicknamed “Messy Mitch”.
After failing to impress Molly, he coupled up with Leah Taylor, Jess Harding and Abi Moores.
Things seemed to be going well with Abi, until he decided that he had more of a connection with bombshell Ella Barnes.
Mitch became involved in a love square with his ex Abi, her new man Scott van-der-Sluis and his new girl Ella.
He was later dumped from the villa hand in hand with Ella.
Just weeks after they returned to the UK, Mitch and Ella called things off.
He was later pictured cosying up next to his ex Abi on a red carpet at an event.
It was later revealed that Ella was left feeling “disrespected” after her ex reunited with her villa rival.
Mitch then shocked fans when he stepped foot back in the villa months later for the spin-off series.
He coupled up with Kaz Kamwi on day one, but built a connection with Liberty Poole.
The Brummie lass was left in tears a number of times while they were together, and Mitch was also slammed by fans and co-star Anton Danyluk.
Mitch only lasted over two weeks and was dumped on day 16.
