Love Island’s Mitch Taylor ‘had secret girlfriend for three months before the show’ – as he admits he’s now trying to get back with her after returning home
Love Island’s Mitch Taylor reportedly had a secret girlfriend for three months before re-entering the villa for the All Stars edition.
The 27-year-old gas engineer had been dating Katie Wolstenholme for several months, it is claimed.
According to reports, he wanted her to wait for him while he was on the ITV dating show, but she made the decision to end the relationship and move on.
It comes after Mitch told host Maya Jama during the final that he is ‘trying to get back’ with the Blackpool ex after dumping her to return to the show.
He was interviewed by Maya in the finale, where he made the revelation after being asked what is currently going on with his love life.

Standing next to Hannah Elizabeth, he said: ‘Well, I tried to run back to my ex!’, as Hannah interjected ‘The Blackpool one!?’
Mitch then tried to shut her up as Maya joked, “Is she a secret ex? Shall we keep that a secret for now?’
Then he jokingly replied, “Well, it isn’t now!”
Scott van-der-Sluis, who appeared in the series with Mitch last summer, quickly fueled their feud by mentioning his ex in a Tweet.
He wrote: ‘For anyone wondering, Mitch’s ex from Blackpool is called Katie and he hasn’t stopped talking about her.’
Scott and Mitch fell out on their series after ending up in a love triangle with Abi Moores.
And a source has now said this The sun: ‘Katie and Mitch had been dating for about three months before he did the show and he desperately wanted her to wait for him, but she decided to move on.
They added that Mitch is “serious” about Katie and “willing to win her back.”

Mitch’s representatives have been contacted by MailOnline for comment.
Mitch was paired with Liberty Poole for most of his time on the show, but seemed reluctant to commit to her.
Molly Smith and Tom Clare were crowned the winners of Love Island All Stars in the final on Monday night.
According to new reports, the pair have clinched their win on Love Island All Stars.
New voting percentages show her ex Callum Jones and his partner Jess Gale narrowly missed out on winning the grand final by two percent.
Molly and Tom took home the £50,000 prize after receiving 35 per cent of the public vote, according to The sun.
Molly’s former boyfriend Callum and his partner Jess received just under 33 percent, while Sophie Piper and Joshua Ritchie, who came third, received 15 percent of the viewer votes.
Georgia Steel and Toby Aromolaran received 10 percent support, leaving Georgia Harrison and Anton Danyluk in last place with just seven percent of the vote.
After Molly and Tom were declared winners, Tom told host Maya Jama “my mind is blown” as Molly visibly shook as she shouted “what the heck.”
Ahead of the final result, Molly admitted that the Love Island experience has ‘forced’ her to become friends with her ex Callum.
Standing next to Hannah Elizabeth, he said: ‘Well, I tried to run back to my ex!’, as Hannah interjected ‘The Blackpool one!?’
She also said she was “grateful” that they had been given the chance to finalize things, but stressed that there would not be a “fairytale ending” for either of them.
On navigating the romance in the villa with her ex there, Molly said: “I think people obviously won’t understand it from the outside.
“We’re in an intense environment and you have to get along, so it kind of forced us to become friends.
‘From the outside we probably wouldn’t have been at this stage, it probably would have just been a bit awkward, but I feel like it’s put us in a place we would never have gotten to, and I’m actually grateful for that . .’
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 twenties, so I want to go to the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone I can fall in love with. I am lucky in the sense that I have everything in my life that I could ever want, apart from love.
If you had to pick your best islanders from series 1 to 10 to pair up with, who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a guy who can make me laugh. What a nice guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with, so I think he’s good for that kind of thing!
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 except a boyfriend, so why not just give it up?
You have been brave and honest in telling us that you have been defrauded by a former partner. How has this experience affected the way you approach dating now?
I now view that experience as a very positive reflection. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life so I could learn what I wanted in my next partner.
Molly Smith
AGE: 29

What do you want to know? Molly started her season as a Casa Amor bombshell and managed to turn Callum Jones’ head.

Last time I did exactly what I wanted and got the girl I wanted, so no, I wouldn’t do anything differently.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
When you are with someone 24/7, you really get to know that person. It can be such an alien environment, where you really get to know someone in a short time. It’s Love Island – it’s the best place!

You were in a long-term relationship with Chloe Burrows. What do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are entering 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’ve ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice will be incredible.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think things will be different this time with Love Island: All Stars because we all understand what it’s like to be on Love Island and the only thing missing now is finding a partner.

What do you want to know? Callum caused shockwaves on his series when he ended his romance with Shauna Phillips and re-coupled with Molly Smith in Casa Amor.

Why return to the famous Love Island Villa?
I had a nice experience the first time, but I haven’t gone the full route to find love, so I would like to find someone this time.
What are you going to do differently this time?
I’m quite laid back and don’t want any drama, so I think I’ll approach it in a similar way this time. I’m a one-woman girl.
Why do you think the Villa is the perfect place to find love?
It is a unique experience and not something that happens every day.
