Former Love Island contestant, Messy Mitch, has opened up about his decision to step away from the spotlight. While many of his peers from the reality dating show pursue careers as influencers, Mitch has chosen to return to his regular job post-show.
Mitchel Taylor, who appeared in the 2023 season and also participated in the All Stars spin-off, has opted to go back to his pre-fame routine. In a social media post, the 27-year-old shared that he has resumed his nine-to-five job as a gas engineer, acknowledging that relying solely on the influencer lifestyle was not sustainable.
In a candid online statement, Mitch emphasized the importance of balancing his Love Island experience with his day job, highlighting the necessity of financial stability for maintaining a comfortable lifestyle. Despite gaining fame for his lively persona on the show, Mitch now finds fulfillment in his career outside of the entertainment industry.
Addressing his followers, Mitch humorously reflected on his journey post-Love Island, admitting to the realities of needing a stable job for financial security. He also shared that he is currently in a committed relationship with TikTok personality Hayley Griffin, ruling out any future appearances on reality TV dating shows.
Following his stint on Love Island: All Stars in 2024, where he earned the nickname Messy Mitch for his romantic escapades, Mitch faced an early exit from the villa after a disagreement with another contestant. Despite his brief return to the show, Mitch has since redirected his focus away from the public eye, enjoying a low-key relationship with Hayley off-camera.
Hayley has playfully joked about keeping Mitch away from reality TV, emphasizing her role as his partner in real life. The couple, who went public with their relationship in July 2024, continue to prioritize their personal lives over the allure of fame.
