Love Island’s Mitchel Taylor is branded a cheat after seeing TWO girls behind his childhood sweetheart’s back

LOVE Island gasman Mitchel Taylor was branded a cheat by his stunning childhood sweetheart.

The lad is the second of this year’s line-up to be accused of toxic behaviour before the show has even begun, after this week The Sun exposed business exec George Fensom as a love rat.

Lauren Foster learnt Mitch, 26, was secretly seeing TWO girls during their four-year relationship.

After finally calling time, beautician Lauren uploaded a string of videos to TikTok where she accused Mitch of cheating and disrespect.

Across a number of and , Lauren claimed: “When you’re single and know you’re not getting cheated on.”

“When everyone expects you to be depressed after a breakup but you’re living your best life because your ex f**ked up more than once.”

“When you break up and he thinks the best way to get over you is disrespecting you.”

A source said: “Mitch and Lauren met when they were young and it was an ongoing saga of him dumping her for someone he thought was better, then begging for another chance.

“It was a toxic spiral that bashed her self-esteem.”

A friend of Mitchel’s has now told The Sun that there were three girls involved at the time, not two. When The Sun asked Mitchel if he had ever cheated, he said no.

Mitchel took the chance to explain the break-up before he entered the villa this weekend.

He told The Sun: “To be honest with you, I went through a patch of dating two… well, I broke up with both of them but I was still speaking to both of them at the same time, single. Them two found out that I was speaking to them both."

Mitchel added: “In Sheffield, I’ve not really got a good reputation. I’ve dated quite well known girls and then since I’ve dated them, I’ve built up a rep but I’m not a bad person or anything.

“I feel like I’m a very nice person but if they’re not The One I’ll cut it off.

“So it’s really hard for me to date someone with a clean slate without knowing my past.”

Lauren posted her and Mitch's love story online in June 2020, writing: “This is Mitch. We was together for three years and broke up as it was the wrong time and we was both too young. I didn’t see or speak to him but not a day went by that I didn’t think about him. I was just too stubborn to admit it.

“I still spoke and met his family as we was really close. Me and Mitch then reunited unexpectedly at a garage - everything happens for a reason. We are back together and happier than ever. Thankfully you’re mine for good this time.”

It comes after another Islander George Fensom was accused of driving his ex-girlfriend Ebony Keeley to the brink of suicide.

She told The Sun: “ITV shouldn’t be giving him a platform. It’s dangerous to have younger boys look up to him and for him to potentially be emotionally abusive in the villa like he was to me in our relationship.”
