While Tyrique Hyde posted: "Hard launch???," to which Mitch replied: "Soft."

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.
