Who is Mitchel Taylor? Love Island contestant from Sheffield, gas engineer, aged 26, describes his turn-offs

Gas engineer Mitchel Taylor, aged 26, is one of 10 contestants taking part in the new TV series airing on ITV2 and ITVX – including two people from South Yorkshire. He has spoken about how he ‘thrives on being a gentleman’ and, asked how he intends to find love in the villa, he told ITV: “I’ll shower you with flowers, I’ll take you on dates, I’ll fill your bedside drawer with your favourite sweets and chocolate. I’ve been single, I’ve had my fun and now I want to settle down.

He admitted that he’s ‘really picky' in his search for ‘the girl that I want to marry and have kids with’. “I’m nearly 27, I don’t want to play the field anymore, I want to find the one,” he added. Discussing his turn-offs, Taylor said: “Food in your teeth and counting coins in your hand. When a girl stands at the bar counting out the coins to pay for a drink, it’s not for me.”
