It has officially begun. We had our first Love Island dumping of the series last night (Monday 22 January) and everyone was GAGGED.
The Islanders were gagged, the viewers were gagged, the heat HQ group chat was gagged, even Maya Jama was gagged.
If you are still catching up with the drama from Monday's episode of All Stars, be warned that this story will feature hella spoilers.
Arabella Chi rocked up to the villa over the weekend and turned the head of every single fella including Chris Taylor, who she decided to couple up with, ultimately leaving Demi Jones single.
Minutes later, another bombshell sauntered into the villa and we're not exaggerating when we tell you it left the Islanders looking like every shocked meme you've ever seen.
For who should the latest addition to the villa be? None other than Kaz Kamwi's ex and Love Island 2021 bae, Tyler Cruickshank.
Oh, the plot THICKENS.
Tyler decided he wanted to be with Kaz for his first pairing which, of course, left Luis Morrison single and he ended up being dumped from the villa alongside Demi.
Savage.
Once they were booted out, it didn't take long for the duo to chat about their time in the villa, with Demi admitting it was "lovely" to leave with Luis before opening up about the rest of her castmates.
"Mitch [Taylor] pleasantly surprised me," she admitted, but that wasn't all she had to say about the Love Island 2023 agent of chaos.
"Before I went into the villa, I thought to myself, if Mitch was in there, would I get on with someone like him because he’s so ‘messy’? But he’s actually charming and lovely. I just think he loves the drama - he’s a menace."
Understatement of the century, he wasn't awarded the nickname 'Messy Mitch' for nothing.
This isn't the first time Demi has hinted at starting up a romance with the OG Islander as his name popped up prior to All Stars when she had a chat with heat.
“I have met Messy Mitch and he is a lovely boy," she revealed at the time, "As long as he keeps the messiness away from me, that’s fine."
Erm, well he most certainly did NOT keep the messiness away from Demi.
During his first time on the dating show last year, the gas engineer was constantly up in everyone's business and telling every girl he spoke to that he wanted to marry them.
Part of us thought that second time around he would have changed the narrative, but nope. We're only a week in and he's already made Liberty Poole cry, found himself rowing with Luis and told at least four girls that they are his number one, including Demi.
It turns out that Mitch also had a few words to say about Demi before they spent time together in the South African Villa, with the northerner confessing that he had already met her, "One person I met at an event in Manchester, early November or October time was Demi Jones. I didn't watch her season but when we had our conversation it was good, bit of a connection, bit of a vibe.
"And then the conversation had to end because she came with Ella [Barnes]," he admitted, "One thing that upsets me, if Demi were to ever come in the villa, is she going to talk to me when she's friends with Ella?"
It turns out that being pals with his ex wasn't an issue at all as Demi and Mitch definitely flirted on the All Stars series and even after she left the villa, Demi hinted that it wasn't completely over.
"Maybe in another universe it would have been me and Mitch?" Demi added and we pray for your sake, Demi, you never find yourself in that universe.
