All the signs Love Island’s Mitch and Ella B had secretly split – as she announces relationship is over

Living at opposite ends of the country blamed for Love Island break-up

Love Island couple Mitchel Taylor and Ella Barnes have announced that their relationship is over, prompting shock among fans. The pair, who left the villa just weeks ago, posted separate statements about the split, with Mitch, 27, placing the blame on the geographical distance between them.

No Instagram activity for weeks

Speculation about their split has been brewing, as the last time they posted about each other on Instagram was three weeks ago. This lack of social media affection could have been a telltale sign that their relationship was in trouble.

But they attended an event together

However, despite their lack of online presence, both Mitch and Ella attended We Are FSTVL last week. They even took photos together at the event, but later Mitch shared a solo shot on social media, fueling rumors of a split.

TikTok video and claims of flirting from Mitch's villa ex

Interestingly, the day before Ella announced the break-up on Instagram, Mitch posted a "weird" TikTok video with his mum, which left fans divided. In the caption, he referred to his mum as the "most important woman" in his life, suggesting that the relationship was already over. Furthermore, Mitch's villa ex, Abi, claimed that he still flirts with her behind Ella's back. Abi refused to rule out getting back together with Mitch, saying "Never say never."

Surprising end to a rollercoaster relationship

Ella and "Messy" Mitch's relationship was filled with drama from the very start, as she stole him from Abi Moores after entering the Love Island villa as a bombshell. Despite being dumped from the show just days before the final, they seemed determined to prove doubters wrong. However, it seems that their time apart has taken a toll on their relationship, leading to this surprising split.
