Celebrity Big Brother star drops huge clue she’s split with Love Island boyfriend saying ‘my taste in men is horrendous’
CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Jemma Lucy has dropped a huge hint that suggests she’s split with her Love Island star boyfriend.
Jemma, 35, has recently been spotted on a string of dates with Mitchel Taylor, 27, who appeared on Love Island All Stars earlier this year.
The pair have been romantically linked since last month and seen out and about while holding hands.
But despite it appearing they are an item, Jemma has now let slip that they may have already broken up.
The Ex On The Beach star has told Mail Online that she is desperate to appear on Celebs Go Dating in a bid to find love.
She said: “A lot of people go on that show and they’re either not really interested or they’re not really single, they’re just there for money or airtime – but me, genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I need help!
“I have got the worst type in men in the world and I would rather have no man than have my type because they’re just horrendous!”
Jemma and Mitchel – AKA Messy Mitch – were snapped holding hands earlier this week during a shopping trip in central London.
They had previously enjoyed a belated Valentine’s Day meal together.
The pair met up for lunch in Sheffield and Mitch arrived with a bouquet of flowers for Jemma.
A source close to the pair said: “They’ve got great chemistry and get on really well so were keen to meet up soon after he got out of the villa.
“They’ve been getting to know each other and are excited to see what happens.”
The pair weren’t shy about their date, either.
Both shared news of their romantic lunch to Instagram and Jemma captioned hers with a blue heart emoji and “catch up”.
But when asked by MailOnline about Mitch, Jemma was quick to play it down.
She told the publication it is “very, very early days”, adding: “We’re just doing what we’re doing.”
Prior to his romance with Jemma, Mitch was coupled up in the Love Island All Stars villa with Liberty Poole.
However, their short-lived romance didn’t make it past leaving the villa.
They were given the boot after being voted the least popular couple by Love Island All Stars viewers and it was obvious they weren’t going to go the distance.
It then emerged Mitch had been secretly dating blonde model Katie Wolstenholme before entering the ITV2 dating show.
He even mentioned her in his post-villa exit interview while sat alongside Liberty – but Katie was long gone by then.
An insider said at the time: “Katie and Mitch were dating for about three months before he did the show and he was desperate for her to wait for him, but she decided to move on.
“Everyone was really surprised when Mitch brought up Katie on the live show.
“It shows he’s serious about her and is prepared to graft to win her back. Katie is really lovely girl and very pretty, but Messy Mitch is up to his old tricks and she’s not going to be made a fool of.”
