I was on Love Island and compared Mitch to TV’s biggest stalker – it ended in a bust-up that was never shown on screen
LOVE Island star Andre Furtado has revealed he left Mitchel Taylor riled – by comparing him with one of TV’s biggest villains.
The 21-year-old from Dudley said Mitch reminded him of serial killer Joe Goldberg from hit Netflix drama You.
Andre said the comment sparked an argument but it was hushed up by Love Island producers.
The star – who was dumped from the villa last month – said in a recent tweet: “I remember I told Mitch he’s moving like Joe from YOU and he got p****d off at me.”
Fans reacted in their droves and were raging that the moment never made into the nightly episodes.
“Nah Andre finished him,” one said alongside a crying with laughter emoji.
Another begged to know: “LOL why didn’t they show this?”
Others shared photos of You actor Penn Badgley who plays troubled fantasist Joe, and one was captioned: “Quality joke.”
One more fan echoed: “Oh my gosh, my husband made this joke too, and I died!”
Viewers feared for Molly early on in Love Island and called Mitch’s behaviour “insane” after he said he would leave the villa if she ended up with another boy – just one week into the series.
He was accused of gaslighting Molly after she chatted to Zach, and Mitch later confronted her in bed as she tried to sleep.
Furiuos Mitch whispered to her: “Don’t ever talk to me again.”
He was also accused of “harassing” Molly after he saved her from being dumped from the villa despite breaking up with her, and later he accused Molly’s new love interest, basketball player Zach, of having “small d**k energy.”
Love Island alumni Dami Hope commented on the scenes on Twitter at the time.
He wrote: “I hear what Mitch is saying but he needs to have a day off, moving like this is hostage island.”
After his initial outburst Mitchel apologised to both Molly and Zach to clear the air.
