Love Island's Mitchel looking for 'bromance' but would 'step on toes' for right girl

Love Island contestant Mitchel Taylor has admitted he would "step on toes" for the right girl despite wanting a bromance in the villa.

The gas engineer from Sheffield is on the look out for love in the latest series of the hit ITV2 show and has already made clear what he is willing to do to get it.

Mitchel, 26, hopes to find a guy he "clicks with" during his stay in the villa as he "loves" a bromance.

Yet, as we all know, things can get tricky when two guys have eyes for the same girl.

"I'm going into find love not friends, so I would have to put the friendship to the side for the girl," he explained.

"If I like a girl I am going to have to step on toes."

Asked why he wanted to join Love Island, Mitchel added: "I have been single since last year, I am now at a stage where I am happy to get to know someone and get dating again.

"This is a good opportunity and it has fallen at a good time so I want to give this a go."

Mitchel has admitted to being very picky in previous relationships but says he is a gentleman when he finds the right girl.

"I thrive on being a gentleman. I’ll shower you with flowers, I’ll take you on dates, I’ll fill your bedside draw with your favourite sweets and chocolate.

"I’ve been single, I’ve had my fun, and now I want to settle down now."

Explaining why he thinks he is single, the Yorkshire hunk said: "I’m just really picky. I’ve got to find 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."

For Mitchel, his ideal woman is someone who he clicks with personality wise.

If he had to crack on with any previous contestants, Mitchel would go for Lucie Donlan or Gemma Owen.

Even though the two Love Island stars look very different, the gas engineer explained their "personalities and how they are" are just his type.

His celeb crushes also have strikingly different appearances as he admitted he fancies American singer Madison Beer and Norwegian chart-topper Sigrid.
