Former Love Island star Mitch Taylor (also known as 'Messy Mitch') has stayed true to his nickname, having shared his opinion on Ciaran Davies and Samie Elishi's split, hinting that it was Samie's fault.
Although Samie butted heads with Lucinda Strafford, who used to be one of her closest friends, the couple mostly flew under the radar throughout the All Stars series, which fans loved. Ultimately, they went on to be crowned the show's winners with an impressive voting lead.
However, in a shocking turn of events, less than three weeks after they left the villa as winners, it was reported that the pair had actually already called it quits.
Although the couple have broken their silence on the situation, Mitch has now weighed in sharing his thoughts and hinting that Samie was at fault.
In a now-deleted Snapchat, Mitch discussed the couple's recent breakup after a follower said, "u defo know the gossip spill". He replied: "Yes gang. I know the rumours, I know the gossip. I know it all.
"I'm not going to speak on Ciaran's behalf, that's for him to talk about what he wants to talk about."
He added: "The rumours are true. It's a shame, a big old shame. But no nice guys finish last. Don't worry Ciaran, you're a good guy bro. You deserve the world. Some people don't, I think you do."
Although Mitch doesn't directly mention Samie in the video, it appears he is indirectly suggesting that she is one of those not good people he is referring to, and that she's to blame for the split.
In a follow-up post, Mitch discussed his now-deleted story and claimed Ciaran probably "hates" him now for speaking out on the situation.
When the news broke of Ciaran and Samie's split, a tabloid source claimed: "Samie and Ciaran have decided that, for now at least, they’re better off staying friends rather than pursuing things romantically... They made that decision in the week."
They added: "Neither of them have a bad word to say about each other. Maybe they’ll end up staying good mates and you never know what could happen down the line."
Since then, another tabloid source has claimed Samie was “pretty focused on work", so it "fizzled out" due to a lack of communication, and they realised they "didn’t have much in common".
