Love Island viewers were surprised when Mitchel Taylor said he’d rather leave the island than watch Molly Marsh get to know someone else.
Molly’s (21), troubled affair with Mitchel (26), which was on the rocks, was the major drama shaking the resort.
Mitchel backtracked on his statements when Molly opted to couple up with him after he stated that he was going to take a step back.
To Mitchel’s chagrin, the musical theatre artist argued that she is not “locked off.”
‘I’d rather leave, than not be coupled with you, Molly. You’re my number one,’ he told her.
The sentiment didn’t sit well with viewers, with one person writing: ‘Mitchel stand up. “I’d rather leave than watch you crack on w someone else”is CRAZY after 5 days [sic].’
Mitchel needs to relax or LEAVE!!! I’m so tired of this constant complaining #loveisland

‘Mitchel needs to relax or LEAVE!!! I’m so tired of this constant complaining,’ one person seethed.
On Saturday, Molly’s relationship drama began to irritate viewers, with many pleading with producers to give more moments to other cast members.
And things will heat up with Zachariah Noble, Mitchel, and Sammy Root all fighting for the 21-year-old.
During the Absolute Bankers challenge, Zachariah decides to kiss Molly rather than his current love Catherine Agbaje. How will Catherine and Mitchel respond now that his fellow Islanders are stunned?
Earlier, newbie Sammy approached Molly and said, ‘At the end of the day, I don’t want to come across as too pushy, but I also don’t want to waste my time.’
She replies: ‘I’m not closing myself off, I’m not doing that because it’s way too early, so you don’t have to think I’m out of bounds, because I’m not.’
Love Island continues tomorrow at 9pm on ITV2.
