Love Island viewers predict Molly and Mitchel will WIN the show

After just one episode!

Author: Alex RossPublished 6th Jun 2023

There may have only been one episode of Love Island series 10 so far, but viewers are already predicting this year's winners, after spotting the instant connection between Islanders Molly Marsh and Mitchel Taylor.

Following this year's launch twist, which saw the public decide who coupled up with who, 21-year-old Molly was paired with 26-year-old gas engineer Mitchel, with the duo living just 20 minutes from each other back in the UK!

After witnessing the pair get along brilliantly within the first few hours of knowing each other, and even sharing a kiss during the first challenge, viewers of the show took to social media to share their instant love.

One wrote: 'Have I already chosen Mitchel and Molly as my winners?? Yes I have #LoveIsland', with another adding: 'Mitchel and Molly are the winners already lmaoo #LoveIsland'. (sic)

A third commented: 'molly and mitchel are too good to be true #loveisland', with another writing: '#LoveIsland Molly and Mitchel immediately have my heart 😭'. (sic) Another wrote: 'Molly and Mitchel seem super well suited already. I feel like they’re gonna be out Day 1 couple that lasts til the finale #LoveIsland'. (sic)

Other viewers compared Molly and Mitchel to past couples on the show, including Dani Dyer and Jack Fincham, and Tasha Ghouri and Andrew La Page.

Of course, it's VERY early days for the pair, with eight huge weeks to come, including the now infamous Casa Amor!

Following complaints during the Winter series that the show had become 'boring and predictable', it seems producers are attempting to switch-up this series, dropping a number of twists within the first episode.

As well as allowing the public to match the cast, the boys and girls entered the villa at the same time for the first time in the show's history, and already a new bombshell has arrived in the shape of 25-year-old Zachariah Noble.

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2.
