Who is Jonny Mitchell? Evicted Celebrity Big Brother 2018 housemate and Love Island star

JONNY Mitchell entered the Celebrity Big Brother 2018 house after his infamous Love Island adventure last year.

The dashing chap first rose to fame in the notorious villa and enjoyed romances with Camilla Thurlow and Tyla Carr. Here's everything you need to know about the CBB star who was booted out just a week before the final.

Who is Jonny Mitchell, how old is he and what's his background?

Jet-setter Jonny Mitchell is a 26-year-old business director hailing from Essex.

He believed his Love Island USP was his globetrotting lifestyle – Jonny travels so much that he says he "pretty much lives abroad", so was more than happy to be away from home.

The Lothario said he's spent the past year "making up for lost time" after splitting up with his fiancee, who he'd been with for five years and proposed to in the romantic tropical island of Bali.

It's perhaps understandable then that Jonny previously admitted some former flames might label him a "commitaphobe", adding that he's broken a few hearts in his time.

During his stint in the show, it emerged that Jonny may have been keeping a secret from the other islanders.

He was up for eviction on in the first week of Celebrity Big Brother 2018 but he survived to see another week in the house as India Willoughby was sent home.

But it all came to an end for Jonny as he got the axe on the same night as Andrew Brady.

How was Jonny dumped from Love Island?

Jonny and Tyla found themselves going head-to-head for a place in the villa after receiving the fewest votes from the public.

But in a cruel twist, they were asked to make the decision on who would be dumped from the island.

Insisting that he'd "had his time", Jonny assured Tyla that he would bow out of the show, leaving her behind.

The pair had just rekindled their romance when Jonny "dumped" himself, but he promised to wait for her on the outside.

Instead, Jonny had a dalliance with another islander Chyna Ellis after the show, before dumping her live on air.

He'd cheated on her with multiple women despite them going on holiday together.

Is Jonny still in a relationship with Stephanie Pratt?

Soon after leaving Love Island, Jonny struck up a romance with Made in Chelsea star Stephanie Pratt.

A source told The Sun Online: "Steph and Jonny have split - things are over for now. She's being very secretive about what happened but I think they had a big row the other night and it's all off between them"

Jonny confirmed the split in a statement that read: "Jonny Mitchell and Stephanie Pratt have ended their relationship.

"Jonny has fond memories of the times they spent together and wishes Stephanie all the best of luck in the future."
