They were a rollercoaster ride of emotion in the Love Island villa, but now Tyla Carr and Jonny Mitchell are closer than ever. Still, their closeknit friendship doesn’t mean Tyla is going easy on her mate as he battles it out for glory in the Celebrity Big Brother house. In fact, she isn’t all that impressed with how Jonny is acting on the Channel 5 show and thinks he can do much better to avoid eviction. ‘I don’t think he’s being himself,’ Tyla told Metro.co.uk. ‘I think a lot of people who watched Love Island will think he’s being Jonny, but it’s not him. ‘Its Year of the Woman, he’s got a lot of opinions, and political opinions, I don’t understand why he’s not getting involved more. ‘Maybe he’s against a lot of strong characters he doesn’t want to fight for conversation.
‘I think he’s trying to keep out of trouble and keep everyone happy, but that’s not what it’s about when you’re in there.’ Jonny and Tyla had a fleeting love affair during their time on the ITV2 reality belter last summer, but now she firmly said they’re ‘just friends’ – even though they grew close after re-entering the real world. So much so she’ll be waiting for him on the outside once he leaves the show. ‘Nothing major happened to us in the Love Island house, so we chat, he talks to me about things and I talk to him about things; we’re in a very friendly friendship. It’s nice that something came from it.
