Love Island’s Mitch Eliot has publicly asked online trolls to stop making hateful comments about his breakup with Phoebe Spiller.
Mitch and Phoebe split in July 2024 after two years together. They both posted breakup announcements on Instagram at the time, but it wasn’t clear who had ended their relationship.
Since the breakup, Phoebe has taken to social media to post videos of her struggling with the split, including one TikTok video that racked up 1.8 million views.
“Trying to get up and live your life but battling with the confusion because you thought he was the one you’d marry,” she captioned a clip of her crying.
@phoebespiller Reminder that progress isn’t linear and there will be good, great, bad and awful days. For anyone going through something similar – this fkn sucks. But we got this.. ❤️🩹

One day after Phoebe shared the video, Mitch took to his own Instagram account to point out the cruel Instagram comments he’s been receiving.
“After a few recent TikTok’s that have been made. I’ve been flooded with hate comments and DMS. I MEAN FLOODED. This amount of hate under any circumstance is not okay,” he began.
“All because I chose to do the right thing and end a relationship that was obviously not working.
I’ve just been deleting all your comments and messages, so no point trying anymore.”
Mitch encouraged Phoebe’s fans to support her on her Instagram rather than attack him on his page.
“I don’t understand the logic. What did you guys want me to do in this situation? Stay in a relationship that was making us both unhappy?” Mitch said, insinuating that he was the one who broke up with Phoebe.
“You guys are acting like I cheated on the girl, which is far from the truth. The only people who truly know what happened is Phoebe and I so please stop acting like you know.”
Mitch finished the text post by reminding people to be kind online.
“You’re all advocates for mental health until you’re hiding behind your keyboards. I lost a lot from this breakup too, I’m just not posting about it. Remember to be kind. We are all just trying to exist in this world.”
Mitch was spotted with a mystery blonde woman
Phoebe is currently in America on holiday with some friends. Meanwhile, Mitch was spotted in Sydney with another woman.
“Mitch was walking along the Bondi beach promenade with a blonde woman on September 18,” a source told Chattr exclusively.
“It didn’t seem romantic, from what I could tell. He seemed a bit down, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a friend he’s leaning on during this time.”
Breakups are rough; let’s all play nice!
