Thalassitis died at the age of 26.
“Love Island” stars have taken to social media to pay tribute to Mike Thalassitis following his shocking death, which was reported earlier Saturday.
The TV favorite, known as “Muggy Mike” by fans, is said to have been found dead in a forest near his home town at the age of 26.
Taking to social media to pay their respects, the stars admitted that they were shocked and devastated to hear of his passing.
Chris Hughes, who appeared in the same series of the ITV2 show as Mike, tweeted: “His name was Mike Thalassitis, and every inch of my heart goes out to his family and friends. A good guy, taken far, far [too] soon.”
Chris was the one who gave Mike his famous nickname after the reality star was branded “muggy” for trying to steal the heart of Olivia Attwood.
Olivia shared a broken heart emoji to her Twitter page, posting a photo of herself with Mike to her Instagram Story and writing: “Literally don’t know what to say. Another one gone too young.
“Thinking of Mike’s family and friends at this horrendous time. You will be missed terribly.”
Her best friend Amber Davies wrote: “I am in utter shock. @MikeThalassitis you were one of the most genuine guy!
“I just can’t believe this! You’ll be missed so much you have no idea.”
Kem Cetinay wrote: “Such heartbreaking news. My thoughts go out to all of Mike’s friends and family.”
Fellow co-star Sam Gowland shared a photo of himself with Mike and added: “Absolutely lost for words.
