Mike Thalassitis dies: Love Island criticised after contestant's death at 26

Thalassitis' appearance on series three in 2017 earned him the nickname"Muggy Mike" after partnering with fellow contestant Chris Hughes's girlfriend, Olivia Attwood.

You get a psychological evaluation before and after you go on the show but hands down once you are done on the show you don’t get any support unless you’re number oneFollowing his death, a spokesman for ITV, which produces Love Island, said:"Everyone at ITV2 and Love Island are shocked and saddened by this terrible news.One of the show's stars said after the programme ends, the contestants only get support if they are"number one".

Shows offer you ‘support’ but realistically it’s only while you are in their care. Minute you get home & are no longer making them money it’s out of sight out of mind. There should be ongoing support & also finacial advice. Life after these shows isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.Fellow Love Island contestant Jess Shears, who is married to Lever, tweeted:"Shows offer you 'support' but realistically it's only while you are in their care.

Kady McDermott from series two posted:"Hopefully going forward reality shows will help more with the aftermath of being on one, because I can say it definitely didn't happen after my series when lots of us needed it.If I didn’t have a strong head on me that my mum passed down to me, I wouldn’t have been able to cope with this all. But not everyone is like this.

Maybe people should think carefully before taking part in programmes of this nature ,rather than asking for support afterwards.

Great ad placement sky.

Absolutely devastated Who is he?

Don't know who he is, but prayers to his family at this difficult time,

If people actually tried to work for a living instead of the quick fix, fast money of minor celebrity by going on these shows then maybe these things wouldn't happen. Nothing wrong in having self respect and working hard for your money.

The Love Island curse strikes again

R.I.P so sad 😢🙏🏽💫.

It must be time to look at the mental health of young adults willing to have sex on tv for attention. You need to be exceptionally robust to stand up to the scrutiny and most people aren’t. It’s a disgraceful show. LoveIsland

What has love island got to do with it? Its well documented he was struggling with the loss of his nan, which also has no bearing on any personal issues he was facing

Blame the morons that are obsessed by 'celebrity' culture. Without them shows like Love Island wouldn't need to exist
