Meanwhile, Mike's sobbing Love Island co-star Montana Brown broke down in tears on Monday's This Morning as she remembered Mike.  


Speaking on the ITV morning stalwart, the reality star admitted that the former footballer was going through a 'really rough time' due to a 'lack of work and a big tax bill'.   


The London native, 23, said that Mike, who appeared on the 2017 instalment of the ITV2 reality series, was going to a therapist before his untimely death but claimed that he wasn't getting what he wanted out of the sessions.

Montana added that the Thalassitis family gave her their blessing to speak about Mike on TV, and admitted his relatives have been left 'shocked' by his passing.


She said: 'I spoke to Mike dad's yesterday because I wanted to respect their wishes in coming here and speaking. They're as shocked as I am because I think they feel the same.'  


She told presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: 'He had a big tax bill to pay, and he thought this celebrity life isn't what it’s cracked up to be. [But] he had this cafe that he was going to open, and it was like why now.'


'And then I gave him the "The Magic", which is obviously a spiritual book. I was kind of at my wits end. And I thought, "Something really terrible is going to happen if I don't do something." '

Discussing his tragic death, Montana broke down as she admitted was 'kicking' herself for not replying to the reality star's last message before his untimely death.


She said through tears: '[I last heard from him] Two days before. I'm actually kicking myself. He text me, and I didn't actually reply just because I'm really bad on my phone.


'And I think you just overthink everything, like what you do. I just wish I had replied. He just said, "How's it going, how are you?" And I didn't reply.'

Since Mike's death, Love Island bosses have now confirmed that they have been working on overhauling their reality show aftercare policy after former star Sophie Gradon was also found dead, aged 32, in June last year. 


In a lengthy statement released on Tuesday, just days after Mike's death, producers confirmed they would change policies to ensure that all Islanders are offered support before, during and after their time on the show, as well as social media and finance management training.

LOVE ISLAND STATEMENT IN FULL 



Everyone at Love Island is so shocked and absolutely devastated with the tragic news of Mike Thalassitis.


The Mike we knew was a remarkable and charismatic young man who made a huge impression both on the Love Island team and on viewers of the show. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with his family and friends at this difficult time.


When something so awful happens it is natural to enter a period of soul searching and ask whether anything could have been done to help avoid something so terrible happening. It is not for us to speculate on the reasons behind this tragedy and what is so heartbreaking is that we simply cannot know.


Our show put Mike in the spotlight with all the ups and downs that brings. Mike’s TV career took off with Love Island and he went on to take part in other reality shows as his career grew.


Since the terrible news there have been a lot of people questioning Love Island’s processes and aftercare. Many of the things that have been said about them bear no relation to the support we offer. We want to outline our care processes.


As the show has grown ever more popular and our Islanders get increased attention in an ever changing landscape, each series we evolve the support we give them.


Our duty of care is a continuous and ongoing process for each Islander. This follows three key stages; pre-filming, filming, and aftercare. We work with both an independent GP and a psychological consultant to provide an assessment of the physical and mental health of each of the shortlisted cast members and their suitability for inclusion on the programme.


The medical team also contacts each Islander’s GP to check they feel that person is able to take part. We ask for full disclosure from potential cast members to these health professionals so that so that we can support them appropriately. As TV producers, we rely on medical experts to assess both mental and physical health to ensure that each candidate is suitable for inclusion.


Care continues whilst the Islanders are in the villa. We have a medical team on location which includes a psychological consultant. They not only look after Islanders’ healthcare needs, but also monitor them to check that there are no emerging signs of any problems developing whilst they are in the villa. Additionally, several of our senior team, who monitor the cast around the clock, have been trained in mental health first aid.


When the time comes for each Islander to leave the show, our aftercare process kicks in. Every Islander has a series of debrief meetings on location with the executive team and the medical team, including the psychological consultant. After this, they are told how to access after care support as well as information on seeking professional representation. They also meet with the press team the day after leaving the villa and are briefed and advised on their press coverage whilst in the villa.


We have had requests for help from former Islanders, and have provided this.


We have always recognised that this should be an evolving process and six months ago we engaged Dr Paul Litchfield, an experienced physician and a Chief Medical Officer, to independently review our medical processes on Love Island. He has extensive experience of working with large companies and Government in the area of mental health.


This review has led us to extend our support processes to offer therapy to all Islanders and not only those that reach out to us. And we will be delivering bespoke training to all future Islanders to include social media and financial management.


The key focus will be for us to no longer be reliant on the islanders asking us for support but for us to proactively check in with them on a regular basis.


Having said all of this about Love Island we must not lose sight of the wider issue which is the importance of the conversation on mental health. Across ITV we have worked with a number of charities including CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) on Project 84 and with Samaritans and CALM on Coronation Street, tackling the issue of male suicide. 


Conversations about mental health have never been more important.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
