Megan released a statement on Twitter on Monday afternoon to offer condolences to his family, two days after Mike's death.
She wrote: 'Sorry I haven't been on social media but I'm in complete shock and trying to come to terms with this.
'I can't believe I'm even writing this post. My thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family. Rest in peace Mike x'
Mike and Megan dated on and off throughout 2018, but ended their relationship for good last August.
Megan previously defended the reality star, insisting that he was not a 'nasty' person and there was no other explanation for their break-up than being at 'different points in their lives.'

Just weeks before his passing this weekend, Megan became emotional when speaking about her relationship with Mike, while looking for love on Celebs Go Dating.
In an episode of the E4 dating show that aired in February, the former TOWIE star began to cry before saying she did not want to discuss it further.
Megan said: 'I think my last relationship, I was kind of... I think I definitely fell in love.'
She continued: 'I don't really want to talk about it, sorry. But I feel that's all I want, I want that love back.'

Mike and Megan dated for seven months on and off but ultimately confirmed their separation seven months ago.
They were first romantically linked in February 2018 when they jetted off to spend Valentine's Day together in Amsterdam.
On why they ended things, Megan previously said: 'We just feel like we're both at different point in our lives.
'We both respect each other and we didn't want it to get nasty or messy.
'There is only so much you can do in a relationship and when it's not working you've got to take separate routes.'

Megan was previously in a relationship with fellow TOWIE reality star Pete Wicks, but it ended in a fiery argument aired on the ITVBe reality show.
She continued: 'I wish [Mike] all the luck in the world, he's not a nasty person. Everything happens for a reason.
'It wasn't one of those break-ups like ones I've had in the past where it was really bitter and nasty, this was more a decision we made together.
'The way I dealt with things in the past with my exes was by screaming and that was not a good way to deal with it.'
Metropolitan Police confirmed that Mike was found hanged in a park in Edmonton, North London on Saturday morning.
Mike's manager confirmed the shock news of his passing later that evening.
The former League One footballer enjoyed a successful playing career before appearing on season three of the revamped dating show Love Island in 2017.
He rose to fame for his exploits in the villa and went on to search for love again in E4's Celebs Go Dating, months before Megan appeared on the same show.

Speaking to MailOnline on Monday, Mike's grandmother Rose Leitlands said the star's death is 'like a nightmare'.
Speaking at her home in Poole, Dorset, his 89-year-old nan, admitted: 'I just can't believe it.
'There was no reason for it and I keep thinking I'm going to wake up. I have nothing else to say'.
Messages of support for Megan flooded in after she broke her silence on social media on Monday.
One follower said: 'You're the first person I think that I've seen that's actually said rest in peace... May peace be with you as it also is with him now...
'It must be so hard for you as well... We're all thinking of you Meg it must be so hard for you... it's shocking for people who didn't know him let alone those who did, I can't imagine how you feel. so very sad...'
Another said: 'Absolutely awful poor @mike_thala.. so sad he felt he had no1 to turn to... Thinking of his friends and family at this sad time x @megan_mckenna_ x...'
Condolences: Love Island stars formerly coupled up with Mike in the villa in 2017 said they too were in shock when they sent tributes immediately after the news on Saturday evening
A representative for Megan McKenna has been contacted by MailOnline for further comment.
Mike's former love interest Tyla Carr, 26, who was partnered up with the star on Love Island two years ago, was one of the first to share kind words in a tribute on Saturday night.
She tweeted: 'I can't believe the call I've just had. Mike, you were loved by all of the Love island family.
'You'll be missed so much. All my love goes out to your friends and family. Shocked.'

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.
