The 26-year-old was also a contestant on Celebs Go Dating and a former semi-professional footballer for Stevenage.
Thalassitis was born in London and had spells playing football for the Cyprus youth squads at under-19 and 21 level.
Best known for his appearance on ITV2’s Love Island, he entered the show 10 days after it started in 2017, and was knocked out before the show ended.

His name is Mike Thalassitis. All the articles how dare you not use his real name. This is horrendous. I’m in shock. Mike you are going to be sorely sorely missed. My heart is with your family. I’m in complete shock ❤️
