Omfg wtf

omfg :eek: rip :(

omg I'm speechless

Oh wow, shocked.

Oh no I can’t believe that, shocked

R.I.P. </3

WHAT.

He was one of the stars of LI3

RIP.

I have no words for this at all

oh wow in the woods?

So unexpected r.i.p

Danny, out of respect, use his real full name and not that 'muggy' term the media loved to call him

R.I.P. Suicide I suspect, again for LI. When will this show start giving proper care to it's contestants? I know he was on it years ago but fame can affect people like that. I know we all slaughtered BB for the kind of people they let in and joked about 'psych' tests but at least there's no cases of suicide from it.

Oh my god.

Oh god. I literally can't believe this.

Heard this on Twitter earlier. So sad!

I hate to even post this so I will spoiler it but...

Unfortunately, I think that was the case

Damn 26 years old. And he was dating / broke up with THE Megan McKenna? :eek:

Don't know him but RIP :(

I seen this from Chanelle McCleary's tweet but is there any actual evidence to support it or are people just speculating?

Either way, whatever happened it's all really sad whatever the circumstance. I'm in shock

Purely speculation of course that was why I put it as a spoiler but found in the woods behind his house...it does sound realistic.

Being a villain for reality tv must be horrific :(

Yeah especially when they keep referring to you by that awful nickname. That's not his name and people shouldn't be taking the piss out of him for that.


He wasn't even a bad guy on the show

Yes utterly ! wow what a shocker.

Also being constantly grilled about Jess didn't help things

Changed the thread title from Muggy Mike to Mike Thalassitis and seen Chris Hughes' tweet, hope people weren't offended by the title it was just because it was the name he was most commonly known as since Love Island, not meant in a negative way at all

But that's not his real name tho

:skull: :skull: :skull:

omg what! :(

so so sad, rip mike :love:

Seriously James?

Wow. I mean, I know the aftercare from Big Brother was reportedly a bit of a joke but 19 series did not result in a suicide and yet 5 (?) series of Love Island has now had 2?

Have never watched LI but knew this guy was a big character as I saw him pop up on FB/Twitter every so often.

Shocking news -RIP :(

Grow up

What about dickhead?

Tbh I don't think we can assume he committed suicide (if he even did in the first place) just because of his stint on the show or because viewers speculated that he bedded Jess two years ago...

Who knows what else must've gone in his personal life behind closed doors, the article also mentions that his best friend passed away a few months back.

The point is, the name “Muggy Mike” came around as an insult/jokey nickname for Mike and eventually it just stuck. However, as it was created with an insulting-type intention behind it, it’s a little disrespectful for the Daily Mail to refer to him as solely that in a headline reporting his death.

Apparently he moved in with his Nan to care for her and she died a few days ago

Exactly

You can't be comparing a stage name to a nickname insulting and mocking you

James did the same thing when Sophie died trying to imply she was homophobic. :skull:

Don't feed it.

Dan Wooon has said he spoke to Mike on Thursday, and Mike mentioned he was grieving the loss of his nan who he'd become full time carer to having moved in and looked after her, and she recently died aged 94.

Add this to the loss of his best friend at Christmas, the lack of LI aftercare, the public breakup with Megan. It's a lot on his shoulders bless him.

True, although the fact he was found in woods doesn’t exactly bode well.
