News about Mike Thalassitis

Mike Thalassitis' parents have spoken out about his tragic suicide on the fifth anniversary of his death, claiming that ITV should have given him better care after Love Island. Mike died at the age of 26 in March 2019, after being a hit reality show on series three in 2017. He was discovered dead in a park near his north London home, where he left notes to his family announcing his intention to murder himself.

For the forthcoming All Stars collection, ITV has lifted their ban on Love Island contestants from posting on social media pages. MailOnline has learned that executives have subscribed to the belief that because the contestants appeared on the programme before, they have seen the 'pitfalls and disadvantages' associated with being on social media sites such as Instagram and Twitter. According to reports, the channel's stars, who have been speculated to be able to choose whether they want to remain or not, will have the option of whether they want to stay or not.

Last week, the Big Brother UK revival came to an end, with Jordan Sangha being named the winner and walking away with the £100,000 award. The redesigned series attracted a loyal following, but it was unable to set the ratings alive, with the housemates' antics not strong enough to draw in some of the series's old followers. On the other hand of the world, Big Brother Australia is in full swing after launching a series 15 last month that featured the'sexiest housemates in Australia.' Though the show is not available in the United Kingdom, clips of the wild antics have gone viral online, with Brits being stunned by their Australian counterparts' strange behaviour. However, it's not just Big Brother Australia that has sparked eyebrows, with Australian versions of shows such as Married At First Sight, Love Island, and Real Housewives also enthralling British audiences with their drama, scandals, and saucy scenes. Now MailOnline looks at the key differences between British reality shows and their Australian counterparts.

In two images shared on Instagram on Wednesday, the reality star, 27, smiled for a close-up selfie in a zebra-print outfit. As she posed for the daring photographs, she displayed a hint of cleavagery. The reality actress let her natural beauty shine, showcasing her golden tan when going make-up free. As she enjoyed her holiday, she wore her brunette locks loose and straight. 'At my happiest' Coco wrote in the article.'

Coco Lodge has retaliated against trolls who mocked her appearance after she appeared on Love Island. The reality star, 27, described her experience on the show as a 'rollercoaster,' and that after being booted, she had to make 'brutal' remarks. "I have also had to deal with the negative aspects of being in the public eye, particularly when they have been so cynical about my appearance, which can sometimes make you question yourself.'

Warning: this article contains a warning of suicide. Please proceed with caution. ITV has announced new care steps for this year's contestants as we brace for winter "Love Island" 2023, which will be available this month. ITV has announced that this year's group of Islanders, the first showcased by Maya Jama, will "pause social media usage for [the] duration of the series] and that "received education on behaviour in relationships" will be provided.

On Friday, Love Island revealed their new duty of care steps for 2023, ahead of next month's series in South Africa. After a turbulent summer series in 2022, ITV2 would ban Islanders' social media usage during the series and will provide additional education on behaviour in relationships. This year, Love Island has received more than 5,000 Ofcom reports, with viewers sharing their dissatisfaction with'misogynistic behaviour and bullying.'

Married After viewers expressed skepticism about a number of scenes that aired in this year's film, First Sight UK has been accused of prioritizing ratings over participants' wellbeing. Although viewers were encouraged by experts to be 'intimate' with each other, they then became uncomfortable (pictured inset and top right) and apparently plied with booze at explosive dinner parties, viewers were plagued with safeguarding questions. In the meantime, concerns about the completeness of background checks have surfaced after allegations of emotional abuse against George Roberts (pictured left) surfaced earlier this week. Dr. Charlotte Proud, an award-winning barrister, told MailOnline that 'there needs to be a better way to put contestants' safety and well-being above viewer ratings,' but that currently it is 'the other way around.'

After the show ends, Maura Higgins and Olivia Attwood are said to be on a 'wish list' to appear on a new exposé docuseries about the lives of Love Island contestants. According to reports, the project will be called Reality Check: Life After The Limelight, which will include exclusive interviews with contestants from the ITV dating game. Maura, 31, one of the most prominent actors to come out of the villa, is expected to host Big Brother's ITV2 revival, while Olivia, 31, fronts her own series, Getting Filthy Rich for the channel.

Coco Lodge was firmly struck out at cruel internet trolls who mocked her for her appearance after her co-star Cheyanne Kerr posted a video of the pair enjoying a holiday together in Ibiza. Coco, a former Casa Amor bombshell who was 27 years old at the time, decided to stay in when the majority of her pals went out clubbing on the Spanish island during their holiday, with the reality star speaking out about her journey in a YouTube video shared on Thursday. Coco says that Cheyanne's TikTok followers were quick to praise her in the clip, but Coco described Coco as 'ugly,' implying she looked like a man.

Exclusive Now that the stars of this year's series of Love Island have returned to the real world, you may assume they are looking forward to a life of luxury. With all family dramas left in the villa and swaths of lucrative brand deals sitting in their DMs, it seems that any pre-fame issues must have been addressed. However, summer of love may not have introduced them to a new set of challenges they are not prepared for. Millions of reality TV enthusiasts watched the contestants laugh, cry, and 'crack on' every night, developing their own views over the past eight weeks. Dr. Audrey Tang, a chartered psychologist, told the MailOnline how quickly becoming one of the country's most talked-about figures could have a bearing on the contestants' mental stability. She also explained why they might have such a fanbase and trolls.

A whopping five million viewers tuned in to "Love Island"'s debut episode in June as a new group of singletons stepped into the villa with hopes of a long, hot summer ahead of them. The antics of the islanders dominate conversations and WhatsApp chats around the region, with burgeoning, faithful followers, as well as passionate thoughts shared on social media. Reactions and memes that have been posted online are part of a bingeworthy display, but these posts have gone beyond the point. Tasha Ghouri, the first deaf contestant on "Love Island" was abused, and this was the most notable of her abuse. The 23-year-old was born deaf and wears a cochlear implant in her right ear. Ghouri, a dancer and model, told The Daily Mail that if she wins the competition, she will donate 50% of the £50,000 award to the National Deaf Children's Society.
