"We were very sad to hear the tragic news about Mike Thalassitis and our thoughts are with his family and friends. “Last year, Mike took part in filming for the next series of Ex On The Beach, which was due to air on MTV later in the year. “In light of the news of Mike’s death, we have decided not to broadcast the planned 10th season of the show.”This follows Love Island's statement and review of their aftercare programme to make sure all contestants get proper guidance both mentally and financially post-villa as well as social media training. This change was brought on by fans and former contestants who hit out at the show for lack of support.
The lack of support was also voiced by British Health Minister Matt Hancock who spoke at a recent health summit in London.
“I am very worried about the support for the mental health of contestants on reality TV shows.
