Love Island’s Mike Thalassitis looks completely different in baby-faced throwback shot shared by previous contestant Luis Morrison
THEY both made a name for themselves in the antic-filled Love Island villa – but on separate series.
And it seems that contestants Mike Thalassitis and Luis Morrison met long before “Muggy Mike” went on the ITV2 hit show this year, as a comical throwback shot demonstrates.
Luis Morrison, 23, posted an image of him and Mike on a night out at a club, and Mike looks noticeably more baby-faced as he poses for the camera.
Luis, who recently split from his Love Island girlfriend Cally Jane Beech weeks after their daughter was born, uploaded the shot with the caption: “Let's throw it back! WAYYYY BACK.”
But the fresh-faced photo is the least embarrassing thing on Mike’s mind at the moment.
Jeremy Kyle is offering muggy Mike Thalassitis big money to take a lie detector test to prove he didn’t sleep with Jess Shears after leaving the Love Island villa.
The Sun Online exclusively revealed that Jess and Mike had a night of passion at a hotel just hours after they were given the boot from the show.
Mike has denied a tryst took place with Jess, who is keen to make a go of things with her villa beau Dom Lever.

But now, Mike, 24, has the chance to finally let fans know the truth by taking the test live on Jeremy’s weekday show.
However, a friend of the reality star reckons he’s got bigger fish to fry after finding fame on the smash hit show.
The pal said: “He’s never going to do it. It’s too low rent for Mike.
“He’s got bigger stuff going on.”
Mike has always publicly insisted he and Jess didn’t do the deed, saying: “[Dom is] lucky that I didn’t try to stick it on her.”

One source says they bumped into Mike, 24, in the Ocean Beach club toilets and confronted him over the rumour.
When they suggested he did sleep with her, the Cypriot international reportedly told him he was a “very clever man” and winked at him.
Another tourist said he saw Mike “bouncing” around the tourist hotspot “telling everyone he banged” Jess.
Mike denied the claims in a statement posted on his Twitter account.
The Love Island star recently came under fire for trolling his co-star Montana Brown after she started a live video on Instagram.
The professional footballer told her: “Nobody cares what you have to say,” when she asked her followers whether they had any questions for her.”
