Dominic Lever and Jessica Shears snub the Love Island 2017 final after vowing to ‘never see Mike Thalassitis again’

DOMINIC Lever and Jessica Shears snubbed the Love Island 2017 final after revealing they never wanted to see Mike Thalassitis ever again.

The pair skipped the invite to the live final, and a potentially awkward run in with the footballer, and decided to head out for a swanky dinner in Manchester instead.

Dom, whose partner has denied sleeping with Mike in a hotel room after their island eviction, admitted he'd had had a tense conversation with Mike, who he claimed was "enjoying" the attention that's come his way.

Dom chose to stick by Jess despite fellow islanders telling him about the "clashing" accounts of her 5am liaison with Mike, and now it seems he's turned against Mike for good.

He told : "The meeting between me and Mike wasn't good.

"I told him we'd never be friends.

"He is a smug person and he's getting what he wants out of the situation, which is to be in the public eye.

"He might stir it with the public, but he wouldn't stir it with me.

"He knew I was serious and he wouldn't p*** me about."

Asked what he and Mike said to each other, he added: "I asked him to tell me the truth and he told me the same story as her.

"Jess is tactile and the pictures were twisted. I know that now.

"We won't be seeing him again."

In tonight's live final, Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies were revealed as the winner's of the competition.

Camilla Thurlow and Jamie Jewitt came second, while Chris Hughes and Olivia Attwood came third and Marcel Somerville and Gabby Allen were placed in fourth.
