He caused quite a stir in the Love Island villa last year with his 'muggy' antics, but after leaving without a girlfriend, Mike Thalassitis (AKA Muggy Mike) then appeared on E4's Celebs Go Dating, leaving dating experts Nadia Essex and Eden Blackman annoyed with his behaviour.

But now it looks like Mike has finally found himself a girlfriend, in the form of former The Only Way Is Essex star Megan McKenna.

After weeks of rumours that the pair were dating, Mike confirmed his new romance over the weekend by posting a cute photo of the pair together during a trip to Amsterdam. Alongside the photo, Mike wrote, 'Got there in the end ❤️', seemingly referring to his recent luck in finding love.

Fans were quick to comment on the photo, delighted at the new romance between Megan and Mike. One user wrote, 'Perfect match I swear', with another adding, 'I am super here for this😍😍'.

Another fan then suggested the couple should get their own TV show to document the relationship, writing, 'Yessss! This needs to be on tv!'. sic
