Reality star Mario Falcone has opened up about the death of his friend Mike Thalassitis.
The 31-year-old told new! magazine that before his death, Mike was “really struggling.”
Star of The Only Way Is Essex, Mario says that losing him “really hurt” him.
“Losing Mike Thalassitis really hurt me because we used to talk loads. And he was the same age as me when I tried, so his death really hit home”
“I remember speaking to him at an event last year and he said he was really struggling,” he said.
“We messaged and he wanted to go for lunch, but we’d just had [his son] Parker and I couldn’t leave [his fiancée] Becky.”
“But he told me it had got better, so his death was quite shocking. Something must have happened that week or night that triggered it.”
Love Island star Mike Thalasittis died by suicide in March 2019.
The 26-year-old was found unresponsive at a park near his home in North London.
