HE was one of the biggest stars of the TV hit Love Island.

Now Mike Thalassitis is making his way to Southampton for a special appearance at Ninety Degrees tomorrow night.

Known as ‘Magic Mike’, the semi professional footballer, has a handful of international caps for Cyprus.

He was rarely out of the spotlight on the recent series of the ITV show, which sent a group of singletons to a luxurious Spanish villa for a summer of passion – and money-making.

The contestants were encouraged to pair up and convince the public they had found love, while attempting to win £50,000.

Despite being booted out with Jessica Shears, Mike later returned to the villa, but was soon evicted for a second time.

He hasn’t been out of the tabloid headlines since the series ended last week, appearing to confirm a relationship between him and Caroline Flack after they were seen together at the show’s wrap party .

Mike, who also earned the nickname Muggy Mike after attempting to steal Chris Hughes’ girlfriend Olivia Attwood in the villa, has been rumoured to be getting close to the show’s host ever since he was voted out.

He will make a personal appearance at the venue, in Carlton Place, which is hosting the ultimate Love Island party.

DJ PDOTB -V- DJ FLASH will be performing at Ninety Degrees while DJ MR BEATZ plays Penthouse upstairs.
