Love Island hunk Muggy Mike Thalassitis spotted all over Towie’s Jessica Wright at TV Choice awards sparking relationship rumours
LOVE Island hunk Muggy Mike Thalassitis fuelled relationship rumours at the TV Choice Awards - as he was spotted cuddling, holding hands and flirting with Towie's Jessica Wright.
The reality TV favourite were "inseparable" at Monday night's awards bash and were even seen in a romantic clinch at the after party at The Dorchester Hotel in London.
An onlooker said: "Jess and Mike were all over each other at the bar - they couldn't keep their hands off each other.
"Jess was clearly infatuated with Mike and kept giggling and grabbing onto him.
"And Mike was also very tactile with Jess, holding her hand, nuzzling her neck and buying her drinks.
"They looked very much like an item as they barely left each other's sides as soon as they moved from the awards do into the after party."
Mike also told The Sun that he is keen to find himself a girl - after a string of short-lived on-screen romance with Tyla Carr.
In an exclusive interview, he said: "I'm definitely not on Tinder, I'm not a loser. But yeah right now I'm single and yeah ready to mingle.
"I like female company - if I meet a girl and we hit it off then yeah that would be good.
"But yeah don't get me wrong I like female attention at all times."
Mike is Jess' second Love Island love interest - after the Towie star had a secret romance with Mike's co-star and model Jamie Jewitt.
The pair went on a string of dates and went on a few casual dates in London before Jamie signed up to the ITV2 show.
'Muggy' Mike's intimate night with Jess also comes after The Sun's Bizarre column revealed that Mike is in talks to join Jess' brother, Mark Wright, at football club Billericay FC.
The reality TV hunk later told The Sun about partying with Lottie Moss - and rumours the pair had got together on a night out at Mahiki nightclub in London last month.
He revealed: "I was out with her one night, met her and yeah she's a nice girl. We spoke briefly and had a night.
"She's a good looking girl definitely. I had a good night - a gentleman never kisses and tells."
Despite laying into Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay as fame-hungry, Mike admitted that he is still very close with Johnny Mitchell.
And Mike said he could see Johnny becoming the new Spencer Matthews on Made In Chelsea.
He added: "Obviously he's got whatever he's got going on with Stephanie Pratt now, and she's hot so he's done well there.
"I can see him on Made In Chelsea, I think it would be a breath of fresh air for the show as all they do is sit there and go 'yah yah' and all that but Johnny would be great and he's really upper class."
