The upcoming series of MTV's Ex on the Beach will no longer air, following the tragic death of Mike Thalassitis earlier this week.
MTV has confirmed that the 10th series of the reality show – which Mike featured in – will not be broadcast in light of his passing.
In a statement to MailOnline, the channel said: "We were very sad to hear the tragic news about Mike Thalassitis and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
"Last year, Mike took part in filming for the next series of Ex on the Beach, which was due to air on MTV later in the year. In light of the news of Mike's death, we have decided not to broadcast the planned 10th season of the show."
Mike had appeared in a number of popular reality series but found fame on ITV's Love Island, which has since been criticised by a number of former cast members over its aftercare system.
In a statement to Digital Spy on Tuesday (March 19), ITV said that everyone at Love Island was "so shocked and absolutely devastated" by the news of Thalassitis' death.
What to Read Next
ITV said that it was not its place to "speculate" over the circumstances surrounding Thalassitis' death, which the police have confirmed is not being treated as suspicious.
The broadcaster went on to announce that it will be "extending" its existing aftercare process for Love Island, confirming that it will "offer therapy to all Islanders and not only those that reach out to us".

It continued: "We will be delivering bespoke training to all future Islanders to include social media and financial management. The key focus will be for us to no longer be reliant on the islanders asking us for support but for us to proactively check in with them on a regular basis."
In the wake of Thalassitis' death at the weekend, Celebs Go Dating paid an on-air tribute, while the likes of Made in Chelsea's Sam Thompson, Montana Brown, and Mike's ex-girlfriend Megan McKenna have also shared their memories.
