Celebs Go Dating star Pete Wicks has pledged his support to ex-girlfriend Megan McKenna after the death of her former boyfriend Mike Thalassitis.
Megan and Mike dated for a period last year before they split amicably, while Pete and Megan had a highly-publicised relationship and break-up back in 2017.
Now, Pete has buried the hatchet and shared a touching message showing his support for Megan.

"It's a really tragic thing and I feel for Mike's family and friends. It's been a big shock to everyone but especially Megan, given their history," Pete told The Mirror.
"Everyone always saw me and Megan as being a nightmare and toxic, which in a relationship we were. But she's a lovely person. I might not be the best boyfriend but I'm a good friend. Whatever she needs, I'm there."

In the wake of Mike's death, ITV has committed to changing Love Island's aftercare process for cast members in future series.
"This review has led us to extend our support processes to offer therapy to all Islanders and not only those that reach out to us," ITV said in a statement to Digital Spy.
"And 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."
We would encourage anyone who identifies with the topics raised in this article to reach out. Organisations who can offer support include Samaritans on 116 123 (www.samaritans.org), and Mind on 0300 123 3393 (www.mind.org.uk). Readers in the US are encouraged to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline on 1-800-273-8255 or visit the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
