Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Thalassitis

This podcast was a long time in the making - but it’s finally here! Montana Brown from Love Island UK is on Mouthing Off this week to discuss her relationship with Alex Beattie on the show, like how she felt finally clicking with someone after four weeks, him telling her he was in love with her, and a look into her past and why it was difficult to reciprocate those words. She’ll tell us how long they dated post-show before breaking up, a few behind-the-scenes tidbits about Love Island, and her opinion on why many of the couples from the show don’t last. Plus, a really important discussion about mental health, reality television aftercare, and the loss of several Love Island cast members to suicide, including her good friend Mike Thalassitis.

You might recognise this week's guest as the cheeky intruder on Love Island Australia, who shared his vulnerabilities with the world. What you might not know, is what a deep thinker this impressive young man is, and how he has managed to overcome a complex early life to become a beam of positivity with a firm belief in the law of attraction. Teddy shared some of the darker times in his life, his thoughts on the impact that appearing on reality television can have on mental health and his link to the tragic story of Love Island UK's Mike Thalassitis.

James Routledge and George Bettany, founders of the mental health startup Sanctus, have been on a mission for the last two years to try and change the perceptions of mental health - with the intention of one day putting the first mental health gym on the high street.They've created this podcast in order to just get people talking more openly about mental health and exploring the never ending list of topics that play into our mental health.Suicide is a topic at Sanctus that we haven't talked about explicitly yet and we know we need to.Whilst we're a brand that perhaps puts more of a focus on the positive side to mental health, it is an element that simply cannot be ignored and with several high-profile suicides in recent months - it felt like the time to do so.James sits down with Sanctus coach, Helen McMillan, and somebody who after one of her close friends took their own life, Amanda Scott started the website ‘Mike's Mates' (link found below). One of the primary reasons that led to his unfortunate death was the difficulty in finding the right help and how confusing the current industry is, so ‘Mike's Mates' is a resource that aims to help bridge that gap.The three explore their personal experiences with suicide - whether through a friend or suicidal thoughts as well as offer their expertise in what to do in a situation where you or someone you know is feeling suicidal.If you require assistance finding the right support for you, the two following links to Amanda's ‘Mike's Mates' and the Sanctus Directory are below.https://www.mikesmates.com/https://sanctus.io/the-sanctus-directory-of-mental-health-services-professionals-eda7d4316a58

Kimberley Bond and Paul Jones chat about the much anticipated return of the ITV2 reality show, discussing the first couples, some new catchphrases, the arrival of a pair of bombshells, the tribute to the late Mike Thalassitis – and, after some savage tweeting about one particular Islander, whether viewers have as much of a duty of care to the contestants as the show’s producers do.

Celebrity Status: Blessing or Curse? After hearing about the passing of former Love Island contestant Mike Thalassitis, due to suicide, we ask the question of whether the pressures of being in the public eye can have a damaging effect on the individual. What do you think?
