Caroline Flack addresses rumours she’s dating Love Island star Mike Thalassitis

The two have sparked speculation after sharing intimate photos

Ever since Love Island finished a week ago fans have been convinced that Mike Thalassitis could be a new love interest for Caroline Flack after the pair shared snaps of each other looking very cosy.

Caroline, 37, has made it no secret that she finds Mike, 24, attractive.

But now Caroline’s rep has denied that they are having a secret fling.

Writing on Twitter the star’s representative said: “There is no truth in the rumours that @carolineflack1 is having a ‘secret relationship’ with @MikeThalassitis. They are just friends.”

This comes after the two were uploading very intimate photos of each other and people claiming the pair have a “genuine connection”.

A source told The Daily Star: “Things are hotting up. They are texting and have a genuine connection but Caroline’s not stupid – she knows he’s loving life and girls since leaving the villa.

“But things could progress further once the Love Island madness calms down.”

It’s also believed that fellow islander Tyla Carr, who left the villa coupled up with Mike, was left fuming after Mike “pursued” other girls, including Caroline, once they left Spain.

A source told The Sun: “Tyla and Mike didn’t speak once at the reunion party. Even though she looked beautiful in a white dress and was attracting loads of male attention, Mike stayed away from her all night.

“Everybody noticed they didn’t make any contact at all, which was strange considering Tyla had only said the previous week that she wanted to give things with Mike a chance.

“It was really noticeable that they weren’t on good terms anymore.

“Tyla then told pals that she was pretty mad because Mike had ditched her so he could pursue other girls – including Caroline. She wasn’t that happy to find out Mike’s been sending flirty messages to Caroline.”

Mike shared a picture of him and Caroline looking VERY cosy at the Love Island after-party last week alongside a cryptic caption.

In the photo Caroline leaned in towards Mike sticking her tongue out.

Mike wrote: “Who really won Love Island,” alongside a winking emoji and Caroline’s Instagram handle.

Fans have been speculating that the couple are secretly seeing each other while others are desperate for the two to couple up.

One fan said: “I want them to get together 😍.”

“I predict that Flack & Mike are gonna get it on! ❤️,” another added

A third agreed: “All those in favour of @carolineflack and @mike_thala coupling up? 😂🔥.”

Caroline and Mike have also been spotted ‘liking’ each other’s photo – one including a bikini snap of Caroline soaking up the sun.

But sadly it seems nothing is happening between the pair.
