Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time of their split, Megan said: “I can’t even say why we split. I just feel like we’re both at different point in our lives.

“We both respect each other and we didn’t want it to get nasty or messy. There is only so much you can do in a relationship and when it’s not working you’ve got to take separate routes.

“But I wish him all the luck in the world.”

On Sunday, police confirmed Mike died of suicide by hanging.
