Jess Shears was accused of being intimate with ‘Muggy Mike’ Thalassitis after she left Love Island and her boyfriend Dom Lever remained on the show.
But Jess, 23, made a playful reference to the handsome chap when she ‘tied the knot’ with her now fiancé Dom, 26, during a Valentine’s Day themed Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.
The couple stripped down to minimal clothing as they entered into a playful ceremony with presenter Richard Arnold, who had been ordained for the occasion.

Jess then said her vows, which made reference to Muggy Mike after she was accused of being intimate with him behind Dom’s back when she left the villa.
She said: ‘I will not pie you off, even if Muggy Mike comes along.’
Mike implied that something did happen when he and Jess met up after the show, although it’s something she has denied.
He was barraged with questions from the other Love Islanders about whether he slept with Jess, during a post-show interview.
Alex Beattie asked him: ‘Was it true or not?’
Mike smiled and look down before muttering: ‘Nothing, nah,’ before bursting into laughter and telling them: ‘I’m not saying.’
The hunk, who has vehemently denied the rumours previously, added: ‘It’s not true. It was nothing.’
Viewers remained unconvinced by his denial, saying that it was getting ’embarrassing’.
‘Mike and Jess defo banged he’s making it sooo obvious!’ one wrote.
‘When Mike is asked about Jess he says nothing happened, but looks down every time! He’s lying!’ an other added.
‘When is Jess and mike going to admit they did it… Dom needs to wake up and smell the coffee it’s embarrassing,’ a third viewer penned.
