Rumours of a romance between the two reality stars have been rife for weeks.
And Megan McKenna and Mike Thalassitis finally confirmed their new relationship with a PDA-filled romantic break to Tenerife over the weekend, putting on a very tactile display on their hotel balcony.
The former TOWIE star, 25, couldn’t keep her hands off the shirtless hunk – who became known for his sneaky, womanising ways during his stint on Love Island last summer, earning himself the nickname ‘Muggy Mike’.
It’s official! Megan McKenna and Mike Thalassitis finally confirmed their new relationship with a PDA-filled romantic break to Tenerife over the weekend, putting on a very tactile display
Megan looked incredible in a leopard print bikini top and mismatched black bottoms with a high-rise cut to show off her long legs.
The skimpy thong two-piece highlighted her tiny waist and her peachy posterior as she enjoyed a glass of bubbly on the balcony alongside a rather smug-looking Mike.
She piled her brunette locks up into a top knot, accessorising with a gold pendant and matching hoop earrings.
Mike – who initially set his sights on Megan’s pal Olivia Attwood during his time in the Love Island villa – showed off his rippling abs in a pair of shorts while relaxing in the winter sun.

The pair were seen getting very hands on as they enjoyed some alone time, with Mike grabbing hold of Megan’s derriere as they kissed and giggled on their hotel balcony.
The reality stars – who have yet to officially comment on their relationship – certainly looked like an item, and weren’t afraid to show their affection for one another.
This marks Megan’s first real romance since splitting from her on/off boyfriend Pete Wicks last year.
Mike was linked to a host of Love Island stars including Danielle Sellers, but the bad boy of reality TV has remained resolutely single – until now.

Mike previously confirmed rumours he had taken Megan on dates – but didn’t comment on whether they were officially an item.
During an appearance on Good Morning Britain last month, presenter Susanna Reid grilled Mike about whether he was dating Megan, to which he bashfully replied: ‘Erm, we did go on a date, that came out on Valentine’s Day.’
Mike – who kept coy about their relationship status – insisted that despite his Lothario reputation, he would like to settle down and is ‘open’ to finding love.

Learning from past mistakes? Megan appeared to be checking Mike’s phone – a wise move since her ex Pete Wicks’ sexting scandal previously left her heartbroken
He said: ‘I’m 25, I don’t want to be single for ever. I’m very open minded , if I did find someone on [Celebs Go Dating]. I would be open to it. I have been searching for love for 24 years off TV, it was alright to be fair.’
But her flourishing romance with the hunky Love Island alumni appeared to be getting hotter by the day after they were spotted checking into a central London hotel earlier this month.
Sources revealed exclusively to MailOnline that the good-looking pair were seen heading into the Baker Street establishment as rumours of their new love reach fever pitch while Mike’s stint on Celebs Go Dating aired on E4.
