LOVE ISLAND star Mike Thalassitis has hit back at Margate boss Steve Watt after his exit from the hit TV show saying he doesn’t ‘give a s***’.
Thalassitis was criticised by non-league manager Watt after the forward chose to find love in a villa in Majorca, rather than take part in pre-season training.
The 24-year-old was voted off of Love Island on Wednesday evening – meaning he will be able to return to football.
Thalassitis told MailOnline: “I have no regrets. And I couldn’t talk to my coach before going on the show anyway, as you have to keep it quiet.
“But I couldn’t give a s*** if he said that about me. I can easily get on another team. It’s just a shame that this hasn’t paid off, I was only in there for a f****** week!”
This comes after the Margate boss said: “I wouldn’t say I’m fuming to be honest. The disappointing factor is he hasn’t let me know.

“It’s not an ideal situation for me. I’d have appreciated at least a call to say he would be going on the show.
“It’s laughable. I didn’t think I’d be sitting in this position with one of my players going onto a TV show and potentially missing preseason.
“Look, he’s a young good-looking lad and he’s going to go in and have a bit of fun I’d imagine. As along as it doesn’t affect anything down in Margate, then I won’t have a problem with it.”
