The post went viral and has been retweeted 4,000 times and liked by 12,000 users, some of whom were more sympathetic thatn others.
Muggy Mike immediately hit back, saying:
Your Mrs has mugged you off here son, not me!
ITVThalassitis got his nickname following his Love Island antics last summer after he dated Tyne Lexi, Montana Brown, Jess Shears and Olivia Attwood on ITV‘s Love Island.
Pollard, who is the reigning beauty pageant winner of Miss Shropshire, has not yet publicly responded to the controversy.
But her latest tweet, posted on January 25, shares a link to the Celebs Go Dating trailer along with the caption: ‘This is going to be interesting…’
The message is accompanied by the eyes emoji, which say it all:
This is going to be interesting… ? https://t.co/lxEO5OZuwr

She has received a lot of abuse from the Twitter jury, some of whom have branded her a ‘slag’, with Shanice Banstead adding, ‘So you cheat on your bf and promote it’, with a sick emoji.
Mike will be joined on Celebs Go Dating by TOWIE star Gemma Collins, Olympic champion Jade Jones and comedian London Hughes.
