Former TOWIE star Megan McKenna has addressed the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend Mike Thalassitis last month.

The 26-year-old Love Island star was found dead in a park near his Essex home in March, and now Megan has explained she's 'doing okay' following the devastating news.

Speaking on Loose Women, Megan said, "I’m doing okay, thank you for asking. I’ve actually just come back from Nashville because I’ve been out there. I’ve been putting everything into my work.

"I’ve been focusing on my work, writing my music and I feel like Nashville is my happy place."

Asked if working on music acts as 'therapy' to her, Megan explained, "Yeah, it is. Writing music is like therapy to me because it’s like writing everything down in a diary. It’s definitely my way of getting all my emotions and feelings out on paper."

This all comes after Megan posted an emotional tribute to Mike on her Instagram page last month.

She said, 'Sorry I haven't been on social media but I'm in complete shock and trying to come to terms with this. I can't believe I'm writing this post.

'My thoughts and prayers are with Mike's family. Rest in peace Mike.' sic

After appearing on a number of reality TV shows such as TOWIE, Celebs Go Dating and Celebrity Big Brother over the years, Megan is now putting her efforts into her music, releasing a number of country hits.

After knocking both Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton off the top of the charts in America, Megan is hoping to break the UK music charts.
