"Firstly, I'm so angry at you for doing this because you are so loved by so many people and I just wish you picked up the phone so we could've sorted this out. This didn't need to happen.
"Secondly, it annoys me that you were so misunderstood. "Muggy Mike" was your stage name and let's face it, the ladies did fall at your feet BUT everyone had this impression of you and you were literally the opposite you were one of a kind.
"Mike, you were so thoughtful, caring and loyal to me and all your friends, you know some of my darkest secrets and I know yours. I could always rely on you to tell me when I'm being a nut job to Elliott and tell me to get off his case and I always told you to stop partying too much and getting too p****d."
Olivia Buckland shared a moving image of herself and husband Alex Bowen alongside Mike, writing: "True gent. Never forgotten. Forever loved. I'm so sorry. Words fail me."
