Mike was tragically found dead in March at the age of 26.
He is believed to have taken his own life following a battle with mental health problems, and the inquest into his death has been scheduled for this month.
It's been reported that bosses won't pay an on-air tribute to him when the show returns for a fifth series next month.
It's said bosses will instead pay tribute to him on their on-demand service instead.
A source told The Sun that they felt it was "more appropriate" to do it there.
Since the loss of Mike, and the tragic death of 2016 contestant Sophie Gradon last year, ITV bosses have announced a major shake-up for the 2019 series.
