“Met @chrishughes_22 once on Loose Women and with @oliviajade_att at the football. Sorry to disappoint you all no flirty texts got sent!” she tweeted.
Chris immediately hit back, posting screenshots that appear to show her repeatedly messaging him – first using Instagram’s private message system, then WhatsApp – despite his refusal to reply.
“Okay sweetheart. Being pied shouldn’t make you bitter,” he posted, alongside the screenshots.

“You think you’re having fun & games then block me but just remember the truth always comes out…I’m sitting back & 😂 #screenshots #replies,” she tweeted on Friday.
She followed it up on Monday, tying in ITV drama, Liar: “Omg I’m watching Liar I love it #51screenshots #allreplys #totalcontradiction #neverunderestimatethepricey”
Eventually Chris snapped, writing in a notes app and posting a screenshot to social media. “You’re looking to get back at me, your desperate. Stop sending threatening voice notes to my girlfriend too,” he tweeted. [sic]
“I outed you because that’s what I do when I get accused of lying or being told I’m not telling the truth,” he wrote. “I have no regrets either so just accept that someone’s stood up to you and called you out on it.”
“I stand by who I am and not going to let someone like you mug me off,” Chris continued. “Leave me and my girlfriend alone to live our lives. and don’t threaten her again saying you will destroy our careers.
