Ollie Skelton has taken to Instagram to address the backlash he has received for seemingly moving on too quickly following his recent breakup with co-star Tahnee Cook.
The TV boyfriend, 28, has faced a wave of scrutiny from fans who claim his new relationship with Nadia came too soon after the end of their televised marriage.
