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.

“Hey, I just wanted to talk a little bit about this, since I’ve heard it a couple of times,” he began, explaining that his relationship with Tahnee had ended last November, long before public perception.
The former voice actor expressed a mix of frustration and resignation when addressing the situation.
