In an interview with OK! Magazine in 2015, Nikki said of their romance: ‘[Greg’s] been blamed for something he didn’t do… in reality there was a third party who split them up on the other side.
‘It ended through no fault of Greg’s. People say, ‘Well, I wouldn’t want to be her mate because she’d steal my boyfriend,’ I’d never do anything like that.’
She previously confirmed in a statement to MailOnline that they got together not long after his split from his previous partner, Sarah.
‘I have known Greg and his family for many years. Greg’s marriage ended in January, it was a very difficult time for him during which all of his friends and family supported him,’ Nikki explained.
