It never came across that way because we’d become mates. I don’t know about that.

I really probably only thought about it when I saw the rumour mill, and saw it growing. “Then I saw the link with the drama school photo all those years before, and thought, ‘This looks shocking’."He said: “But I didn’t lie to protect my career, he didn’t want his name in public. He wanted his own life.“It got to the stage where it was out of control and for whatever cost, it had to stop.The ITV star also said sorry to his former lover and his family.“I am deeply sorry and I apologise to him because I should have known better. I should have acted the way I have always acted.
