He said: "I'd not long asked Candice to marry me and I had to read reports that my new fiancée was seen kissing Hollywood and getting close to him.

"That was just a kiss on her cheek and there was nothing else to it. But we had only been engaged a few days. It was a lot to have to deal with."

Liam has now moved out of his flat he shares with Candice, which sits above a pub they both run.

The pair appear to still be on good terms, with Liam saying: "My wife is a lovely woman and a wonderful human being and I could never find anything detrimental to say about her."

He added: "I am not the famous one, no one is interested in me. I am a tree surgeon from Scotland and I make my own living."
