“He was always very pleasant to me and treated me well.”
Rhian went on: “Despite him attempting to sh*g his way through other Page 3 girls and getting declined he soon went full circle and joined a ‘No More Page 3 campaign’ to get us shut down.
“I can’t comment on the allegations that have been made against him, I’ve no scoop on the fella except his hair used to smell bad and he definitely wasn’t the one that got away.”
