Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson is attempting to set the record straight on her romance with boyfriend Greg Whitehurst - denying that she's a "homewrecker".
The soap star is telling OK Magazine that she's suffered abuse over unfounded allegations that she started seeing Whitehurst while he was still married.
"[Greg's] been blamed for something he didn't do," she stresses. "The papers made out that I was the third party who split them up, but in reality there was a third party who split them up on the other side. It ended through no fault of Greg's."
Nikki also complained of the criticism she has received from misinformed members of the public.
"'I want to clear our names," she said. "Whenever we're pictured together or I post a picture of us, I'm labelled a 'home-wrecking whore' and a 'husband stealer'.
"People say, 'Well, I wouldn't want to be her mate because she'd steal my boyfriend'. I'd never do anything like that."
