Netflix's Too Hot To Handle star Cam Holmes has broken his silence on those cheating rumours.
He and partner Emily Miller were thrust under the spotlight after getting together on the reality dating show, and according to model Holmes, this has brought its own challenges.
Joining Pete Wicks and Cici Coleman's FUBAR Radio gig The Dating Show this week, the subject of the couple's alleged separation last month cropped up, with Holmes revealing: "We were having a bit of time away from each other. I was working a lot on myself. She was working on herself. Because we never really had that time either.

"The show came out, it was like, 'Here you go'. Chuck you straight into the f**king mixer. We were always out at events drinking. We were never both in the best of places. So we were like we'll have a bit of time away from this."
Addressing the infidelity claims head-on, he chose to neither confirm nor deny.
"I don't feel like we owe it to address them. Because we're a genuine couple, I think we're allowed to be able to work this out in private.
"As a public couple, it's not as simple as people make it out to be. You're not this perfect relationship," added Holmes.

With the glare of the public fixed on their relationship – they're "in a good place at the moment" – this merely exacerbated the rockiness.
"I've had comments before saying, 'If you two break up I'll never believe in love again.' Or, 'If you two break up I'll kill myself.' And I'm like, f**k me, imagine the pressure that puts on us. It's a lot of pressure," he shared.
"We're both trying to navigate through this new world that we've been given... Being a public couple is challenging but I think if you can actually make it through it, it means you've actually stood the test, because not many people have to be honest."
Too Hot To Handle is available now on Netflix.
