Former partner Taylor Ryan has stated that her relationship with former Gladiator star Jamie Bigg was fabricated, describing it as a sham that never progressed beyond an online connection.
Ryan claims that the couple had discussed marriage and children before the relationship dissolved, suggesting a deeper level of commitment than was publicly acknowledged.
She says Bigg left most of his clothing at her residence but took his Gladiators costume and related memorabilia, hinting at a potential return to the endurance show.
Ryan previously posted on a social media platform criticizing Bigg, alleging that he ended the relationship because of her occupation as an OnlyFans creator.
Bigg was recently removed from the endurance program, a move he attributed to his work on the adult content platform, which he said conflicted with the show's values.
Viewers expressed disappointment over the removal of the popular contestant, voicing frustration that their favorite had been cut from the series.
In response to the backlash, Bigg remarked that he was surprised by the reaction and felt he had earned support from fans and teammates.
The program has named a new competitor, a world champion in strength competitions, as the replacement, with filming currently underway.
Bigg publicly offered his support to the newcomer, wishing him success in the upcoming season.
No further statements have been released regarding the matter.
