The ex-girlfriend of Gladiators star Giant has accused him of breaking up with her over her OnlyFans job.
The former BBC reality star, 40, was unceremoniously axed from the hit reboot in April and afterwards came forward to claim it was due to the fact that his then-girlfriend Taylor Ryan, 28, was an OnlyFans creator.
Meanwhile, his place on the show has already been filled with World’s Strongest Man victor Tom Stoltman stepping into his shoes – for whom Jamie has already shared his well wishes.
Now, however, in yet another twist in this saga, Taylor has blasted her ex-boyfriend on Instagram in a new video sharing her side of the break-up.
The video, soundtracked by Kurt Carr’s In The Sanctuary, has captions written by Taylor explaining that she decided to put herself back on the dating scene after getting divorced at 28, after which she met Jamie.

After an idyllic time dating the bodybuilder, it’s made clear she’s talking about Jamie as she acknowledges him ‘getting fired from his job’ five months into dating and that he stood up for her at the time.
‘You finally feel so chosen,’ she wrote. Before adding: ‘He broke up with me because of my job anyway’.
The caption read: ‘Trauma dump anyone? If you don’t bloody laugh about it, you’ll cry. Luckily, I do both.’
She had previously called the situation ‘pretty painful’ and that she had been ‘blindsided’.
Her comments came after Jamie addressed the break-up on his own social media ‘working on myself’. ‘I want to move forwards and I want people to know me for me,’ he continued.

Taylor’s latest claims, which Jamie has not publicly responded to yet, are a total u-turn from his stance in April, when he and Taylor put on a united front on national television.
Later adding: ‘OnlyFans is just one of the things that Taylor does, [it is] a very small part of who she is.
‘She does some great things, from dog fostering to helping the homeless and various charity work.
‘She’s a comedian and just a great online voice and presence in many other ways, so I did think there would be a discussion [with the BBC] rather than the opposite.’
