'Too Hot To Handle' Star Claims Harry Jowsey Had A Secret Girlfriend

Too Hot To Handle stars Harry Jowsey and Francesca Farago are the only contestants from the show to stay together after the cameras stopped rolling.

It looked like the couple had defied the odds, proving all the doubters wrong and even carrying on beyond fellow couple Sharron and Rhonda - showing they really were the real deal.

But now one of their co-stars has thrown doubt on the pair's romantic love story, claiming that Harry actually had another secret girlfriend after leaving the show, before he got back together with the Canadian model.

Speaking on Fox FM's Fifi, Fev and Byron, Essex girl Chloe Veitch said: "Harry was with someone else, he had another girlfriend in the space that him and Francesca split up."

The show's hosts sounded about as shocked as we are with the news, uttering: "Well, he didn't tell us that... he left that bit out."

To which an awkward Chloe then replied: "Really? Well it was on Instagram..."

Despite the revelation, Chloe went on to back the newly reformed couple, adding quickly that they were "stronger than ever now".

Neither Harry or Francesca have previously mentioned the fact he'd dated someone else when they split.

Tyla has contacted Harry's representative for comment.

The couple admit they didn't have an easy ride when they came out of the show, which was filmed at the end of last year.

"After the show, everything was like a roller coaster, and we actually broke up for a few months," Harry said on Entertainment Tonight a few weeks ago.

"We took a break, and then a few months ago, I got drunk in L.A and texted her that I wanted to FaceTime her dog.

"I was like, 'Hey, I don't want to talk to you, can I just talk to your puppy?' So at that point we just started talking".

Well, that's one way to rekindle with an ex, we guess.

The couple have gone on to declare their love for each other in the weeks that followed, even getting matching lightening bolt tattoos on their index fingers.

Speaking to Netflix, Francesca added: "It was so amazing to watch our love story unfold and I am so excited for what the future holds for the two of us!"

We guess Chloe's allegations will be one to discuss on the upcoming reunion show...
