Comedian Judi Love is the latest star to weigh in on the rumours of Jack Grealish’s supposedly dramatic love life, telling Loose Women viewers she chatted to Amber Gill after the Love Island star received death threats.
Amber took to social media last weekend to give fans her side of the story after it was claimed she went on a series of dates with Manchester City star Jack.
The reality star quickly shot down rumours after she was brought into the ongoing saga also involving actress Emily Atack, who is alleged to have enjoyed a fling with the footballer.
This comes amid Jack seemingly still in a relationship with Sasha Atwood, as things continue to appear quite messy.
But on Monday’s episode of Loose Women, the panel defended the women being dragged over the speculation, with Judi giving some insight into her chat with Amber.
As the panel discussed the idea of the ‘other woman’ always being blamed for affairs, Judi said: ‘I just think it’s so devastating with anything you read in the papers, not knowing whether it’s fact or not, it has such an impact on people’s lives.

‘I’ve spoken to Amber and like she posted on her Instagam, on her social media, the threats she’s had, the disruption it causes in your personal life when these things [that] she’s saying are not true.’
She went on to add: ‘It’s really harsh and it’s quite scary how to some it might seem like salacious gossip, just a bit of fun.

‘Actually, it affects people’s lives. Like Amber said to me. it affects other relationships, it affects people’s emotional and mental health, when you have to make a statement about something you wouldn’t usually make a statement about.’
‘Imagine the affect on her family?’ Denise Welch noted, before adding: ‘How dare any newspaper say that she did and put on the front page and cause such distress.’
Last week, The Sun reported the Love Island winner was left ‘heartbroken’ after discovering Jack was ‘dating’ Emily ‘possibly at the same time.’

Commenting on the rumours on her Instagram page, Amber said: ‘Any relationship I’ve got going on gets ruined immediately by “this is who she’s dating”. No.
‘Hold on, what? Am I? What, I’m heartbroken? ‘Now you’ve just ruined my actual s**t that’s going on, so thank you…thank you so f**king much.’
Amber captioned the video: ‘If you wanted to know who I was really dating, you’ll never find out because of this kind of sh*t.’
Meanwhile, Emily and Sasha are yet to address speculation they are or have been romantically involved with Jack.

Jack has now himself spoken out on the ongoing rumours, writing on Instagram: ‘Please don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers.’
He also dubbed the phrases ‘a source said’ and ‘a close pal said’ as ‘the 2 biggest lies in newspapers.’
Loose Women airs weekdays from 12.30pm on ITV.
Metro.co.uk contacted Amber’s reps, and previously contacted Jack and Emily’s team, for comment.
