Message: Eddie also posted a snap of a British Transport Police poster on the tube which read ‘we stand together against hate’
‘Keep it coming please as it’s people like you that need to get things off your chest. I can take it so I would rather you send it my way than to someone who is vulnerable and break them down to pieces.’
‘I don’t do hatred and I don’t think any less of you as I don’t know you personally so I won’t make any negative comments Xxxxx.’
Prior to getting engaged to Denise in 2018, Eddie worked as a commodities trader but was sacked by SCB & Associates just weeks after he proposed to the TV star – for ‘gross misconduct and material dishonesty’, according to an employment tribunal hearing at the time.

He was accused of stealing customers and commercially sensitive information from his employers, where he held a £110,000 position, to set up his own rival business.
Eddie was hauled before a disciplinary panel after bosses discovered he had sent hundreds of emails containing clients’ contact details and confidential information from his work account to a private account.
The firm said he then sought to ‘cover his tracks’ by deleting dozens of the highly sensitive emails. Eddie subsequently sued SCB for unfair dismissal, claiming he was a victim of a scheme concocted by his bosses to cut costs, but his claim failed.
Eddie moved out of Denise’s home following their shock split and is now thought to be staying with friends while he works on his career.

He posted a black-and-white image of Inspector Clouseau, who is described as an ‘inept and incompetent police detective in the French Sûreté’ – and the accompanying caption led many to believe he was alluding to his ex’s detective skills.

Despite Eddie’s efforts to conceal his infidelities, Denise still found out when she was using his iPad and the messages came up, with Denise splitting from him in January after seven years together.
Denise wrote: ‘There were also Instagram messages alluding to phone sex with a third woman. I quickly found the woman’s profile by her screen name, only to discover I’d previously blocked her on my Instagram account – which struck me as odd.’

She continued: ‘This was a woman I didn’t know, who’d clearly had an online connection with my boyfriend. Why would I have blocked her from my Instagram account. Straight away, I unblocked her and sent her a message saying how she knew Eddie.’
She added: ‘She suggested that Eddie had probably gone into my phone and blocked her so she couldn’t message me.
‘She has apparently spoken to Eddie over FaceTime and text for a long period – often from our home and sometimes from my flat in Hampstead, which she seemed to think was his.
‘They’d never met in person, but she said the conversations had become sexual in nature reasonably quickly – some of the stuff I found on the phone seemed to support that.
‘However she was upset with Eddie because he’d apparently ghosted her.’
Despite her heartache, Denise has insisted there are ‘no hard feelings’ and that’s she managed to move forward.
Speaking on a recent episode of Lorraine, she said: ‘I’m feeling really good now because I wasn’t in a good place, it was all a bit of a shock.
‘These things happen. I’m not the first person it’s happened to and I won’t be the last, sadly. But it’s life, isn’t it, Lorraine?
‘You just have to get on with it and there are no hard feelings on my side. It’s happened and you just accept it. I can’t change what’s happened.’
