There were further rumours he had cheated on her during their seven-year relationship.

He wrote: “Since my break up last November I’ve been in the recording studio with my good friend and producer @markdedross and now I’m feeling positive and channeling energy into new music production and DJ’ing.
“We revisited our first edit of ‘NOW YOU’RE GONE!’ recently and changed our first structure to a more vibrant, higher tempo and liberating Nu-Disco version.”
The 49-year-old former commodities trader continued: “It’s amazing how emotions and music run side by side together and what music can do to help with either sadness or to lift happiness even more.
“We can’t wait to finish this edit which is still raw, unfinished and unpolished but has helped me a lot personally.
“Hope you like what we’ve started... The acappella we used was from @jamesfreynolds vocal catalogue #music #dance #producer #artist #studio #friends #musicislife #musicismedicine #pioneer #ableton #WATCHTHISSPACE.”
Before Eddie’s cheating was exposed, he and Denise had planned to marry later this year.

Describing herself as “utterly heartbroken”, Denise said finally announced their split in February this year.

She added: "We ask that you please respect our privacy at this time, especially for our children" followed by a heart emoji.
