Taylor Ryan, the ex-girlfriend of Gladiators star Jamie 'Giant' Biggs, has accused him of breaking up with her over her OnlyFans job. The 28-year-old shared her side of the story in an Instagram video, claiming that despite initially supporting her when he was fired from the BBC reboot in April, he later ended the relationship because of her work.
Taylor's video claims
In the video, set to Kurt Carr's In The Sanctuary, Taylor wrote captions explaining she re-entered the dating scene after getting divorced at 28, then met Jamie. She described an idyllic time dating the bodybuilder and acknowledged him 'getting fired from his job' five months into dating, saying he stood up for her then. '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 said she was 'blindsided'.
Jamie's earlier stance
Taylor's latest claims are a reversal from Jamie's public support in April. He told Metro at the time: 'Obviously, Taylor is entitled to her private life. We're doing nothing wrong.' He added: '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.'
Jamie addressed the breakup on his own social media, saying he was 'working on myself' and wanted to 'move forwards' and be known 'for me'. He has not publicly responded to Taylor's latest claims.
Career moves
Since leaving Gladiators, Jamie's place has been filled by World's Strongest Man winner Tom Stoltman. Jamie has shared well wishes for his replacement. He teased in May that there were TV projects 'in the pipeline'. Metro has reached out to Jamie Bigg's representative for comment.
