Gareth Gates accused of cheating on long-term girlfriend

Gareth Gates has been accused of cheating on his fiancee Suzanne Mole after meeting another woman at a Spice Girls gig in December.

Hayley Hughes, the cousin of Spice Girl Emma Bunton, met the Dancing on Ice star backstage at one of the girl group’s London gigs just days before he proposed to long-term partner Suzanne over Christmas.

A friend of Hayley’s told the Sun: “Hayley was chatting to [Emma] then Gareth came over to join in the conversation.”

“There was an instant attraction. Hayley does look a lot like Suzanne. They were getting really cosy all night then got a taxi back to a hotel.”

“Hayley has boasted to her pals about what happened that night and Gareth scored a six from the judging panel. He never once mentioned his girlfriend.”

Hayley is said to have posted pictures of the pair of them together on her Facebook page but the source insists that while she’s had “had a few text messages from Gareth since his engagement”, “she backed off when she realised he had a girlfriend”.
