Grant and Chezzi Denyer slam cheating rumours
Grant Denyer and his wife Chezzi have hit back at New Idea Magazine for claiming Grant had been "caught out" having an affair.
The story, which has since been removed by the publication's online site, featured photos of Grant, 44, walking down the street with his Dancing With The Stars partner Lily Cornish, 22.
One image in question showed Lily resting her head on Grant's shoulder, with Grant's hand on the dancer's leg.
The magazine published these "shock new pics" and made bold accusations over "Chezzi's heartbreak".
Upon the release of the magazine, Chezzi took to Instagram and shared the front cover saying "Ohhh PLEASE!!!"

Chez launched into a rant against the magazine, saying the photographer has apologised to the couple for the images being "taken out of context".
“Right before this little ‘she’ll be right’ leg pat … I was on the phone with them also consoling Lilz,” Chezzi wrote, explaining that Lily is a close friend of the couple’s.
“Lilz is like our adopted daughter. We grew extremely close during her month long stay with us here in Bathurst. We absolutely adore her!”
She went on to describe the article as "gross and really mean".
Grant also went on a tirade on his own Instagram stories, saying he usually doesn't bother chiming in to the rumour mill, but this situation was "savage".

He said, “My wife and I are used to fabricated stories from these type of magazine, we’ve had a life of it but for Lily, she’s a 22 yo kid!!
“This kind of treatment is brutally unfair and disgusting.”
Grant concluded by saying, “I’m a Dad of 3 girls. And if any friend is having a bad day or a tough time in their life, I’m going to be there for them. End of story.”
