Gareth was said to be devastated after his relationship with Faye ended and even worried that the stress of the break-up could make his hair fall out AGAIN after his 2017 hair transplant.

It was originally rumoured that Faye and Joe were an item just weeks after she split from Gareth but she issued a statement to deny that was the case, insisting they were just friends.
