Hugo Hammond has spoken out after co-star Sharon Gaffka accused him of “making jokes about her being spiked” and “inappropriate touching”.
Sharon’s comments came during an appearance on the Saving Grace podcast, when she explained she had ended her friendship with Hugo following a night out.
She said, “When I got to the hotel I had been texting him and he called me a basic bitch for going to this club. Then I FaceTimed him because he seemed quite drunk and he made jokes about me getting spiked...
“I haven’t spoken to him since. He’s tried to message me and I don’t think he knows what I’ve done. I hung up and then he messaged me again and I told him to f--k off. My friend was there and I was in the Hilton lobby going mental calling him all sorts. I was like, ‘You’re a nasty piece of work!”
Sharon added, “There’s other stuff going on like inappropriate touching, which he also probably doesn’t remember. This is what I mean, nice guys aren’t nice.”
Following Sharon’s accusations, Hugo issued a statement on TikTok story which read, “Firstly, spiking is not a topic I use within my jokes nor do I find funny, it’s horrific to be honest. I wouldn’t joke about someone being spiked, it’s just not who I am, friend or not.
“The wild comment made around inappropriate touching is outrageous and and simply false, to say something like this is seriously damaging and paints an unfair picture of me. You cannot just throw that sort of language around.”
Speaking about his relationship with Sharon, Hugo added, “I am very confused to why she’s making these comments now? As she mentioned, I’ve tried to contact since so there’s been time to bring up to be resolved. And I’m just pretty upset to be honest that she has taken to social media knowing full well what that can do!”
