Cheryl Maitland has had to cop a lot from reality TV ex-husband Andrew Jones. Most recently she’s been forced to defend accusations she invited another man into their bed.
To set the record straight, the 25-year-old’s “gay best friend” Jordan Galleio has outed himself as the other man Andrew said he woke up in bed with during filming of Married At First Sight.
It backs up Cheryl’s explanation of the incident, which was exposed when a friend of Andrew’s told Woman’s Day the 38-year-old had been caught off guard by an unwelcome intruder.

“Cheryl got home as the sun was coming up and climbed into bed with Andrew — and so did the guy she’d brought home with her,” the magazine quoted the friend as saying.
However, it was not the evidence of cheating or a desire for a threesome that the quote might have lead readers to believe.
Galleio, a Gold Coast hair stylist, explained that he and Cheryl had been fully-clothed in the bed during an interview with News Corp.
He said Cheryl, her friends and 'Jonesy' had been on a night out together before the reality TV star was kicked out by security guards for throwing also a cup of ice at one of Maitland’s friends.
"We all went out drinking and there was an issue that happened in the club. He was escorted out of the club by a bouncer. All I know is that he threw a cup of ice at Cheryl’s friend and she got him removed from the nightclub," Galleio alleged.
"He seemed like a nice guy but a few drinks later it kind of changed."
