NUNN'S MARRIAGE ROCKED BY CHEATING ALLEGATIONS
In 2019, Natalie Nunn's marriage suffered a setback when Nunn's "Celebrity Big Brother" co-star Chloe Ayling alleged that she was involved in a threesome with Dan Osbourne and Natalie Nunn.

Despite Dan Osbourne and Natalie Nunn coming out to vehemently deny the allegations, it still did not do much to convince Payne, who was seen moving his things out of their home on December 6, 2019.
A few days after Natalie Nunn's husband, Payne, was seen moving out of their home, he was seen arriving in London alone and conspicuously missing his wedding ring.
Later that week, the couple appeared to have patched things up after they were spotted showing some PDA on the streets of London.
