In November 2015, rumours of former “The Block” contestant Suzi Taylor’s alleged romance with “Today” presenter Richard Wilkins were much talked about. The two denied all dating claims then. However, Taylor is back in news as she has confirmed a fling she had with Wilkins. Taylor, 44, has claimed that she met the 61-year-old television presenter at an event in Queensland.

Wilkins and Taylor first connected at a Channel 9 telethon and Taylor would even go to Sydney to meet him. She would be in her underwear and wait for Wilkins to get back home from work. As per Taylor, Wilkins had provided her access to his house in Sydney, reports Courier Mail.

“We were at the Channel 9 telethon when we first connected," she said. "From there, I would go to Sydney to see him. He gave me access to his house and I would be there in my underwear waiting for him when he got home from work."

However, their fling was short-lived as Wilkins allegedly ended it over phone, probably after Taylor collapsed on “The Block” set and was admitted to hospital for partying hard nude on a boat.

“He called me on the phone and said it had to stop,” she says. “That really hurt me.”

Wilkins has declined to comment on Taylor’s recent claims.

The nude photos of her partying on a boat after Oaks Day were leaked. Channel 9 scaled back Taylor’s promotional commitments after the nude photo leak and was later threatened by Channel 9 that they would strip Taylor of her “The Block” winnings of nearly $175,000 for alleged breach of contract with Nine Network.

Channel 9 kept on denying any relationship rumours between Wilkins and Taylor and even released an official statement back in November 2015.

Taylor also broke up with producer Tim Wise after a five year relationship and also revealed her affair with late INXS singer Michael Hutchence. She shocked everyone when she said Hutchence’s death was not suicide but the result of a sexual misadventure.
