The glitz and glamour of the National Television Awards (NTAs) had barely faded when Love Island star Yasmin Pettet, 24, dropped a bombshell that sent shockwaves through her fanbase. Just days after a whirlwind night at the O2 Arena, Yasmin took to social media to confirm her split from Jamie Rhodes, 26, following a dramatic evening that saw her cozying up to The Traitors star Freddie Fraser, 21. The plot thickened as conflicting statements, flirty encounters, and a hazy recollection of the night fueled speculation and gossip.
The drama unfolded at the NTAs, where Yasmin and Jamie, who had been linked since their time on Love Island, appeared together. However, the night took a scandalous turn when Yasmin was spotted holding hands with Freddie, a rising star from The Traitors, at the exclusive after-party. Sources revealed that the pair, both nominated in the same category for their respective shows, were locked in a flirty display that left onlookers buzzing. Meanwhile, Jamie was reportedly left in the dust, waiting outside the O2 and venting to friends that Yasmin had “f**ked off” without him.
Breaking her silence, Yasmin addressed the swirling rumors on social media, clarifying the timeline of her split with Jamie. “Myself and Jamie had split before the NTAs but hadn’t formally announced it yet,” she wrote. She dismissed accusations of infidelity with a touch of sass, adding, “I find it laughable that everyone thinks I cheated on Jamie with Freddie from The Traitors, which is not true. Anyone who knows me knows my type is late 20s, 30s plus.”
Her statement, however, was quickly contradicted by Jamie, who offered a different version of events. In his own post, he insisted, “Yasmin didn’t cheat on me nor was we in a relationship.” The conflicting narratives have only fueled speculation about the true nature of their bond and what really went down at the NTAs.
Adding to the intrigue, Yasmin took to TikTok shortly after the boozy after-party, admitting she could barely piece together the evening’s events. “Guys, I just woke up, my phone is like on two percent right now,” she said, laughing deliriously. “The NTAs, what the fk? I feel so awful, it’s so funny. What the fk was the NTAs? That was my first time going. I wish I could remember it.”
Despite her foggy memory, Yasmin was quick to give a shout-out to reality stars Joe Baggs and Kane, who she credited with making her night unforgettable. “Oh my god, I think I’ve woken up still drunk,” she quipped, hinting at the wild antics that may have contributed to her hazy recollection.
The spotlight, however, remains firmly on Yasmin’s chemistry with Freddie Fraser. Sources at the after-party described their hand-in-hand moment as undeniable, with the pair appearing smitten as they mingled among the star-studded crowd. While Yasmin was quick to shut down rumors of a romantic connection, her playful dismissal of Freddie as “not her type” has done little to quell the speculation. Could this be the start of a new reality TV romance, or simply a fleeting moment under the bright lights of the NTAs?
