For decades now, tabloid publications have been churning questionable stories about celebrity gossip and alleged scandal.

Some claim certain celebrities are divorcing, having babies or surprise weddings and even finding a long-lost love child. But one of the biggest printable stories of all time are cheating scandals. Especially, ones set to shake famously strong couples.

And in October 2021, Grant Denyer and his wife Chezzi Denyer fell victim to tabloid fodder.

But they didn't back down. Instead, they called it out: and won.

Initially writing on Instagram, Grant and Chezzi criticisedNew Ideafor their October 18 cover, which featured a paparazzi shot of Grant and hisDancing With The Stars Australiapartner Lily Cornish with the words 'Grant Denyer caught out'. In the picture, it could be seen that Grant was sitting next to his dancing partner, she had her head on his shoulder, and he had his hand on her leg.

Also on the cover was a paparazzi picture of Chezzi with a blank expression and the words 'Chezzi's heartbreak'.

At the time, Grant wrote on Instagram: "The magazine has taken the story down online, however considering the magazine is still out there in doctor's offices and dental surgeries for years to come, we feel a more permanent response is needed. And yes, we're taking this further. These magazines are ruthless and evil paddlers of lies for cash. Don't fall for it. Their behaviour towards so many, not just us, is sick."

Chezzi shared a similar sentiment, thanking their fans for reaching out to the publication and sending in complaints. "Enough is enough. Watch this space."

The implication and suggestion from the cover, photograph and write-around was that Grant was having an extramarital affair with Lily Cornish, leaving Chezzi 'heartbroken'. But of course, this story was rather removed from the actual truth.

Even the photographer who took the paparazzi shots ended up apologising to Chezzi, saying they had been taken out of context.

Chezzi said at the time: "Right before this little 'she'll be right' leg pat, I was on the phone with them also consoling Lilz. Where's the pic of us FaceTiming each other? Where's the other photos with some tears? Lilz is like our adopted daughter. We grew extremely close during her month-long stay with us - we absolutely adore her! And I know full well the context of this pic and I think the headline is gross and really mean."

Chezzi and Grant then went on to clarify that Lily had personal things going on, and she was seeking "a pep talk and fatherly advice".

In a radio interview Grant reiterated: "I've given her a tap on the leg letting her know everything's gonna be okay after we've just divulged our lives to each other as we're having aDWTSmeltdown, and now I've embarrassed my family in this situation where I've not even done anything wrong."
