Rhian Sugden has posted tongue-in-cheek updates after she raged against her husband on social media last week. The model had very harsh words to say in a public post about Oliver Mellor, but now “regrets” airing their dirty laundry.
Last week, Rhian, 38, fumed about the former Coronation Street star and publicly shamed him as a husband and parent in a series of Instagram posts.
The actress revealed that both she and their young son had been in and out of A&E, but Oliver, 44, was drinking with his buddies instead of helping out.
While Rhian was dealing with quincy, their son George – born in April 2024 – was rushed to hospital with suspected measles.
“Anyone else ever been so ill they’ve ended up in A&E twice in two days and yet their husband would rather go out drinking with his mates instead of helping at home, or am I just the unfortunate one?” she wrote at the time.
Today, Rhian showed that she’d simmered down as she mocked up fake newspaper covers to give an update on how she and Oliver were faring following the drama.
In one Instagram Story, Rhian shared a photo of ITV star Oliver with some goats and wrote: “Husband finally breaks silence to the goats at the petting zoo.
“Sources say he deeply regrets choosing pints over paracetamol. Relationship experts (and one particularly nosy goat) remain divided. More on page 3.”
In another update, she admitted she wished she hadn’t shared her dilemma on Instagram as she mocked up a page with a snap of herself in a swimming costume.
“Shocking: Couple argues and doesn’t immediately split. Experts baffled,” she wrote, adding: “A source close to the situation (me) said: ‘She was hormonal, ill, and momentarily lost the plot. She now regrets turning to Instagram for validation instead of paracetamol and a nap.’”
Rhian hilariously continued: “A source close to the situation (also me) has confirmed: ‘I was deeply offended by the audacity of her husband going out whilst she had what felt like the plague’ in a moment of weakness, she turned to social media. ‘She now regrets this. Not the rage – just the post.’”
The star concluded: “Another close source (me) says tensions peaked during a fever dream. The woman regrets posting to Instagram but maintains her husband was being a bit of a t**. The goats remain neutral. No further statements will be issued.”
At the time of her illness while still raging at Oliver, Rhian admitted she was really struggling with quincy – which affects the tonsils – as she wrote: “I’m home for those of you who are asking, but oh my god I am so much worse.
“They sent me to A&E the other day because it was bad but i feel like its got worse even though I am on strong antibiotics. I don’t really want to waste a space in hospital and it’s dramatic if I call an ambulance but I am really feel like I am struggling to breathe, I can’t swallow.”
