Jetting off: But MailOnline has revealed he appears to have formed a close friendship with former model, Micah. She posted two pictures on Facebook of her and Liam sunning themselves in Greece on July 19
The brunette beauty seemed unfazed by the recent revelation about her husband of two years and his jaunt amid the disintergration of their romance.
Liam jetted to Mykonos with Micah days before he confirmed the end of his marriage. Tree surgeon Liam told MailOnline how their relationship collapsed under the pressures of fame as her career took off after winning Bake Off in 2016.
He said at the time that he had gone on a two-week break to get over the split while insisting that nobody else was involved in the break-up.
But MailOnline has revealed he appears to have formed a close friendship with former model, Micah. She posted two pictures on Facebook of her and Liam sunning themselves in Greece on July 19.

Candice's ex told how he had struggled with being thrust into his wife's showbiz world after she won the Channel 4 show and appeared on Dancing On Ice.
He confirmed he had moved out of the flat they shared with their three dogs Dennis, Albus and Sybil above the gastro pub she runs with her brother, The Green Man in Eversholt, Bedfordshire.
Speaking of their marriage split while he was sunning himself in Greece, he said: 'There is nobody else involved. We have just sadly decided it wasn't working.'

Candice first met Liam in the bar where he worked while studying for a degree, back in 2012.
After five years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in October 2017, just over a year after she first appeared on Bake Off.
Their relationship came under strain just days after becoming engaged when Candice was pictured kissing Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood, 54, on a night out.
Liam said last month: 'I'd not long asked Candice to marry me and I had to read reports that my new fiancée was seen kissing Hollywood and getting close to him.

'That was just a kiss on her cheek and there was nothing else to it. But we had only been engaged a few days. It was a lot to have to deal with.'
The couple went on to tie the knot in a romantic ceremony at Château de Varennes in Burgundy, France, in September 2018.
But Liam said they had called time on their marriage after a series of long talks.
He said last month: 'My wife is a lovely woman and a wonderful human being and I could never find anything detrimental to say about her.'
