Now she is starting afresh though is still trying to recover her old account.

“For those wondering if this is me. Yes it is,” she wrote in a post.

“I don’t know what I did on my main account, but any tips to get it back would be appreciated.”

Tess has faced significant backlash amid links to Neale, and in March was forced to deactivate her Instagram account because of abuse.

But she has also used the platform to defend herself from critics, previously hinting the public doesn’t have the full picture of the alleged affair, cryptically noting that there is “always another story” in the caption of an Instagram post.
