- Former England cricketer reportedly no longer living with wife Anna
- Miss Childs says they're 'good friends' but have 'never been in relationship'
- Pair met in Austria last month during filming of reality show The Jump
- 'Amy thought he was charismatic and charming, and they got on really well, but he is not her type. He is 20 years older than her,' a friend said
Cricketer and Strictly Come Dancing winner Darren Gough has allegedly moved out of his family home over his friendship with Towie's Amy Childs, who today denied they had an affair.
The 43-year-old former England fast bowler met the model, who is 20 years younger, while filming Channel 4 reality show The Jump abroad in January.
Mr Gough is believed to have left the large property he shares with wife Anna near Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, weeks after meeting Miss Childs in Austria.
Her spokesman said: 'Amy and Darren met while filming for The Jump, they became good friends during filming and remain so, they have never been involved in a relationship'.

'Amy thought he was charismatic and charming, and they got on really well, but he is not her type. He is 20 years older than her,' the friend said.
'She is really upset to be labelled with this because they are not in a relationship and they haven't seen each other since they got back'.
On The Jump the pair were axed in quick succession – with Childs eliminated on January 27 and Gough making a similar exit the following day.

Denial: Amy Childs' agent said today that her client and Darren Gough are not in a relationship
They have maintained regular contact via Twitter following their brief appearance on the Channel 4 show – and a pal of the former TOWIE star admits they 'got close' on the snowy slopes of Innsbruck.
‘Amy denies they have slept together but admits there are feelings there,' a friend told The Sun's Dan Wooton.
‘She’s not the sort of girl to sleep with a married man. She didn’t cross that line. They were flirting and would hug on nights out. But she thinks it’s unfair that she’s being blamed for any issues in Darren’s relationship.’

‘The cast went on a huge booze bender on their second night in Innsbruck and Amy and Darren were being really flirty,’ a source told The Sun.
‘The more they drank, the more obvious it was that they fancied each other. They were being very affectionate.’

MailOnline have contacted Mr Gough's agent for further comment.
The cricketer’s reported separation from wife Anna – with whom he is a parent to sons Liam and Brennan – comes five years after they reconciled following a divorce in 2002 after eight years of marriage.
Meanwhile Amy has been single following her split from personal trainer David Peters in May 2013.
