Annie Knight addresses claims she is husband Henry Brayshaw's 'sugar mumma' following his shock gambling relapse just one week after their wedding

Annie Knight has slammed claims she is her husband Henry Brayshaw's 'sugar mumma' after he admitted to a shock gambling relapse one week after their wedding.

The estranged son of cricket legend James Brayshaw posted a clip on social media on Saturday night, admitting he had fallen into old habits after marrying Annie in October.

'I had a big gambling relapse post-wedding which is really frustrating because after the wedding, I came back locked in for a week, lost all that little puppy fat and was proud of myself,' Brayshaw told followers. 

'Then there was this eerie week, the wedding is gone, what's next, got agitated. I think after doing 150 days sober and then having two months of non-stop partying, which is just what happens when you get married, it's just a merry time, it takes a while to pull the handbrake on that.'

Brayshaw added that he had once again accumulated a significant gambling debt, despite previously crediting Annie for helping him overcome the addiction, admitting in February that he had amassed a $180,000 debt after some major losses on sports bets.

'That left the door ajar for old behaviours which I have spoken about previously and I was worried about. It happened, I let it slip,' he said.

Henry's followers were divided in the comments section, with someone questioning whether his multi-millionaire wife was his 'sugar mumma' and financing his addiction.

However, Annie told the Daily Mail that there was no truth to the suggestion, admitting she had known Henry for more than a decade - well before she was wealthy and his addiction set in. 

'Henry and I have known each other for ten years - long before I was making the money I do now. And he didn't want to date me for years when I was making the money... so he isn't with me for that!' Annie began.

'No, I am not a sugar mumma... Henry helps me as much as I help him!'

The 29-year-old said that although she wasn't financing Henry's addiction, she had been forced to lay down some strict ground rules for him to ensure their relationship survived, while ensuring that he could not access her personal earnings.

She even said at one point she told Henry that he had to get himself cleaned up - or their relationship would end. 

'I basically gave him an ultimatum. I said, "You can't ever do this again. If you do, our relationship isn't going to last",' Annie said.

'He does not have access to my money, to safeguard both of us. When you are dealing with any kind of addiction, there has to be safeguards in place for both of you. We had some tough conversations and we are both on the same page.

'I said, "If this continues then our relationship can't because I don't deserve the emotional stress it puts on me". I definitely had to have conversations like that, previously,' she said. 

Annie said their plan 'moving forward' was to identify the factors that put Henry at risk of another relapse, and limit his exposure to them.

'We have hard talks about the road to recovery. We are now trying to be as wholesome as possible, enjoy life, have a nice schnitzel on a Sunday!' she said. 

It comes after Annie broke down in tears as her relationship with Henry hit rock bottom due to his ongoing addiction.

In June, Annie revealed the devastating news during an episode of the Stan series Turned On: Dirty Sexy Money.

As she struggled to keep her emotions in check, the sex worker confessed Henry, 28, had spent $30,000 on gambling 'over the past few months'.

The revelation came as she burst into tears while getting her makeup done during a promotional shoot for the series.
