Jackson Lai and Ashley Chu caught "eating cake"

30 Apr – TVB actor Jackson Lai has been accused of cheating on his pregnant wife with fellow actress and "Brain-Eating Zombie" co-star Ashley Chu.

The news was reported by Apple Daily, which revealed that they received a tip that Jackson was seen driving his white BWM to Ashley's residence in Tuen Mun. He was also revealed to have bought a pink heart-shaped cake before picking the actress up.

The two later stopped at a hillside near Tuen Mun to enjoy the cake, but immediately covered their faces upon realising that they were being watched by reporters.

When approached for clarification, Jackson denied that the two of them were having an affair, saying that it was a misunderstanding.

"We were just ready to start work. I am not concerned. We are not together. Everybody has misunderstood us," he said.

However, despite his insistence that they were working, no script was found inside the car.

On the other hand, Ashley, who returned to her apartment soon after, declined to respond about the nature of their relationship nor did she had any answer as to why they were eating cake inside Jackson's car.

The actress only stated that she and Jackson are good friends and denied that she had cheated on Brian Tse, whom she is romantically linked with, saying that the two of them are also just friends.

Both had since put their social media accounts on private, with TVB planning to hold a press conference to respond to the issue.
