Erica Roberts has revealed that she and former BFF Meryl Williams have decided to end their You and Me podcast together after apparently falling out with each other.
The Married at First Sight UK star, 27, and the Traitors winner, 28, quickly formed a strong bond at the start of last year regularly taking to social media to show fans glimpses at their day trips, nights out and girly weekends together.
In September, they announced they were launching their own podcast together, where they said they would be telling all on their ‘one of a kind friendship’ and sharing everything about ‘our weird and wonderful lives together as two best friends’.
However, fans were left confused after the duo failed to post new episodes or updates on the podcast over the past four weeks, with seemingly no explanation.
Following several complaints from those that had paid for extra content on the pair’s Patreon, Erica finally broke her silence on Monday, revealing that she and Meryl were no longer friends, so would no longer be doing the podcast.
Filming herself from her car in the TikTok video, the reality star hinted at behind-the-scenes drama between them, but remained тιԍнт-lipped on the details.

She said: ‘I’m going to address this, purely for the sake of the podcast. There’s a lot that’s happened, there’s a lot that’s gone on. I don’t want to speak bad on anyone so I’m not going to go into that.
‘But I just want to let you guys know that there is currently no longer a podcast. I’m sorry that we haven’t addressed it sooner. I don’t think either of us know how to navigate the situations.
‘On behalf of me, I’m so sorry that it’s taking this long. We were both kind of unsure about what as happening and if there was still going to be a podcast but now we’re pretty definitely sure that there isn’t going to be a podcast anymore.’
She then declared: ‘If there’s no friendship, there’s no podcast.’
Erica also addressed fans’ complaints about their Patreon subscriptions, saying: ‘I understand people were paying for extra content as well that was on Patreon. I don’t actually deal with that, all the Patreon and stuff was Meryl, she was dealing with that.
‘So maybe give her a message and see if she can help because I don’t have any of the details to log into that, I genuinely know nothing about it. She has all of that.’
She went on admit that she ‘gutted’ that the podcast was over and said that she ‘cherished’ her and Meryl’s friendship together, wishing her former friend all the best.
She said: ‘I’m not going to speak on behalf of her, I’m just speaking on behalf of me. I loved the podcast, I loved doing it with Meryl. I loved our friendship and I truly did cherish that.’

‘Unfortunately, like I said, a lot has happened and things just haven’t worked out and she’s moving to London and I truly wish her the best, she will smash it down there.
‘But yeah I’m sorry we haven’t addressed it sooner, we both kind of didn’t know what was going on. And i just want to say thank you so much for all your love and support over the last couple of months.
‘I’ve absolutely loved doing the podcast, it honestly brought me so much happiness, so much joy. And I’m gutted to be honest that that is it.
‘But I hope that you guys can understand. I don’t really know what to say to be honest, but I hope that sort of clears things up for you guys and honestly I can’t even believe I’m making this video, because I never thought this would happen. But yeah, thank you for being so understanding.’
Fans immediately flooded the comments section to voice their shock and sadness to hear the news, with many demanding to know the details about why the pair had so suddenly fallen out.

Replying to one fan who asked: ‘Are you guys sure you can’t rectify the situation ? I really liked your podcast, maybe it’s just a blip??’, Erica replied: ‘Im afraid not, a lot has happened and we are on different paths now x’.
While she added to another: ‘nothing to hide here, I just hope people can understand and respect that this is obviously sad for us both ☹️’.
In response to one comment that read: ‘If you cherished your friendship so much you’d work things out’, Erica wrote: ‘Trust me I wish it was that easy, please be mindful’.
While she replied to one that advised: ‘They say Never mix business and friendships together’, by simply agreeing: ‘Truth’.
