He went on to say that they were friends during filming and “exchanged a couple of messages” but “started to get closer after the final meeting”.
“He supported me, because I was dealing with all the Cam stuff. I’ll leave it like that for now. I don’t think I’m ready to say much more now, in terms of how I feel,” she added.
It comes after Daily Mail Australia revealed that Josh and Lyndall “are no longer on speaking terms” after he found out she had a boyfriend she hadn’t told him about.
He found out about her other relationship after flying from Sydney to Perth to see her at the end of January.
Their brief romance and subsequent breakup was described by one cast member as ‘messy AF’ from the start.
The pair reportedly couldn’t keep their hands off each other when they first hooked up at an after-party at the Ivy in Sydney in December.

His behavior apparently left his co-stars ‘shocked’.
“Lyndall and Josh were on top of each other in front of everyone, and it was really awkward to watch,” said one MAFS participant.
“They were so caught up in the moment that they didn’t even care who was watching.”
Their late-night pash turned more serious when Josh decided to take things to the next level by flying to Perth to meet Lyndall for a secret date.
Josh, a Sydney-based publicity director who was paired with sex-obsessed hairdresser Melissa Sheppard on MAFS, planned a romantic weekend with accountant Lyndall from January 26-29.
The couple thought they had covered their tracks, but one of Lyndall’s close friends eventually figured out what was going on.
This friend approached Josh and asked why he had traveled across the country to be with her knowing that she was “in a long-term relationship” with another man.
This was news to Josh, who had no idea that Lyndall was seeing someone else.

“Josh was heartbroken that he was under the impression that Lyndall was single. She totally induced it,” a source said.
“He was on the first flight back to Sydney and he wasn’t happy one bit. They talked for hours every day leading up to this vacation and she didn’t mention it once.
The source added that when the other MAFS cast members found out about what happened in Perth, they were all “very, very angry”.
It has caused a lot of tension and drama within the group, and Lyndall and Josh are no longer on speaking terms. It’s a complete disaster,’ they said.
“Lyndall wanted to keep the whole thing under wraps, which is funny because she actually told a few cast members the whole thing one night in Perth.”
She said they were friends during filming and “exchanged a couple of messages” but “started getting closer after the final meeting.”
