Former TV host Mike Hosking has quashed rumours that he had an affair with real estate agent Michael Boulgaris this week, saying he has never met the man. Hosking says he rang Boulgaris once after rumours circulated saying they had left a party together that Hosking was never at. "I rang him just to say I hoped it wasn't all a problem for him and he was fine," he says. The comments were made, ironically, as part of an interview Hosking gave to a women's magazine. Hosking spent a significant portion of last year being pursued at all hours of the day and night for paparazzi photographs by a persistent admirer, and took another women's magazine to court to stop it publishing photographs of his children.
