At the recent Star Awards 2011 Show 2, the couple refuted rumours and insisted that there weren't any problems in their marriage. Married for two years, their relationship reportedly took a turn for the worse in October 2010 and subsequently became talk of the town when Michelle rejected a hosting gig for a wedding-themed variety programme.

In separate phone interview with xinmsn in the evening yesterday, Michelle sounded visibly shaken and upset over the news.

The actress have been having the runs and suffering from stomach discomfort the past few days. When xinmsn asked if she was sick, the actress calmly replied, "Maybe it's due to stress."
