Michael Pearce's ex-fiancee has opened up about why she dumped her career as a professional dancer to open a barre studio - just months after the NRL star was caught sending fiery texts to a club staffer.
Kristin Scott's wedding to the Newcastle Knights skipper was canned just days before the big event on December 29 because Pearce sent 'flirty' messages to a woman who worked at the club.
Pearce, 31, initially claimed their nuptials were postponed due to coronavirus, before reports emerged the inappropriate messages to the young woman caused the couple to pull the pin.
But in an interview on Tuesday, Ms Scott steered clear of her calamitous start to the year to focus on her new fitness studio Barre Effect - divulging that she decided not to be a full-time dancer because 'it's a tough industry to crack'.
