After her final scenes aired on Monday, Poppy claimed an incident had occurred with Luke during filming in September but she ‘isn’t allowed to talk about it’.
In a lengthy Facebook post, she accused Luke of making her ‘feel uncomfortable’.
She claimed that something had happened during filming that was ‘too controversial’ to be shown on television.
‘Why is Luke crying when I left? What really happened that he was crying over! You don’t know because I wasn’t allowed to say! It’s too controversial!’ she wrote.
‘He’s scared s**tless I will tell the truth. I was afraid to speak up! But f**k this s**t, I’m going to tell everything! It’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see! Go and ask Luke why I was so uncomfortable? Why the f**k did I really leave?
‘He’s petrified I’m going to talk. He knows he’s f**ked up. Those tears from him are for his reputation and job!’

Luke has since responded to Poppy’s extraordinary claims about their break-up, saying he wishes her well and won’t be taking part in a public slanging match.
He told The Daily Telegraph on Wednesday: ‘I am not going to make any comments because, honestly, the best way to react is not to react.
‘To be honest, Poppy is a good person and the best of luck to her. I am not going to comment on anything because it is not worth it, it really isn’t.
‘Honestly, she just needs to move on like I have and that is it. We are finished on the show and that is as far as it goes.’
