I found out when the episode aired.

Some people from a podcast reached out, like, ‘Did you know Callum had a girlfriend?’ I was like, ‘What the f*?'” Michele said she was “falling” for Callum on the show, and she figured that she and him would start communicating immediately after filming ended. “I get back, and I open my WhatsApp, and he messaged me all of this lovey dovey stuff.

And then one day, he messaged me this brick of a text, being like, ‘I don’t think this is ever gonna work out.’ I’m like, OK. So, I call him. He doesn’t answer me for four days. I’m like, bet. This guy sucks.” Finally, Michele gets ahold of Callum, and he apologizes. “He’s still flirting with me, texting with me, all this stuff,” she said.

Then, Michele saw the first episode of the season and called Callum about his cheating. “His girlfriend came into my DMs,” Michele continued. “And I had been teeter tottering about whether or not I wanted to reach out to her once I found out. I wasn’t really trying to blow his life up at all.

… I guess, eventually, she did actually watch the show recently.” She says she has ‘no faith in love anymore’ after watching this season The Challenge Season 39 didn’t work out for Michele Fitzgerald and Callum Izzard.

“I’m so jaded.” Michele noted that she hopes to see Callum at The Challenge Season 39 reunion so she can properly address the situation in front of everyone. “I feel like he’s probably not gonna show up, honestly,” she said.
