“Below Deck Down Under” heartthrob Captain Jason Chambers is setting the record straight on fellow Bravo star Heather Gay’s hookup claim.
On Monday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen,” Chambers initially played coy but ultimately denied the “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” star’s story.
When host Cohen asked his guest how he felt when he heard Gay say they “had knocked knees,” the Australia native, 52, replied, “Well, we hung out in Sydney, as you know, down there for Bravo. You’ve been to Sydney before for the Mardi Gras. What happens in Sydney stays in Sydney, you know?”
Fellow guest Daisy Kelliher, who will appear on the upcoming season of “Below Deck Down Under,” took that to mean confirmation of the tryst, but Chambers quickly clarified, “No, it’s not true. It’s not true.
“But what a friendship,” he made sure to add. “Beautiful people.”
“So, so funny and had such a good time hanging out with them, and I’m glad that the friendship built so that they wanted to come on the boat for a charter,” he continued.
Gay, 51, made the claim on a recent episode of “RHOSLC,” which showed her organizing a yacht trip to the island of Canouan in the Grenadines with her co-stars to film with the “Below Deck Down Under” cast.
At one point, “RHOSLC” cast member Britani Bateman, who had shown interest in Chambers earlier in the episode, called Gay out for “canoodling” with him.
“Jason and I are friends. We have a history,” Gay explained during the alcohol-fueled exchange. “We’ve f–ked around before. It’s, like, there’s nothing there.”
When a shocked Bateman asked Gay to specify what she meant by “f–ked around,” the latter replied, “We’re friends. I’m saying we’re friends, so there’s latitude.”
Gay seemed to regret spilling the tea, as she insisted during a confessional that she had no recollection of the conversation and begged producers to cut it from the episode.
“I said that? Serious face? You can’t use that,” she pleaded. “I don’t know why I said that to her. Delete. Delete.”
Chambers shared details on his time in Australia with the “fun” ladies when he stopped by the Page Six Studio in New York City in February.
“I had to spend four days with them… Those two together… It’s like a comedy show,” he said of Gay and Rose. “I could not stop laughing. We had a lot of fun. It made everything a whole lot better.”
He added of Gay, “She’s a crackup. She’s funny.”
