She finds men and women she finds attractive online or in real life and after safety checks for work purposes – she can sleep with them without her boyfriend.

Jade, 27, said: “We’re together 24/7 with work and living together – apart from when I’m in bed with someone else.” And despite their unconventional lifestyle, the pair never argue and struggles to pinpoint the last big blowout they had. She added: “We don’t argue about who we share a bed with, but we can annoy one another about having mushrooms on a pizza.” Josh admitted there are only two deal-breakers for him in their agreement – as he said he’d feel “hurt” if a partner makes Jade a meal or makes her laugh. “We’re soulmates but that brings in a different connection I’m not comfortable with”, he said.

Jade, who has 69.4k followers on Instagram under @littlepidge, said: “People think we don’t really love one another. “They get really mad, the comments were insane, but I expected it – especially from people on Facebook. “They have strong opinions, but we stick to one rule and that’s to not hurt anyone; otherwise, why do they care? “We’re happy and not hurting anyone – I believe deep down that no one really hates what we’re doing – it’s just their online persona.” Josh agreed, as he said: “Leave people to do what the f*** they like – the hate just doesn’t bother us.” And Jade even insisted that she has a lot to thank the keyboard warriors for. She said: “They bring us a lot of views, so bring it on.” She added: “People who meet us in person after judging us realise our relationship dynamic – we’re a normal couple who have a sexy hobby.” The couple, who moved from the UK to Cyprus three years ago, revealed they battle the same misconceptions – that they’re not committed to their relationship and just want an excuse to sleep around. Hitting back, Josh said that “nine times out of ten” they’re all wrong and there’s one major mix-up. He said: “I don’t really have an interest in sleeping with other girls. The couple have hit back at haters Credit: Jam Press/@littlepidge Jade says people feel threatened by their relationship Credit: Jam Press/@littlepidge “I would, but I don’t; that’s not my thing – my main thing is seeing and hearing about Jade with guys. I like to see her express her sexuality. “I also have a lot of people saying that I’m gay – I’m not – and Jade is bisexual.” Jade admitted that she’s a “sensitive soul” and told herself she wouldn’t read the comments, but ultimately. And whilst she couple found a few supporters defending them, she was surprised at the lack of open-mindedness and understanding. She said: “I knew we were going to get hate, but I did think there would be a slightly larger percentage of people that would have the brains to think, ‘well they’re enjoying it, so who cares?’ “I found myself actually laughing for days – the craziest one was saying that people like us are the reason there needs to be a genocide… like what? That’s so extreme.” She added: “I think people are bothered and threatened about what they don’t understand or what they wouldn’t be comfortable with personally. “They don’t understand how a relationship could work like this – maybe they’re jealous.”Josh also believes people waste too much energy judging others. “I don’t understand why someone would spend £1000 on a Pokémon card – I wouldn’t do it – but it doesn’t make me angry.” Jade agreed. “Even in our open relationship world, I don’t understand how people are in fully open relationships where they go off and date other people and fall in love – that’s crazy to me. “I don’t understand it, but it doesn’t bother me.” Comment now
