John Tesh has confirmed that he had a relationship with Oprah Winfrey.

In the unauthorised Oprah: A Biography by Kitty Kelley, Tesh is cited as having told his former Entertainment Tonight anchor that he and Winfrey dated in the 1970s.

Kelley claims that the pair even lived together while they were both working at the same local news station in Nashville. Winfrey and Tesh allegedly ended their relationship because of the strain of being an interracial couple.

Tesh has yet to comment on the biography but confirmed in an interview with ET that he and Winfrey remain good friends.

Oprah: A Biography is available to buy from today.
