Gigi Ho Spotted Publicly with Edwin Siu, Dodges Him Instantly

Edwin Siu finally gains recognition after working at TVB for several years. He has been in a relationship with former RTHK host, Gigi Ho, for two years and despite often spotted together, the two were never willing to admit the relationship. Even if they were seen 'sticking together' at Stefan Huynh's wedding earlier, they still insisted that they're "just friends". However, their relationship is an open secret in the industry. It was reported Gigi's horse owner father overly protects his daughter and hopes she marries a good man. Since Gigi's father hasn't really interacted with Edwin before, it appears he isn't too satisfied with him. Recently Edwin's career has been on the rise and a month ago, he purchased a HK$4 million home, but that still wasn't enough to please his 'future father-in-law' and he'll have to work harder.

Yesterday reporters spotted Edwin with Gigi and her younger sister Lily Ho, Johnson Lee and Matthew Ko at the Sha Tin Racecourse to support the horse owners. At first, Edwin and Gigi interacted closely, often taking out their phones to take pictures, but once they got to the lobby and discovered reporters around, Gigi immediately kept her distance. She left her 'boyfriend' with her sister and the others. Edwin later withdrew from the group, went around in a huge circle before joining the group again. They were unwilling to take pictures together to publicly acknowledge their relationship.

Later Edwin and Gigi accepted separate phone interviews. Asked why was there avoidance? Edwin said: 'Probably because we had some news earlier, so she (Gigi) wanted to keep some distance. (Haven't seen Gigi's father?) I'm not sure, you will have to ask them. Maybe he's been busy. (Supporting Gigi's father at the Racecourse?) Nope, my friend has a horse racing, so we met up to go support him. I rarely go into the Racecourse, the two sisters goes more often. (The rumors hasn't affected your relationship with Gigi?) There wasn't even one! Forget it!" Edwin didn't forget to add "Uncle" (Gigi's father) is a nice person and he has told him a lot about horses; he learned a lot from her father.

Gigi disclosed, her father was there too, but they were each with their own group of friends, so didn't see one another. "We weren't at the same place at the Racecourse, so didn't meet each other. (Daddy dislikes you dating Edwin?) No, don't say that. He had always given freedom to my sister and I. Don't ask personal questions. (Do you want to marry a rich man?) He's not that person. I've been involved in the horse industry since I was 19, so my knowledge on horse isn't from now!"

Edwin's birthday was on March 23rd, his friends threw him a surprised birthday party at a restaurant on the 22nd. Edwin said: "They asked me to help get stuff, but then I saw them all there. Many of them gave me glasses, perhaps because of my recent 'Buck Teeth Boy' look."

When asked what his rumored girlfriend Gigi Ho gave him? He denied the relationship, but revealed: "She and her sister Lily Ho spent a lot, they both pitched in to buy me a new computer, probably because they knew my computer is broken. We're just friends though."

Johnson and his girlfriend Bobo Wong ('spring roll') were rumored to have broken up, but Edwin disclosed the two appeared as normal. This is the first time Edwin had seen them attend a private party together. Bobo expressed her relationship with Johnson is stabled.

Yesterday afternoon at the A Great Way to Care II promotion, Edwin was asked since he's a big boy now, when is he planning to get married? He said: "Never thought about it. My career is my priority. (Have consensus with Gigi?) No need, I have always kept my relationships low-profile. Also, we are just good friends." Edwin is pretty lucky in this series, he has several scenes with Aimee Chan and Christine Kuo. He joked: "Many guys envy me. Later, I'll have a kiss scene with Aimee and then another getting wet rain scene with Christine. (Will Gigi Ho get jealous?) There won't be anyone jealous, they should all be happy for me."

Edwin Siu to get a wife before age 40

Lately, Edwin Siu's repeated appearance in series has boosted his popularity. His earlier performances in Daddy Good Deeds and Gloves Come Off was well acclaimed, but he keeps his relationships low-key. His only rumored girlfriend is artist Gigi Ho (HK TV presenter). Edwin admits he does not like to keep mentioning his relationships, "I won't deliberately talk about my relationships. Start off as friends first, then after some time, think about taking the relationship further. (You didn't have many rumors over the years?) I've been really afraid of rumors, don't want to cause too much trouble, so I'm not very close with the female artists. Every time I shoot a series, the [relationship] just stops there."

35 year old Edwin expressed he has heavier workload due to his recent series. Asked if he's actively saving up for marriage? He laughed and said his greatest wish is to buy a home: "Looking for a dream house. I like the lower units or maybe homes in the village. I don't want to be near too many people. (Then get married?) Not thinking about that yet, after all I'll have a decision before age 40. If you don't see me married by then, then I'm really not going to marry!"

Edwin Siu rises to popularity on TV, embraces the singing dream again

Back then when Edwin Siu was a singer, he had pretty good development, but because of one comment, his popularity hit rock bottom, but did not give up. Four years ago, he decided to sign a contract with TVB and start completely over. In the recent months, his popularity has been on the rise again. Following Forensic Heroes III, he participated in Daddy Good Deeds and now the current Gloves Come Off. In these series, he has played important roles, from good to evil to comedic roles, he has done it all and can snag the Most Improved Award any second!

Earlier Edwin's role as Ah Yap in Daddy Good Deeds had stirred up lots of feedback, especially his old-fashioned performance of the song The Distant Her in the series, got Netizens going wild. Rarely in comedy series, this really gave Edwin lots of encouragement: "I just couldn't believe people praised my Gags so much. Someone told me they haven't laughed so much from a series in a long time, that was what made me most happy! (Unfolded your 'comedic cells'?) I don't know! But I added a lot into the role, the more old-fashioned it is, the better!" Edwin claimed he loves being funny and his personality is similar to Ah Yap. "I like to make the people around me happy, I am the leisure team leader, responsible to lighten up the atmosphere!"

As for the opportunity to sing Daddy Good Deed's theme song (Never Been Mindful), Edwin directly expressed he was very happy when he heard the unexpected news and he was able to re-live the feeling of being a singer: "It's been so many years since I've sang a Cantonese song, really miss it! Before I didn't understand the meaning, but now I have more life experiences. (Sign with a record label?) Not at the moment. I will focus on increasing my impact in series first, but I do hope I can still sing too!"

Once the camera changes, Edwin goes from the upbeat sunshine boy from Daddy Good Deeds to an rough manic in Gloves Come Off. There is great room to display his acting skills: "I play Selena Li's first lover, but then after an accident my personal nature changed completely. I would beat her and there was one scene where I throw the wheelchair at her!" Also in his upcoming two series The Last Steep Aliment and The Confidant, Edwin plays the big villain. No wonder Edwin expressed this is a prosperous year for him.

Edwin Siu 'banished' to Mainland, starts from scratch in HK at age 31

In the recent series Daddy Good Deeds, 35 year old Edwin Siu plays the lovesick Malaysian-Chinese "Yip Kwai" (Ah Yap), which has been well-received by audience. Even his co-star Linda Chung praised that he's just too cute. However, Edwin won't feel too proud or have too much pride. It's just in reality, he has been in the industry for 10 years, but has experienced a lot more than artists in the same year as him. When he debuted, he was very popular, but due to just one comment, he was banished to Mainland for 4 years. That feeling is just as if he was thrown down from a 100 story building, very disturbing. Today, he rather enjoy the reality of starting all over.

In 2002, Edwin entered the industry through a singing contest. Back then, his rivals were Juno Mak and Shawn Yue. At one point, he was called 'Prince Siu' in an interview and was extremely popular. When the high-spirited Edwin won the newcomer award, his one comment "Evil Cannot Win Good" took away everything he had. {C}{C}(Which was thought to imply that he's ridiculing Juno Mak, at the time it was rumored Juno had his wealthy father to rely on. He offended Juno's father and was shut out in the music scene){C}{C} Later, he was forced to go to Mainland and was finally able to return to HK 4 years later. He joined TVB and started all over, as a newcomer.

Edwin frankly said he was forced to go to Mainland back then. The feeling was similar to being banished. He lost everything in one night. "At the time when I found out, I really was scared. It felt like I fell from the 101th floor of a building. Although before I went to Mainland, I already had a lot of negative news, like an arrow striking my heart, I started falling from the top floor, but that was still in HK. When I had to leave HK, it was like I rapidly fell from the 70th or 80th floor down to the ground. It was truly hard to bear. At the time, I really thought of switching professions, but I was reluctant."

During the 4 year struggle in Mainland, Edwin still felt reluctant and told his mother that he wants to start over in Hong Kong. "When I got back, my mom said she really wanted to see me on TV. She asked me if I could come back and do it, that time I was already 31 years old, it's my last chance. After all, I decided to come back and was prepared to start again as a newcomer. I won't get the lead actor roles, but at least its better than before. I got popular too fast, nothing was concrete, but now I am slowly feeling that its really true, I hope my development gets better and better!"
