A firm in China has apologised to Taiwanese actor Eddie Peng for failing to stop rumours of him being gay from spreading on its app.

In January last year, there were several rumours on the Chinese Internet claiming that the 39-year-old was coming out of the closet with Taiwanese actor Danson Tang, 37.
