The Only Way Is Essex star Demi Sims has split from her girlfriend Francesca Farago.
The couple dated for just four months, but Demi, 22, has now blocked Canadian bombshell Francesca, 27, after the break-up.
Demi, who shot to fame on the hit ITV show, and Too Hot To Handle star Francesca moved in together after a whirlwind romance.
But the relationship is very much over and Francesca reluctantly revealed on social media that the pair had sadly gone their separate ways.
“I really didn’t want to have to address this today, but I am already getting attacked on social media” penned Francesca to her 4.8million Instagram followers.
“So I might as well bite the bullet since I have no choice.
“Demi and I are no longer together. We decided to go our separate ways this morning.
“Nothing bad happened. We were both loyal to one another and still love each other.
“Sometimes people just don’t work perfectly together and that’s OK.”
And sharing a picture of roses as the backdrop for her heartfelt message, Francesca – who got Demi’s name tattooed across her bum – revealed moving in together too soon was one of the catalysts for the couple’s relationship not working.
“We rushed into living together without knowing if our personalities and daily life meshed well together,” admitted Francesca.
“I wish we could have had a few days to emotionally cope with this in private, but we chose to share our entire relationship with you guys which is why I’m posting this now.”

Eagle-eyed social media fans noticed the couple were no longer following each other on Instagram.
And after much speculation Francesca decided to address the rumours and give her side of the story.
“I would have loved to remain friends and in each other’s lives, but she thought seeing me on social media would be too difficult for her, which is why she wanted to block me,” revealed Francesca.
“In normal life when a couple breaks up this is a coping mechanism and they don’t get scrutinised by thousands of people for how they choose to act after a heartbreaking situation.
“I really want you guys to know nothing bad happened between us at all.
“Please be kind and respect our privacy. It is an extremely difficult time for both of us and negative, inaccurate and presumptuous comments make it much more difficult.
“It did take a toll on our relationship as well.”
Francesca appeared alongside Demi on TOWIE earlier this month and the pair were living together in London.
Demi introduced her to her two sisters Chloe and Frankie in the episode and Francesca revealed that her new girlfriend had immediately asked to marry her after sliding into her DMs on Instagram.
Francesca made the candid admission on TOWIE: DRAGGED OUT.
Demi, who has starred in the ITV show since 2014, has so far not commented on the break-up.
