Emily Atack has reportedly split up with her Big Brother star boyfriend Liam McGough.
The couple were together for seven months but are said to have gone their separate ways earlier this week.
The 32-year-old and Liam 'have been friends for a long time' before they started dating but have 'sadly have decided to separate', it's been claimed.
"They kept their relationship private for a while and only went public when the news broke that they were together," a source said.
News of the two getting close was first published during the summer last year, when they were spotted at a restaurant together.
Over the course of the year, they have kept their relationship low-key.

"Sadly, they decided they were better off as friends and parted ways a few days ago, but it's all very amicable," the insider added to The Sun.
Mirror have contacted representatives for comment.
Liam first made his TV debut back in 2007 on Big Brother 8 with Brian Belo, finishing third.
Despite his time as a reality star on Big Brother, Liam lives a life out of the spotlight and works as a tree surgeon.
A source close to the couple revealed earlier this year : "They’ve been dating for a short while but it’s started to get more serious recently.”

On a third picture of the vile messages, Emily said: "Abuse that no one is talking about."
