Heroes star Panettiere dumps Jones

Heroes star Hayden Panettiere has reportedly called time on her fling with TV presenter Steve Jones - because she doesn't want a long distance relationship.

Contactmusic reports that the 19-year-old was spotted dining with Jones at London's Nobu Berkeley restaurant in May and later that month the pair was spotted getting cosy on David Furnish's yacht while holidaying in the French Riviera for the Cannes Film Festival.

But Panettiere decided to call things off with the 32-year-old - because jetting between her home in America and the TV star's UK base would be too trying.

She says, "I'm single and mingling. Steve lives in London, the distance is a bit too much. I'm not dating anyone specifically and I'm not looking for a house with anyone. Cannes was a great experience. I was on vacation and some friends were going so I decided to come along. It was fun."
