'Eastenders' actress Kara Tointon has split her from her former co-star in the soap James Alexandrou who played Martin Fowler for many years on the soap.
The pair decided to end their 18-month relationship this week after drifting apart. They have spent much less time with each other this year since James left the show.
Alexandrou has toured with the Royal Shakespeare Company since quitting his long-running role on the soap in February.
Tointon plays Dawn Swann in the soap and has been at the centre of some major storylines over the past few months.
A spokesperson for the pair told the Sunday Mirror that the split was “very amicable”.
