A spokesperson for the stars said: "They have split up, but they remain friends. Any speculation about Kara being upset due to Joe's flirting is completely untrue."
Swash and Tointon met when they began playing brother and sister Mickey Miller and Dawn Swann in the soap in 2005.
They announced they were going out together when Swash won ITV's 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!' in November 2008.
