Coronation Street actress Nikki Sanderson (Candice Stowe) is dating Manchester United player Paul Tierney, following her split from childhood sweetheart Jamie Meakin.
The couple apparently decided to end their relationship when Jamie became suspicious about Nikki's growing friendship with the footballer.
A source told the Sunday Mirror, "He called Nikki at about 2am and could hear Paul in the background. Jamie asked her what Tierney was doing there and she said they'd been playing Monopoly.
"Jamie went ballistic. He was pretty sure that they wouldn't be playing board games at that time in the morning."
The source added, "The rows about Tierney grew and grew and in the end it's what finished them off."
