Kym Marsh, Jamie Lomas end relationship

Former Hollyoaks actor Jamie Lomas and Coronation Street's Kym Marsh have ended their 15-month relationship, it has been confirmed.

The couple, who went public with their romance at 2008's Inside Soap Awards launch, had been living together in Norton Village, Cheshire in recent months but have now parted ways.

A Corrie spokesperson this afternoon said: "Jamie has moved out of Kym's house in Cheshire. There is no-one else involved and neither party wish to comment at this time."

In November last year, the pair were said to be engaged. The rumours were sparked after Marsh, best known for her role as Weatherfield's Michelle Connor, confirmed that she was considering marriage amid reports that she had been pushing for a long-term commitment.

A month later, the soap stars revealed that they were expecting a child together, but they were soon hit by tragedy when their baby boy Archie died shortly after being born 18 weeks premature in February.

Marsh's romance with Lomas, who played Hollyoaks' Warren Fox for three years, came following the breakdown of her six-year marriage to Jack Ryder.
