Kate Braithwaite has been dumped by her long-term lover following dates with Declan Donnelly.
The actress and dancer left van driver Richard Bennett devastated after confessing her feelings for the I'm A Celebrity presenter.
A friend told The People, "Kate and Richard had a big heart-to-heart and decided to break up. Kate admitted she and Dec had been on another date in the last few weeks. She told him she had feelings for Dec - and Richard was shattered.
"He was quite prepared to believe her story that she and Dec were just friends. But when Kate admitted she had seen Dec again, that was it. Richard told her it was over and has been out with his pals drowning his sorrows this week."
Donnelly insisted, "It's really nothing serious at this stage. She's a great girl."
