The actress, who plays Maria Connor in the ITV soap, separated from Thorp (Chris Gray) before Christmas, around the same time that her DOI partner Longchambon apparently confessed to having feelings for her and left his girlfriend, Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe.

However, Ghadie has now insisted that there is no link between her break-up with Thorp and alleged romance with Longchambon, claiming that their relationship finished "a while ago".
"Will and I split up a while ago and I am single now and concentrating on the show and my daughter Freya," she told Ok.
The soap star tweeted today (January 8) that she "feel[s] safe in @slongchambon['s] arms", before sharing footage of an "amazing" performance by the skating pro.

Metcalfe, meanwhile, has claimed that she learnt of Longchambon's feelings for Ghadie on Christmas Day.
Longchambon was this week photographed moving out of the home he shared with Metcalfe. The couple met when they were partnered up on Dancing on Ice in 2010.
