Lomas 'to crack US' after Marsh split

Former Hollyoaks star Jamie Lomas has been tipped to concentrate on his US career ambitions following his split from Coronation Street's Kym Marsh.

The couple announced yesterday that they had ended their 15-month relationship and no other parties were involved.

It is thought that Lomas has been considering the future of his acting career in recent months and will now plough ahead with plans to secure roles across the pond.

A source told The Sun: "It always seemed a bit odd that he was thinking of cracking the States when [Kym's] work is in Manchester. He must have known the writing was on the wall."

Lomas left his role as Hollyoaks' Warren Fox in March after three years with the soap.

Meanwhile, Marsh has repeatedly pledged her future to playing Weatherfield's Michelle Connor. Earlier this year, it was claimed that she had put her Cheshire home on the market because she wants to live closer to the show's Manchester set.
