Split takes toll on 'drained' Waterman

Hannah Waterman has reportedly been pictured looking strained and exhausted following her recent split from Ricky Groves.

The former EastEnders star was described as looking "middle-aged" when she was spotted arriving at rehearsal rooms at a North London chapel this week.

Waterman, 34, parted ways with her husband of three years during the festive holidays, later publicly denying that her dramatic weight loss was a factor.

An onlooker told the Daily Mail that the strain is beginning to show. "I wasn't actually sure if it was Hannah at first because she looked so old.

"She's supposed to be such a sex symbol now because she's lost so much weight. But I guess you can lose weight too fast - sometimes your face doesn't look so good. The way she was dressed made her look really middle-aged."

Groves, 41, is also reportedly heartbroken by the breakdown in the couple's marriage.
