In a statement to The Sun, a rep for Samira said: “Samira will be taking some time out from her relationship with Frankie to focus on herself and future work opportunities.

“They have spoken in depth about the recent events and Samira feels a break for now is the best thing for both of them so they can see what the future holds.”

Earlier in the day, Samira had tweeted out to say tabloid claims she and Frankie were locked in “crisis talks” about their relationship were false.
