The shock announcement comes after The Mirror Online reported how a friend of Scarlett’s had revealed that Lee stormed out on her last weekend following a row, but how Scarlett has begged for him to come back.

Further evidence of their break-up came when they both unfollowed each other on Instagram and personal trainer Lee changed his Facebook relationship profile to hidden.

The friend said: “It looks like a case of leopards never change their spots. There were still a lot of trust issues between them.”

They added: “There have been a lot of arguments recently and he’s made a big deal about hiding his relationship status.”

This isn’t the first time the couple have broken up.

Back in April, Scarlett changed her Facebook profile to ‘single’. At the time, the split was thought to have come after Lee’s ex-girlfriend of two-years, Sam Irving, whom he dumped in December before dating Scarlett straight after, claimed he had sent her pleading messages.

At the time, Scarlett also posted a video, in which she appears to reference Lee as a ‘pathological liar’.

She ranted: “Just always seem to choose cheating pathological liars. I just choose lying cheats, it’s a skill.”

Heartbroken Scarlett added: “For anyone who needs this right now, I just want to say if somebody feels you’re not enough for them then that isn’t a reflection on you, it’s a reflection on them.

“Unless you’re Henry VIII, then one girl is normally enough.”

Wise words, Scarlett.

The pair reconciled just a month later and have since put on several loved-up displays on Instagram, with the star referring to Lee as ‘the best boyfriend ever’.

Yet her friend believes this time their split may be final, after just six months of dating.
