Emmerdale star Joe-Warren Plant has been dumped by his girlfriend, according to reports.
The Jacob Gallagher actor, 18, has reportedly split from 24-year-old Nicole Hadlow after three years.
According to The Sun on Sunday, Joe has now moved back in with his mum after the split.
A source told the publication: “Nicole felt sidelined and he’s done little to put her mind at ease.”
Ent Daily has contacted reps for Joe for comment.
It had previously been claimed the couple’s relationship came under strain at the amount of time he was devoting to training with professional Vanessa Bauer.

A source told The Sun: “Joe and Nicole’s relationship has come under strain because of the amount of time he was spending with Vanessa on the ice.
“They’ve been rowing a lot so decided earlier this month it was best Joe move out.
“It wasn’t what he wanted and it’s been really hard on him but his dedication to the show has put their romance under pressure.
“Joe’s keen to see if over the Christmas break he can work things out with Nicole. It’s not looking too hopeful at the moment.”
Joe has been spending hours with Vanessa and the trainers while he works on the show.
