Strictly Come Dancing couple Ali Bastian and Brian Fortuna have reportedly ended their whirlwind romance.

The former Hollyoaks actress, 28, was heard telling friends that it is all over with the dancing star.

The pair, who met whilst starring together on the BBC One reality show last year, went public with their romance only a week after they were controversially voted off.

The split is reported to be amicable, with the couple returning to being just friends.
