Both stars have kept relatively schtum on the break-up, but sources and know-it-alls have now come forward to reveal the reason behind the split, with one insider claiming that the relationship had become “toxic” and “resentful”.

Yikes.

The source explained: “Their relationship became so toxic, it was damaging for both of them so she just wants to be single for now and get her head sorted.

"Ellie’s hectic schedule put a huge amount of pressure on their relationship and Dougie became resentful, which caused a lot of tension and rows between them.

"Dougie has been trying to carve out an acting career in LA too, so it was hard for them to spend time together.

"The rows escalated over the past few weeks and became so bad, Ellie had no choice but to end the relationship - despite the decision leaving her heartbroken and an emotional wreck.”

To be fair, we’d be an emotional wreck too if we split from Dougie bloomin’ Poynter.

Despite the seemingly bitter split, the insider went on to add to Closer magazine that a reunion might not be out of the question, quipping: “Ellie hasn’t ruled out a reunion with Dougie, but for now she needs some space to work out what she wants.”

Hmm, we don’t think a ‘toxic’ romance is the best thing to reignite, guys… But each to their own.
