Yahoo News The Traitors' Mollie Pearce splits from boyfriend ahead of TV comeback
The Traitors’ Mollie Pearce has confirmed she has split from boyfriend Max Backwell.
The star, who appeared on the BBC show earlier this year, revealed that her and Max decided to part ways after three years together, though remain friends.
“After a number of happy years together Max and I have decided to part ways,” Mollie told MailOnline. “It was amicable and we're both still friends.”

The news comes after it was announced this week that Mollie will be a contestant on the next season of Dancing on Ice.
"It will be fun, I want to challenge myself, I'm ready for the challenge," she told Lorraine upon the confirmation.
Mollie reached the final of The Traitors in the most-recent season, though just lost out on a £95,000 prize after failing to identify friend Harry Clark as a Traitor in the final roundtable.
Speaking after the betrayal, she admitted: "I think, deep down, I probably knew [Harry was a Traitor], but that slight doubt, I just couldn't do it. It's a tough one, but it is what it is."

Harry recently revealed that he and Mollie, who both struck up a bond on the show, are no longer close.
"You naturally drift apart," he told Metro. "Where everyone’s so busy now, that’s what’s happened. Me and Paul [Gorton] drifted but into the same show, so we talk all the time. With everyone else, we don’t really talk as much. I still wish them all the best."
Meanwhile, Mollie revealed earlier this year that she would be interested in returning for an All-Stars version of The Traitors – though only if she could be a villain.
"I'm gonna come back on the All-Stars as like, the biggest villain of the show, ever," she told Digital Spy. "I will literally be murdering everyone."
The Traitors series 1-2 are streaming on BBC iPlayer. Two more series and a celebrity spin-off have already been confirmed.
