Shameless star Jody Latham and Too Hot To Handle’s Chloe Veitch SPLIT
SHAMELESS star Jody Lathan and reality star Chloe Veitch have ended their fledgling romance, The Sun can exclusively reveal.
We first broke the news last month that the 39-year-old, who played Lip Gallagher in the Channel 4 series, had been seeing the 23-year-old Netflix stunner for several weeks.
But now sources close to the former couple confirm they have called it quits.
The insider reveals: “Despite Jody and Chloe‘s best efforts, things just didn’t work out.
“Distance was a major factor in them deciding to call it a day. Jody lives in up North and Chloe is based in London and in the end that came between them.”
And although the pair initially were not phased by their 16-year age-gap, pals say it cast some doubt on their future together.

“At the end of the day, they are in very different places in the life,” the source adds.
“They didn’t think age would be an issue, but as time went on, they realised it was more significant than they first thought.”
It also appears as if the pair are keen to move on from their brief fling, as they have recently unfollowed each other on instagram.
The Sun has contacted reps for Chloe and Jody.
The former couple never went ‘official’ with their romance on social media, but they did post flirty comments on each other’s posts while they were dating.
Chloe recently commented on a snap of her now ex-boyfriend: “Oh Jody.”
Jody replied to Chloe with three heart emojis.
The actor previously dated N-Dubz singer and X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
He even appeared in her music video, Sight of You.
On Too Hot To Handle, Chloe enjoyed flings with David Birtwistle and Bryce Hirschberg.
She later appeared on The Circle USA and fell for Mitchell Eason but the pair’s romance failed to progress due to the distance between the pair.

Jody went on to star on EastEnders after Shameless but has spent recent years focusing on his cosmetics empire rather than acting.
The Sun recenly exclusively revealed, however, that his business Epitique UK Ltd is now dormant.
