JEM SPLIT WITH HER ROMEO
HOLLYOAKS co-stars Owen Warner and Jemma Donovan have called time on their romance – just as the couple they play hit a rocky patch in their love life.
The pair’s characters – Romeo Nightingale and Rayne Royce – are facing the fallout of her lies in the Channel 4 soap, including a fake cancer scare and pretending to self harm.
In real life, the actors went public with their relationship in June after meeting on set.
Owen was introduced to Jemma’s famous dad Jason and they headed on two holidays.
But things have since fizzled out.
A source said: “They had great fun together but, long term, decided it’s better to just be friends.
“They are both super- professional, so it won’t change anything at work.”

GREG: MY BRITNEY PASSION
GREG DAVIES has confessed to being a secret Britney Spears fan – and even wooed a girl to her music.
The comic, who is back for a second series at the helm of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, says the pop star’s tunes were his guilty pleasure.
Greg said: “If you were to look at my playlist, you could be forgiven for thinking I am a teenage girl from the Nineties.
“I once successfully wooed a girl over a period of months to Oops I Did it Again by Britney Spears.

“I used to give her a lift to work and we bonded over the song and got together. It was very much Britney who brought us together. The relationship was, of course, doomed. Britney’s fault.”
Greg returns with the music quiz tomorrow at 9pm on Sky Max, alongside captains Noel Fielding, Daisy May Cooper and guest Jamali Maddix.
