An insider told The Mirror: “Karen was just doing her job, she was training him hard but in the end he just didn’t want to keep getting told off and corrected all the time.

“It infuriated him. They squabbled a few times during rehearsals and it left him feeling exhausted.

“He just found the whole process too taxing and didn’t think it was worth such a huge effort.”
