Who is Charlie Brooks’ ex-partner James Fuller and why did the pair split up?

DANCING On Ice star Charlie Brooks is understood to be single after a fleeting relationship with producer James Fuller.

The pair allegedly met in the summer of 2024, but just weeks after becoming official, they'd parted ways.

Who is Charlie Brooks' ex-partner James Fuller?

James Fuller is a producer, based in Primrose Hill, London.

After studying a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Television, James explored various creative fields.

He worked as a DOP, photographer, writer, and as a director in marketing & publicity for Hollywood films including Twilight (2008).

James also founded the creative production company Spun Films in 2009, where he produced video and interactive content for the multi award-winning app-based fashion publication, Post Matter.

This led to him picking up Nike, Dior and Gucci as principal clients.

After Spun merged with digital agency Meri Media in 2014 to form Matter Productions, James ran it as the Head of Production until early 2017.

He then became freelance in order to "broaden his horizons";, his website reveals.

And when he isn't working, he enjoys "catching a film at the Everyman Hampstead".

James also enjoys "walking on Primrose Hill, Hampstead Heath or in Regents Park and frequenting one of London's many fantastic museums, galleries, restaurants or music venues".

How did Charlie Brooks and James Fuller meet?

The 43-year-old, loved for playing Janine Butcher, made her new romance public as she cosied up to producer James Fuller during a walk in London in January, 2025.

James later added his own snap of him and Charlie holding hands alongside a love heart emoji.

Why James Fuller and Charlie Brooks split up?

Just weeks after making things public, James commented on one of Charlie's Instagram posts with her dancing partner Eric, referring to her as an “amicable ex girlfriend.”

He said: "Damn, you guys are elegant, graceful, and gorgeous! It's a 10 for me! Can't wait to see you skate again this Sunday!"

"You are easily the coolest, most thoughtful, wonderful, amicable ex-girlfriend and current best friend that a boy could wish for.

"So glad to be on this journey with you. You got this girl! So, so proud of you that words do no justice," the Daily Mail reported.

However, a source told The Sun: “They’re still really close but she wanted to concentrate on Dancing On Ice.

“It’s very demanding and she’s training six days a week. It’s hard to keep a romantic relationship going with all the hard work she’s putting in but they’re still best friends.”

The Sun has contacted Charlie’s representatives for comment.
