Ricky Whittle has reportedly dumped Rumer Willis.
The 32-year-old actor - who is best known for his role in British TV soap 'Hollyoaks' - started dating the 26-year-old socialite over the summer, but has reportedly grown tired of her "constant attention seeking."
A source said that heartthrob was horrified when the aspiring singer, who is Demi Moore and ex-husband Bruce Willis' eldest daughter, started behaving childishly and wearing more risqué clothing.
The insider told US OK! magazine: "It all got to be too much for Ricky. He asked her to tone it down, but she refused.
"Her 'look at me' act wore Ricky down. It's a shame, because he really liked her."
Ricky hinted their romance had hit a rough patch on Twitter late last month, writing: "It's better to have your heart broken by walking away than to have it break daily waiting for things to get better."
The actor recently won Demi's seal of approval, but a source previously claimed he was avoiding Rumer's father.
The insider said: "Ricky's nervous. He's met Demi on multiple occasions now, but he keeps putting off spending time with Bruce.
"Part of the reason is he's heard that Bruce has a reputation for giving Rumer's boyfriends a tough time.
"Apparently he loves to wind them up for his own amusement."

Taylor Swift likes to bake cookies for her fans.
The 24-year-old singer has spent most of the week in London where she has put on several showcases, at which she has been cooking up a storm for her supporters because she finds it "very exciting" trying out different recipes on her fans and finds baking relaxing.
Speaking to Andrea Zara on KISS FM UK, she said: "I made cookies for the first group, and then they kind of talked about it online, and so all the other people were like ... 'I wonder if I get invited to one, I hope she bakes for that one too.'
"So I'm like, 'OK, I've got to bake for all of them' ... But for me, it's actually really fun, because you get to try out all kinds of new recipes and stuff, and for me that's actually very exciting.
"It's one of the things I really like to do. It kind of calms me down, because if I'm thinking about measuring out all these ingredients and just kind of following sort of a recipe, then it just is - I'm not thinking about things that stress me out. Yeah, it's kind of like - it's just kind of like a comfort thing."
The blonde beauty has been in London to promote her upcoming fifth studio album '1989' - named after the year she was born - and admits she was inspired by several 1980s artists when making the record.
She added: "I think I have a few artists from the late '80s who I think, in my mind, were making the most incredible, bold, risky decisions as far as pop music goes.
"They were really kind of ahead of their time, and those are the artists that really inspire me - like Annie Lennox, and what Madonna was doing in the late '80s, and Peter Gabriel, and Fine Young Cannibals. I just feel like that music still holds up."

Katy Perry will perform at next year's Super Bowl.
The 'Roar' hitmaker - who has been rumoured to appear at the half time ceremony since the NFL shortlisted her in August - will take to the stage at the annual sporting event in February 2015, sources have confirmed to Billboard.
It is thought the raven-haired beauty will be joined by Coldplay and fellow star Rihanna at the hotly-anticipated event at the University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
The news follows on from reports the NFL were planning to charge artists to play at the show after the broadcast reported a record-breaking audience of 111.5 million last year.
However, Katy, 29, has previously said she wouldn't take part in the event if she was asked to pay for the privilege.
She said at ESPN's College Game Day over the weekend: "I'm not the kind of girl who would pay to play the Super Bowl."
Speculation around the performance has grown since it was noticed the 'Part Of Me' singer had a gap in her 'Prismatic' world tour dates around the time of the Super Bowl.
Sources also confirmed to the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "A deal is being hammered out for Katy to play the Super Bowl."
The NFL has so far declined to comment on the reports.

Barbara Walters had a lumpectomy following a cancer scare.
The 85-year-old star has revealed she went under the knife more than five years ago after she discovered a lump on her breast and has only ever told a few people about it.
Talking about her scare at the Breast Cancer Research Symposium and Awards luncheon in New York on Thursday (09.10.14), Barbara said: "Some years back, more than five now, I discovered a small lump in my breast. I had a lumpectomy. I hadn't talked about it. There was no reason to. There were other choices that were possible, this was mine. I told a few people and I am fine. I've had no recurrence."
The TV presenter, who was being honoured with the Sandra Taub Humanitarian Award, praised the event's host, Amy Robach, who discovered she had cancer during an on-air mammogram as part of a segment on 'Good Morning America'.
Barbara said: "When [Amy] discovered she had breast cancer, she handled it in the most magnificent and wise, sensitive way. I think what Amy has done, and the path she has chosen, has saved the lives of many women."
'The View' co-host also admitted to having her ovaries removed as a precautionary measure after her sister passed away from ovarian cancer.

Iggy Azalea's ex-boyfriend claims they are getting divorced - even though she didn't realise they were married.
Hefe Wine has filed for divorce from the 24-year-old rapper after insisting they "agreed to be married" after living together in Texas, where the law states a man and a woman can be considered legally married if they live together in the state for any period of time and agree to tie the knot.
According to TMZ, the rapper's ex - who last month claimed to have a sex tape of Iggy - allegedly insists the former couple "agreed to be married, holding themselves out as man and wife and began residing together in the State of Texas on or about September, 2008."
Despite his claims, Iggy's representative told the gossip website that she has never agreed to marry him and is just after a payday.
The pair have been in a dispute about the music she penned when they were together and should the judge recognise their marriage then Hefe will be entitled to half of everything accumulated during that time.
Iggy - who has been dating LA Lakers basketball player Nick Young for a year - recently filed a lawsuit against Hefe, accusing him of illegally downloading the entire contents of her personal computer while they were living together in Atlanta, Georgia in 2009.
However, she didn't make any mention of the alleged sex tape in court documents.
Iggy has denied the supposed sex tape - which Hefe has reportedly tried to sell for a seven-figure sum - exists and following the allegations she told the crowd at her gig in Shepherd's Bush, west London, last month that she'd had a "hell of a week" but thanked her fans for getting her through it.

Jennifer Lawrence's ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult has slammed her nude photo leak as "shocking".
The 'Young Ones' actor has spoken out about the naked images of his former lover, which she has said were originally sent to him before they were hacked, for the first time in an awkward exchange in which he admitted it was a "shame" they were posted onto the internet.
When asked about his thoughts on the leak during an interview on 'Good Day New York', the 24-year-old actor looked uncomfortable in his seat with his eyes firmly fixed on the ground.
He then crossed his arms before looking back up to the reporter and replying: "It's shocking that things like that happen in the world ... it's a shame."
Jennifer is one of many stars to have fallen victim to the iCloud hackers, as well as Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Kelly Brook, and recently claimed she initially sent the images to Nicholas because they were involved in a long-distance relationship and she preferred him looking at them to porn.
The 'Hunger Games' actress - who split from the hunk earlier this year - said: "I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship for four years.
"It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."
She has also hit out at the hackers, describing their actions as "sex crimes".
The blonde beauty - who was targeted for the second time last month when trolls released a further 55 images of her on websites 4Chan and Reddit - added: "It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime. It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change."
Following the former couple's split, both are said to have moved on in their relationships with Jennifer dating Chris Martin, while Nicholas is thought to be seeing 'Twilight' star Kristen Stewart.

However, the 'Dragons' Den' star might have some trouble pleasing a picky Simon, who has previously explained how much he "hates" clutter.
Speaking in 2009 he said: "I hate belongings. I hate clutter. It really bothers me because I can't think properly. If you've got distractions, your mind goes nuts.
"I like things to be clean, to look nice. Then I can focus."
Luckily, Kelly has had a lot of experience with high-profile clients, including: Victoria Beckham, Sir Elton John, Frank Lampard and Christine Bleakley.

Gary Barlow says Take That fans aren't "interested" in their alleged tax dodging.
The 43-year-old singer, bandmates Mark Owen and Howard Donald and manager Jonathan Wild came under fire earlier this year when it was claimed they'd put £20million into a tax avoidance scheme, but he says it won't affect their careers.
Speaking about the scandal for the first time, he said: "It's a problem. It's something we've got to get to the bottom of and sort.
"Our fans, they want to buy our records and watch our tours. They're not interested."
The former 'X Factor' judge also insisted they're forbidden from talking too much about their alleged tax affairs because of on-going legal proceedings.
He told The Sun newspaper: "We can't talk about it. And to be honest, I don't want to talk about it. It's actually a private thing."
Meanwhile, Howard has claimed Jason Orange's departure from the band last month after 23 years had "absolutely nothing" to do with the avoidance scheme and said he would be more than welcome at their next tour.
He said: "We'll invite him but whether he comes or not is another thing."
Former bandmate Robbie Williams will also not be returning to work with the 'Rule the World' hitmakers.
Mark admitted: "We've known for some time Robbie wasn't going to be on the record.
"It has been a bit tricky what's gone on - it's not the easiest.
"Hopefully by this time next year, the tax thing will be sorted out, we'll be doing live shows and it will be a positive time for us."

Jennifer Lawrence is filming love scenes with her ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult for 'X-Men: Apocalypse'.
The pair - who split earlier this year - play mutant lovers in the next installment of the Marvel comic book picture and have been forced to put their differences aside for the sake of the steamy script.
Jennifer, 24 - who plays the blue cat-suited Mystique in the action-adventure film and is currently dating Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - will get close to Nicholas (Beast) as the plot of the upcoming movie's script centres around the relationship between the characters.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It's a huge ensemble franchise but the point of the latest film was to strip that back and focus on Jen and Nick's characters' relationship."
The former couple - who met of the set of 'X-Men: First Class' in 2011 - ended their relationship in August, citing their busy schedules for the reason behind the split.
Despite their change in circumstance, it was too late for movie bosses to rewrite the script, and the pair are said to be determined to make it work.
A source said: "Earlier this year that seemed like a great idea, but now they've split and it's too late to rewrite the script. They are very professional of course, and will make it work."
Meanwhile, Nick, 24, is thought to be dating 'Twilight' star Kristen Stewart and was recently spotted cosying up to the actress at a Cinema Society bash in New York, after meeting on the set of their new movie 'Equals'.
