'Geordie Shore' stars Holly Hagan and Kyle Christie have split up.
The 23-year-old beauty has admitted that starring alongside one another in the MTV reality show put an unnatural amount of pressure on their relationship and revealed that they've now decided to try to "take it slower".
Holly said: "We went through a lot of bad s**t last series, to the point we ended up not being together anymore.
"We were pushed into being boyfriend and girlfriend for the show and it had a negative effect on our relationship. We're trying to take it slower."
The curvaceous star - who previously had flings with co-stars James Tindale and Scott 'Scotty T' Tomlin - also claimed 'Geordie Shore' producers had a part to play in their split.
She told new! magazine: "There's a lot of manipulation going on behind the scenes. They just want the best for the series but it means they don't always take into consideration how it affects everyone else."
Meanwhile, the aspiring singer from Thornaby-on-Tees believes her 23-year-old co-star Marnie Simpson and her former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star fiance Ricky Rayment are in it for the long haul.
She said: "I've seen a complete change in Marnie ... I saw it coming but personally I wouldn't like to be engaged at that age. It doesn't mean they have to get married straight away."

Peter Dickson has quit 'The X Factor'.
The booming voiceover artist has revealed he is bowing out of the ITV series after 11 years, having become synonymous with the show since he joined in 2004.
Announcing the news on Twitter, he wrote: "After the best 11 years with the X Factor, it's time for me to check out and cut loose. (sic)"
The 58-year-old TV announcer - who also works on 'Britain's Got Talent' - was known as the distinctive voice of the live shows during which he would announce the contestants as they took to the stage.
The news comes ahead of the beginning of the show's 12th series, which has received a huge revamp following the departures of host Dermot O'Leary and judges Louis Walsh and Mel B.
The new series - which is expected to kick off next month - will see series 11 judges Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini joined by BBC Radio 1 presenter Nick Grimshaw and 'Poison' singer Rita Ora, with Olly Murs and Caroline Flack hosting the show.
Other changes made to the show for the 2015 series include new 'The Xtra Factor' presenters Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom who have replaced Sarah-Jane Crawford, and a return to live auditions in front of a studio audience.
Peter first began his career in broadcasting at the BBC as the corporation's youngest ever TV news presenter aged 17.

A porn star has been kicked off of 'The X Factor' after a security guard recognised her from an adult movie.
Brooklyn Blue, 24, had successfully got through three rounds of auditions under her real name, Becky Constantinou, and had been shortlisted to perform for Simon Cowell and the other judges until a member of the security team at Wembley revealed her secret identity to ITV bosses.
The busty blonde - who has admitted to romping on camera with 700 men and 300 women - said: "The guard came up to me with a knowing smile and said, 'I know you from somewhere, you're that Brooklyn girl'.
"A few days later I got a call from the show makers asking if I'd done any modelling and my stage names.
"It was clear I'd been grassed up, but I did my best to dodge the questions. I then had a long think and decided to come clean in an email.
"They phoned me back to say I'm out. I'm devastated."
Becky - who previously dated former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star Kirk Norcross - thinks it's unfair she's been kicked off the show, especially as she'd spent hundreds of pounds on signing lessons in a bid to impress the judges.
She told The Sun newspaper: "I know 'X Factor' is a family show, but porn shouldn't define who I am. I was never going to put on a sex show for Simon."
An 'X Factor' source confirmed Becky has been dropped from the competition, saying: "After checks, she was told she wouldn't be going further."

Mary Berry's husband "laughed himself silly" when she was voted the world's 73rd sexiest woman.
The 80-year-old star - who presents 'The Great British Bake Off' alongside Paul Hollywood - beat the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Daisy Lowe and Christina Hendricks in this year's FHM top 100, but her husband Paul Hunnings found it hilarious.
Mary said: "(Paul) has always told me to keep doing what makes me happy and you could not have a nicer job than this."
The hugely popular BBC One baking competition returns to screens next week for its sixth series and Mary has revealed the 12 new contestants were much more competitive than previous years, where competitors have been more supportive of one another.
Mary told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They started off quite cool. We haven't had that before. It took time for them to bond. They were very separate.
"In the past they have looked to see what others were doing but this time, they went out straight on their own. They had obviously watched 'Bake Off' and they were very channeled to do their own thing without looking left or right."
The contestants include 49-year-old father-of-three Paul, who has worked as a prison governor for eight years, 32-year-old Lithuanian bodybuilder Ugne, London-based firefighter Mat, 37, and 41-year-old Ian, who works as a personal photographer for the Dalai Lama when he visits the UK.
The oldest contestant on this year's series is 66-year-old Marie, who has admitted that she struggled to even boil an egg when she first started baking several years ago.
'The Great British Bake Off' kicks off on August 5 at 8pm on BBC One.

Dennis Waterman has admitted 'New Tricks' "wasn't the same" without Amanda Redman and Alun Armstrong.
The 67-year-old actor has starred in the BBC One comedy-crime-drama since its first episode in 2013 but he's confessed he didn't enjoy it as much after his co-stars quit the show.
He said: "This is no slight on the new cast, but everything did change really dramatically and suddenly when Amanda and Alun left.
"I'd already signed up for the next season. I did ask Amanda if I'd look sad carrying on after everybody else had quit and she said, 'Don't be daft'. And then my wife started buying another bleeding house and I had no option. But it wasn't the same."
Although Amanda and Alun - who were replaced by Nicholas Lyndhurst and Tamzin Outhwaite - weren't the first stars of the show to step down from their roles, Dennis has admitted he didn't take James Bolam's departure as badly.
Speaking about Denis Lawson joining the show in Bolam's place, the 'Sweeney' actor told Radio Times magazine: "When Dennis joined it wasn't too sharp a shock because Amanda and Alan were still in it, and he knew us and it carried on."
Dennis has since quit the show himself ahead of the 12th and final season.

Katie Hopkins is to undergo open-brain surgery later this year.
The controversial star - who suffers from epilepsy - has revealed she is set to go under the knife in a bid to reduce the number of seizures she has.
Asked what her biggest fear is, Katie - who has daughters Poppy and India with ex-husband Damian McKinney and son Maximillian with husband Mark Cross - said: "Later in this year at some point I'll probably have open-brain surgery to help with my epilepsy. It's nocturnal so I only suffer at nights, in case people are wondering why I'm not fitting all over the place. During the surgery I have to talk and move my left hand and left leg while they're operating - because where they go in [to the brain] is near those things. So that's a fear, but it's only a physical fear, so I need to man up a bit."
The former 'Celebrity Big Brother' and 'The Apprentice' contestant is known for her outspoken views on everything from obesity to euthanasia but she insists her life isn't as easy as some people may think.
She told Now magazine: "There are many risks with it [the surgery], so I'll get the show out of the way first. Sometimes people imagine my life is like, 'ta-dah!', but everyone has their things and this is mine. That's OK, though. It'll be OK. Can you hear how many times I keep telling myself it'll be OK? It will be OK. I'm just scared of that moment when I'm talking and I know my brain is exposed. It's like, 'F**k!' "

Stacey Solomon is feeling "really hurt" following her split from Steve-O.
The former 'I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!' winner and 'Jackass' star have called off their romance and it's now been revealed Stacey has been left devastated by the split.
A representative for Stacey told MailOnline: "I can confirm Stacey and Steve-O are no longer together. Stacey is really hurt by the whole situation, and it's not something she feels able to talk about at this moment in time."
Stacey, 25, and Steve-O, 41, reportedly decided to part ways because they were struggling to maintain a long-distance relationship, with Steve-O on tour in his native US while Stacey lives in Essex.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Stacey found it hard being away from Steve-O so they decided to put their relationship on hold.
"He has a huge tour in the States, as that's where his fan-base is. The relationship developed quickly and was a real whirlwind, but for the time being it's not to be."
The couple first fell for one another while competing on the Channel 4 winter sports show 'The Jump' earlier this year.
Stacey even introduced the prankster to her sons Zachary, seven, and two-year-old Leighton and included him in a family holiday to Cornwall.
