With a shared love of sports- and both rather diminutive – it seemed that TV star Dec Donnelly and presenter Georgie Thompson were a great match.
But after two years of romance, the high-profile couple have split, the Daily Mail has learned.
Donnelly, 35, who as one of half of ITV’s biggest stars Ant and Dec, is on an exclusive contract said to be worth £15 million, started dating Miss Thompson, 33, in January 2009.
Romance over: After two years of romance, the high-profile couple Dec Donnelly and Georgie Thompson have split
The couple were set up by their mutual friend, TV host Kirsty Gallacher, and were smitten after their first few dates.
It was unsurprising, then, that rumours of an impending engagement continued to swirl around the couple.
But last night, a spokesman for Donnelly, who is currently co-hosting Britain’s Got Talent with his best friend and co-star Ant McPartlin, told the Mail: ‘Dec and Georgie’s relationship has sadly come to an end. Nobody else was involved and they remain good friends.’
