The 'Coronation Street' star and the 35-year-old singer were reported to have gone their separate ways last week, and it has now been claimed they "actually split" around four weeks ago.

A source said: "Faye and Gareth actually split a month ago but she hadn't been wearing her ring for some time."

Faye has filmed her final scenes on 'Coronation Street', on which she has played Kate Connor since 2015, and she has been auditioning "a lot" for new roles.

The source added to The Sun Online: "She's auditioning a lot at the moment and it won't be long till she's back on our screens."

The pair had been dating on and off for seven years and got engaged in January this year, but have now gone their separate ways.

A source said last week: "Faye and Gareth are both extremely sad about their relationship ending.

"They still care very much about each other and want to remain friends, but the wedding has been called off. They tried to make it work but sadly it's not meant to be."

The 'Corrie' star recently said the pair wouldn't "take each other for granted again".

Speaking in March this year about their last split - which saw them separate in September 2018 after six years together - she said: "It was for the right reasons for sure. I feel like we'll never take each other for granted ever again.

"Work took over and we ended up missing each other so much that we were missing life together.

"We are enjoying engagement but obviously I've been dreaming of this [wedding] day since I was a little girl."
