The former 'Coronation Street' and 'The Only Way is Essex' stars - who were pictured embracing just last weekend at Parklife music festival in Manchester - are said to have called time on their romance, which has come as a "real shock" to insiders.

A source said: "Ryan and Lucy have been a really lovely couple and things had been great between them.

"It's a real shock."

However, the pair's pals are said to still be hopeful that they may reconcile.

The source added to The Sun newspaper: "Their friends hope it might still work out again in the future, but who knows if that will be possible."

What's more, Ryan admitted on social media last night (13.06.18) that he was looking forward to his "next adventure" with Lucy and his former 'Coronation Street' co-star Brooke Vincent.

He shared a picture of the pair sitting on the bonnet of a Jeep on his Instagram Stories, and wrote: "can't wait for the next adventure with these two lunatics (sic)"

Lucy is yet to comment about the speculation, but posted a number of inspiring quotes on Twitter this morning (14.06.18).

She shared a picture of cartoon character Charlie Brown saying the words: "Dear mind, please stop thinking so much at night. I need to sleep."

Lucy also tweeted: "There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." -Nelson Mandela (sic)"

In October 2017, Lucy - who met Ryan while filming reality TV show 'Celebrity Island with Bear Grylls' last year - sparked speculation she and the ex-'Corrie' star had split when she posted a cryptic photograph of a frog, seemingly making a dig at the hunk, on her Instagram account.

Alongside the photo of the amphibian, she wrote: "I seem to attract frogs."

BANG Showbiz have contacted representatives of Ryan and Lucy for comment.
