CORONATION Street star Katie McGlynn has split from her Towie boyfriend Ricky Rayment.
Katie, who started dating former reality star Ricky after meeting on a cruise ship in 2023, have decided to call time on their romance, despite sparking engagement rumours last February.
But in recent months, the pair have deleted all trace of each other from their social media.
"Katie and Ricky have ended their romance, they're still friends and want to remain civil but in terms of a romantic relationship, it's definitely over," a source told the MailOnline.
They added that they found it "difficult" to maintain a long distance relationship, with Katie in Manchester and Ricky in Essex.
The Sun has reached out to Katie and Ricky's reps for comment.
Last February, speculation started to mount that the former soap star and reality star were about to head down the aisle, after she was pictured with a sparkler on her ring finger.
It came after The Sun exclusively revealed Katie and TOWIE alum Ricky had been dating for four months, following a video emerging of them kissing in the street.
Speaking at the time, an onlooker suggested they very much seemed to be an item.
They said: "They very much looked like girlfriend and boyfriend. They were holding hands, having a laugh and even had a little kiss as they walked amongst other Saturday afternoon shoppers."
The pair are thought to have first met on holiday in October 2023 and have seemingly grown inseparable since then.
It was on another holiday, in July of this year, that the pair once again showed they're more than happy to put their love on display for all the world to see.

On a cruise to the Greek islands Katie, whose birthday is on July 16, suggested Ricky had taken her away for a birthday treat.
Katie, who played Sinead Tinker in Corrie, captioned another picture of them kissing with: "Making memories with you is the best birthday present a gal could ask for."
Last year, her spokesperson denied that she and Ricky had got engaged, and said any confusion stemmed from Katie's penchant for wearing jewellery on different fingers.
They said: "Katie and Ricky are very happy together, but they are not engaged.
"Katie likes to wear various rings and jewellery and just happened to wear one on her ring finger."
