Estranged couple Heidi Range and Dave Berry were overheard having a bitter spat at the National Television Awards, it has emerged.

Dancing On Ice star Heidi, 28, split from her Capital FM DJ fiance Dave Berry, 33, late last year and it seems there is still unfinished business between them after they battled over who pays the Sky bill.

The couple tried to remain dignified and engaged in some small talk when they bumped into each other at the after party of the awards - but it didn't take long for the mood to turn sour.

Sugababe Heidi managed to rattle her ex's cage after mentioning an expensive gift she previously bought for him and Dave reportedly spat back: "Well I still pay for your Sky!"

Despite the bitter comment, Dave said it was him that called time on the couple's romance and revealed that the pair actually get along fine.

According to the Daily Mirror, he said: "One of us had to be a c**t now so we could be friends in the future, and that had to be me. It was for the best. But I'm fine - really I am. We both are. We're still friends and I'm actually about to meet her for a drink."

Singer Heidi announced that she had split from boyfriend Dave in December and took to Twitter to break the news.

At the time, she said: "Very sadly, after eight years together, myself and Dave decided to separate a few months ago. I wish him nothing but the best in life."
