Jessie Wallace and Tim Arnold have split

When asked how long it had been since they’d been together, he added: “Oh, not for a long time.”

Tim’s sudden dislike of fame comes as a surprise, given that a year ago, he was trying his luck on ‘The Voice’.

After making it through his main audition and impressing coaches Rita Ora, Ricky Wilson, Will.i.am and Tom Jones, he crashed out of the competition during the battle round.

Jessie and Tim began dating after meeting at the British Soap Awards in 2012, where they were introduced by her ‘EastEnders’ co-star June Brown, who is Tim’s godmother.

Jessie has had her fair share of relationship drama over the years, as in 2011, she dramatically called off her wedding to Vince Morse when she discovered he was sending explicit messages to an ex-girlfriend.

She is also mother to seven-year-old daughter, Tallulah, from her previous relationship with policeman Dave Morgan.

After years of bullying Angie, Den Watts finally met his match in Chrissie, who gave as good as she got. Until murdering him, obviously. Sadly, she coudn't plan a good enough getaway, and was stopped by police as she prepared to board a flight. (credit:BBC )

Janine terrorised everyone from Billy Mitchell and Ian Beale, to Alice Branning, during her time in Walford. After inheriting millions, Janine became even more infuriatingly smug, but karma hit back and when she finally fell for Michael Moon, things didn't end well. (credit:BBC )

She may be the newest of the bunch, but Kellie's character hasn't had it easy since moving into The Vic. While Linda has done her best to hold together the Carters, she's had a rough time, suffering a horrific assault at the hands of her brother-in-law, and acting as peacekeeper during the family's many feuds. Can she hold things together? (credit:BBC )
