Coronation Street star Olivia Frances Brown has reportedly split from her fiancé, actor James Nelson-Joyce.
The 27-year-old actress, who plays Jodie Ramsay, and the 37-year-old 007 hopeful have unfollowed each other on social media and deleted all photos they took together from their profiles, including their dating engagement photos.
Rumors are rife that the couple, who got engaged last August, will be England’s next golden couple.
A source told Sun: ‘Finished. They were such a solid showbiz couple and their fans will be absolutely shocked and devastated.’
According to insiders, the sudden split is due to Olivia and James’ busy schedules and the hard-working duo ‘trying to make time for each other in their diaries’.
Following the split, Olivia showed off her new hair transformation by rocking a new block fringe.
Coronation Street star Olivia Frances Brown has reportedly split from fiancé and fellow actor James Nelson-Joyce
The 27-year-old actress and the 37-year-old 007 hopeful unfollowed each other on social media and deleted all photos they took together, including their dating engagement photos.
The stunner turned heads in her low-cut black and white polka dot dress while taking photos outside for dinner.
He wrote: ‘Nice weather after the rain’.
The Daily Mail has contacted representatives for both Olivia and James for comment.
Last year, James’ name was also included in the list as the next James Bond, and James revealed whether he would take on the iconic spy role.
The Liverpudlian actor caught fans’ attention with his role as crime boss Michael Kavanagh in the BBC’s gritty new drama This City Is Ours.
Having previously worked with Adolescent star Stephen Graham, James wowed audiences with her performance alongside Sean Bean, which catapulted her to mainstream fame.
There are already rumors that he could take on a major film role, now that he’s less likely to replace Daniel Craig in the next James Bond role.
Breaking his silence, James said he would be very interested in playing the 007 spy and that it would be a ‘privilege’ to be the first Scouse Bond.
Following the split, Olivia showed off her new hair transformation as she rocked a new haircut and wrote: ‘After the rain, beautiful weather.’
Olivia plays Jodie Ramsay in Corrie and is at the center of the show’s biggest storylines of the year as her sultry character tries to seduce her own sister’s husband.
“So…double oh Scouse, that’s what I’m here for,” he said during an interview with the BBC.
Meanwhile, Olivia starred in Channel 4 series The Gathering, as well as Archie and The Boiling Point, before landing her breakout role in Corrie.
Olivia has recently been at the center of one of Corrie’s biggest storylines of the year, with her single hot character trying to seduce her own sister’s husband.
Jodie has also been named as one of five key suspects in the soap’s recent high-stakes ‘nobody’ murder mystery.
