Big Brother lovebirds Brian Belo and Amanda Marchant have decided to end their relationship, according to a report in the News of the World today.
Brian and Amanda got together after falling for each other when they shared the house together last summer.
However, their relationship reportedly became increasingly strained after Amanda refused to move in with Brian in Essex.
"They had been suffering strains for a number of weeks because they wanted different things. Brian finally ended it," a friend revealed. "Amanda loved dressing up and going to trendy London clubs but Brian wanted to hang out with his mates in Essex.
"Amanda didn't want to move to Essex and live Brian's life. She wanted them to hang out in central London with other celebrities all the time."
A spokeswoman for show winner Brian confirmed to the newspaper that the couple had split.
