TOWIE turned House of Sims star Frankie Sims is single once again after splitting from her hunky footballer boyfriend Luke Paris.

Although they featured in each other’s social media posts as recently as last month, Frankie revealed she and Luke had gone their separate ways in an interview on former co-star (and love rival) Chloe Brockett’s podcast earlier this week.

Frankie and Luke appeared to be the definition of love’s young dream ever since going public with their romance last summer, but the middle Sims sister admitted to Chloe that their relationship “wasn’t right”.

She explained, “I recently had a really strong relationship, literally everyone thought I was going to settle down and he’s The One. It just didn’t work out.

“I made a few TikToks of us and they went viral. Every single person said to me, ‘I’m so happy for you! He’s The One, he’s amazing’ and he was.

“This boy was every single thing I ever would have wanted in my whole life, everything I’ve prayed for in my whole life, would move heaven and earth for me, but I just didn’t feel right in my heart.”

Frankie’s sister Demi, who was also a guest on the podcast added, “The fire was just not there I think.”

But although she’s newly single, Frankie is very much not ready to mingle. She said, “I literally feel like I just need to leave it and let the universe bring someone to me.

“Everyone I’m picking is just not right.”

Frankie and Luke first went public last year when she shared a super blurry, blink and he's gone video on her Instagram Story where they were dancing together on a night out. She added a huge red heart emoji, which was a not so subtle way of confirming their romance.

A month later, Frankie posted a TikTok that featured a rather romantic scene of a bed with towels shaped like swans - immediate honeymoon vibes - and a huge amount of red balloons.

Luke could be seen in the background while Frankie was on the bed.

Frankie previously opened to Closer about their extravagant first date when she told us, “Basically, I went on a date last week, a first date to Paris.”

Although she was keeping Luke's identity under wraps at the time, she continued, “Demi set us up the night before in a pub and then the next morning we went to Paris on our first date.

“I can’t even remember what I said [in the message]. He just sent me some emojis back. I can’t even remember what I said. I haven’t owned it yet, I’m playing it cool.”
