Friends are said to be shocked at the Celebrity Island couple's split

Things were looking so rosy for former Towie star Lucy Mecklenburgh, 26, and actor Ryan Thomas, 34. Just last week, the pair shared a photo of Ryan's birthday celebrations at Manchester's Parklife festival.

Lucy captioned the gorgeous photo: "Happy birthday my ❤️"

Ryan posted the same photo with a loveheart next to it.

But the couple have now reportedly split up, following a string of arguments and an explosive one which finally put an end to the relationship.

A source told The Sun Online: "It’s a real shock. They had a massive row this week and called it quits on the spot, which will come as a massive surprise to everyone who knows them because they’ve seemed so loved-up."

The source also said there might be chance of a reconciliation but we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Lucy and Ryan met while filming Channel 4 reality show Celebrity Island With Bear Grylls last year.

The pair have looked strong ever since, and they even managed to make it work while Ryan temporary relocated to Australia where he filmed for Neighbours.

Lucy and Ryan aren't the only celebs to split this year...
