Are you sitting down? With a tissue in one hand and a stiff drink in the other? Good. We have some terrible news to impart.
Sam Reece has spilt from his latest TV squeeze, Taylor Ward. Noooooooo!
We had literally only just over the shock of seeing Sam appear on our screens in The Real Housewives of Cheshire.
The reasons for the sad break-up are as yet unclear. But Taylor took to Twitter to share the news, saying: "Unfortunately me and @SamReece have called an end to our relationship. However moving forward, we will remain good friends."
Sam followed up five minutes later with an almost identikit message, saying: "Unfortunately me and @taylorward16 have called an end to our relationship.. However moving forward, we will remain good friends."
However, it seems that Sam still wants to stay friends with Taylor's fam, as he tweeted afterwards about Dawn Ward's latest business venture, saying: "Everyone go follow my good friend @dawnward4 new non surgical clinic @weareskulpt I can't wait to visit it's looks unreal!!"
Because staying pals with your ex's mum definitely feels like a good idea. Well, if it works for Debbie Douglas (Lydia Bright's mum) and James 'Arg' Argent. Sort of…
RHOC fans (or anyone who happened to tune in) saw Sam make his show debut in an AWKS AF meet-the-parents scene last week.
Dawn and Ashley Ward were cool but Lauren Simon, our second favourite Cheshire housewife (after Tanya Bardsley – obvs) flirted with Sam, and then the following exchange took place:
"They could do fashion together," suggested Dawn of the couple, what with Sam being a model and Taylor a fashion designer (apparently).
"They're too young for that, they're too busy shagging," said Lauren, demonstrating why she is the queen (well, lady-in-waiting to Tanya) of our hearts.
Sam shot to fame when he appeared on First Dates and refused to pay for his date's meal (which is fair).
He resurfaced in our consciousness as the boyfriend of Stephanie Davis when she entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in January 2016 and promptly did the dirty on him with Jeremy McConnell.
Where will he crop up next? Because we're sure this isn't the last we've seen of him on our telly boxes.
