'Strictly Come Dancing' winner Louis Smith parts ways with girlfriend Charlie Bruce

Strictly Come Dancing champion Louis Smith has reportedly decided to part ways with his girlfriend, Charlie Bruce, after seven years together.

The Olympic gymnast, 37, shares daughters, Marley, four, and Remi, 21 months, with the jazz dancer, but sources have claimed they've now gone their separate ways.

It is also understood that Charlie has already changed her Facebook status to single, while the pair have reportedly unfollowed each other on social media.

A source said: 'It's really sad as the couple were a dedicated family unit, but now they have decided to go their separate ways.'

'They are focused on co-parenting their young daughters as best they can. Both are keeping busy and keeping their heads down during this difficult time,' they went on to tell The Sun.

The sportsman had scarcely spoken about his relationship, but did refer to Charlie as his 'beautiful partner'.

The pair met while they were working in the West End, and they started dating in November 2017.
