Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe reveals she secretly SPLIT from Greg Lake months ago following an eight year romance 

Hollyoaks actress Jennifer Metcalfe took to Instagram on Friday to reveal that she and ex Geordie Shore star Greg Lake have split.

She wrote: ‘Greg and I decided to part ways amicably a couple months ago.

‘We remain friends and we both will continue to happily co parent Daye and would appreciate privacy during these times.

‘Thank you to everyone who has supported us before, during and after this.’ 

Her post came a month after Jennifer Metcalfe was shared a picture of herself in a bikini on a post-split holiday at an unknown location. 

She oozed confidence as she posed in front of the sea for the Instagram snap.

Jennifer flashed a broad smile as she struck a pose on the shore, showcasing her toned midriff and slender pins in the process. 

The star shielded her eyes with dark sunglasses while she allowed her raven tresses to cascade over her shoulders.

The soap siren also took to her stories to share other snaps from her getaway as she happily basked in the sun. 

While another photo saw her change into a cropped white vest while she lay on a sun lounger.

Jennifer appears to be on a girly getaway with former Hollyoaks co-star Nadine Mulkerrin, with the beauty sharing a snap of her swimsuit clad pal enjoying a spot of sunbathing.  

Her stunning snaps comes after she and co-star Sarah Jayne Dunn have reportedly  been eyed-up by Strictly Come Dancing bosses for this year’s series. 

Bosses are said to be hoping to continue the soap’s streak of success on the show by signing one of the stunning stars to take to the ballroom this autumn.

A source told The Sunday Mirror that bosses wanted to sign Jennifer, 36, after years of her being branded one of soap’s sexiest stars. 

The actress has played feisty Mercedes McQueen since 2006, and previously took part in ITV’s Dancing On Ice in 2011.

A source said: ‘Soap stars always do well on Strictly and Jen is one of the most loved and sexiest out there right now. 

‘She’s been at the centre of some of Hollyoaks’ biggest ever story lines over the years. Only last year, her character was shot as she spun around a dance floor.’

Hollyoaks stars have long boasted a successful track record on Strictly with fellow cast members Ricky Whittle, Danny Mac, and Chelsee Healey all reaching the final.
