Hannah Waterman leaves Ricky Groves
Tuesday, 5 January 2010
Hannah Waterman has dumped husband Ricky Groves.
The former 'EastEnders' actress - who has shed over 42lbs in recent months - told the 'Strictly Come Dancing' star their three-year marriage was over on New Year's Day (01.01.10), leaving him devastated.
A source said: "She just confessed to him that it was over. It was completely out of the blue for him, he thought they were happy. He said he's going to find it hard to move on. He loved her - no matter what size she was."
Sources claim Hannah - who has gone from a size 16 to a size six - is enjoying the male attention she is now getting and wants to enjoy life as a single woman.
A friend told The Sun newspaper: "Hannah's been treating herself to lots of sexy lingerie and mini-skirts. Ricky was delighted as any red-blooded man would be - but unfortunately Hannah seems to have a new-found confidence with her new figure. She's been turning heads and she knows it.
"It seems Ricky no longer fits into her life. She's enjoying looking sexy and wants to enjoy life as a single woman - poor Ricky's absolutely gutted."
The couple got engaged in 2005 when they were 'EastEnders' co-stars and married a year later.
Their spokesman insists the split was amicable and blamed it on their conflicting work schedules.
Ricky left 'EastEnders' last year to pursue new projects.
