Perri and Jessica have been sharing snaps of themselves enjoying their Italian getaway but there are no glimpses of each other on their Instagram pages.

The former couple first met in 2020 when Perri was competing on ITV's Dancing On Ice and Laura was working behind the scenes and instantly hit it off.
In January, Laura took to social media, explaining that she was starting a "new chapter" of her life, weeks after sharing a snap of Perri.

Perri added: "Everything's getting worse, we have one problem then we're fine – well not fine but we're pushing through it – and then another one, and then another and another."
