Karen, 38, and David, 35, an opera singer, had talked about marriage just weeks before they called it quits.

He has now moved out of her house in London, where he has lived during their romance.

A source said: “Karen and David have quietly ended their relationship.

“It finished on good terms, they have a mutual respect for one another and there were no other parties involved – the relationship simply ran its course.

“Karen has been able to throw herself back into preparing for the next series of Strictly and has told her friends she’s in a really good place.

“Being a part of the show is helping to take her mind off everything and she’s being supported by her co-stars, many of whom she counts as close mates.

“Karen feels at the top of her game and this is driving her on to pull out all the stops on this series. She can’t wait to get properly started.”

Karen and David met in late 2017 after her split from fellow pro Kevin – who’s now dating his 2019 dance partner Stacey Dooley, 33.

Karen and Kevin, 37, confirmed their three-year marriage had ended in March 2018 and speaking on behalf of them both, Kevin said at the time: “We’re still the best of friends – we’ve got a lot of love and respect for each other.”
