The 24-year-old reality TV star has confirmed she and Kyle Christie, of whom she recently got a tattoo on her neck, have amicably decided to call time on their turbulent three-year relationship after it started to fizzle out.

Taking to her Instagram account, she said: "Before lots of twisted fabricated stories come out in the press I just want to set the record straight.

"Kyle and I split a few weeks ago very amicably. Nobody had done anything wrong and it's certainly not because of the tattoo. We had a crazy 3 years together and it just came to a natural end. We grew so much and learned a lot about ourselves and personally I've came out of it stronger than I ever thought possible. (sic)"

Holly has admitted she'll always have "love" for Kyle and his family but thinks now is the right time for them both to start a "new chapter" in their lives.

She said: "We made a lot of great memories and travelled the world together but it's time for a new chapter for both of us. I'll always love Kyle and his family for the past three years! (sic)"

The blonde beauty - who has always battled with her weight - also joked that her split means she'll be able to beat the bulge now she's not raiding Kyle's sweet drawer.

She explained: "Maybe I'll actually be able to get this weight off now I'm not hunting through his chocolate drawer. But all jokes aside, this was best for both of us and we knew that so there will never be any bad blood. (sic)"
