The pair were seen arguing in the doorway of London’s O2 as they decided whether to head into the event’s afterparty or not, then Lorenzo stormed ahead.
They left as a group for steak restaurant Gaucho, across the concourse, but the cross words continued inside.
Now sources close to the couple have told how they’ve called it a day.

“Guys, this is not funny. He’s already embarrassed me online. He had no time to arrange a date in five days, but was sat in bed liking other girls’ Instagram pictures,” she fumed, before pulling out her phone live on air to check whether Lorenzo had liked any of her own photos.
