After the show, Jordan and Jon embarked on a long-distance relationship as they travelled between Jon’s Cornwall home and Jordan’s Merseyside residence.
However, the five-hour distance became too much for the couple, a source has revealed.
They told The Sun: “The distance became too much for Jon and Jordan, they are both so busy and the travelling became too difficult.”
Adding that the split was civil, they said: “There’s no bad blood at all between them, it was a joint decision.”
The couple have since unfollowed one another on social media, with Jordan wiping pictures of Jon from his Instagram account.
Jon has kept posts with Jordan up on his page.
The break-up heartbreakingly comes just months after the couple shared their excitement to spend Christmas together.
Jon told OK! Magazine in September: “Jordan’s coming to mine in Cornwall, and it’s going to be a proper family Christmas. It’ll be the first time I’ve had a boyfriend at home for Christmas, actually.”
Jordan added: “I’ve never had that chance to spend Christmas with my partner so this is shaping up to be the best Christmas ever!”
Jordan was singer Jon’s first relationship in six years,
Opening up on Celebs Go Dating,, Jon said: “I’ve been single for six years and in that times I’ve been celibate as well.”
Jon, who rose to fame in the late nineties and early noughties with band S Club 7, hasn’t had an easy time over recent years.
Before his TV appearance, he after battling a secret drug addiction.
Speaking to the Daily Mail , Jon revealed that he got into crystal meth – a highly addictive ‘party’ drug that can cause psychosis, hallucination, paranoia and mania.
This was when he was in his thirties – long after had gone their separate ways.
He explained: “I didn’t even recognise myself at that time.
“Sometimes, in the midst of one of the psychotic episodes where I’d be smashing my flat up with a hammer, I’d catch sight of myself in the mirror and say: “What the f***?”.
However, Jon managed to pull himself back into a happy and healthy position and used Celebs Go Dating as an opportunity to see how far he had come.
