We are not together," Kara, 31, told the
Telegraph. "
We're fine, but we aren't a couple any more. "The reason I haven't spoken about it is because I hate reading about myself in that way." It was first rumoured that the couple had gone their separate ways earlier this year after Kara was seen out and about without the Russian dancer – who is now starring on
Dancing with the Starsin the US. The pair had found it
increasingly difficult to spend time together, with Kara adding that 32-year-old Artem's visa meant he was
unable to stay in the UK permanently.

upcoming rolein the new series of
Mr Selfridge. "I finished filming for the show last week," she said. "It comes out in January next year. "
I play the eldest daughter of Harry Selfridge, her name is Rosalie. We're playing from 1919, so it’s all period, which is absolutely fascinating."
