Despite living together, Rose and Sam were recently reported to have called time on their relationship after growing apart in recent months, and it appears Sam has moved out of the property they once shared.

The TV star has shared small glimpses inside their property, which features a white back door flanked by large plants in green pots, while a window on one side allowed plenty of light into her house.
