As scheming Janine Butcher she famously disposed of hapless husband Barry by pushing him off a cliff. 

But EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks has parted ways with her current boyfriend on rather more amicable terms, albeit just two months after confirming their romance. 

Charlie, 43 – currently impressing judges as a contestant on the latest series of Dancing On Ice – is understood to be single after ending a short-lived relationship with producer James Fuller. 

But he confirmed they are no longer an item while congratulating Charlie and her ice skating skills in a recent social media post. 

Commenting on her latest performance with professional skate partner Eric Radford, he wrote: ‘Damn you guys are elegant, graceful and gorgeous! It’s a 10 for me! Can’t wait to see you skate again this Sunday!

‘You are easily the coolest, most thoughtful, wonderful, amicable ex girlfriend and current best friend that a boy could wish for.

‘So glad to be on this journey with you. You got this girl! So, so proud of you that words do no justice.’ 

Referring to her forthcoming appearance on stage in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, he added: ‘Looking forward to a game of Rummikub with you after you have won this show and before you start Chitty!’

The former couple only announced their romantic involvement in December, when Charlie went Instagram official with James on New Year’s Eve. 

It was her first public romance following her split from her boyfriend of six years, Ben Hollington, in 2018.

Charlie shares daughter Kiki, 20, with ex Ibiza club owner and still close friend Tony Truman, who she split from in 2007. 

The actress was introduced to her ex-partner when she was just 21 by former co-star Dean Gaffney.

She ended her relationship with Tony in 2006, but the couple continued living under the same roof for more than six months after their separation.

Speaking of the decision to continue living together in 2007, she told Sunday magazine: ‘We knew our friendship would continue because that’s how our relationship started.

‘People ask if it’s weird still living together, but we’re just getting on with it for Kiki’s sake.’

In 2021 Charlie revealed that despite no longer being together, she and Tony remain close with him living in the flat above theirs in London.

Speaking to the Mail Online at the time, she explained: ‘He is absolutely my family and nothing will ever change that, no matter how much we fall out, which we have done, big time.

‘He can be an a***hole sometimes, but nobody’s perfect. I love him to bits. He’s one of my best friends.’

Charlie first joined the BBC soap to play Janine in 1999, which she stayed as until she left the soap in May 2004. 

The actress has since rejoined and left the soap various times, including a long stint from April 2021.
