News of the reunion comes as 2023 UK couple Peggy Lawrence and Georges Berthonnea announced their split. The pair, who appeared to be going from strength to strength, confirmed their break up with separate statements on Valentine's Day.

Peggy told her 206,000 Instagram followers she was heartbroken in a statement that read: "I'm so sorry I've been quiet on socials everybody but there's a reason for my silence. Me and Georges are no longer together and I'm absolutely heartbroken.

"It's affected my mental health and it's taken me weeks to come to terms with it but with it being Valentine's Day, I can't pretend to be OK. Thank you to everyone who has supported us and our journey... Nobody is more upset about it than me x."

Not long after Peggy shared her statement, Georges took to his Instagram Story to confirm the split and to admit he was shocked Peggy had shared the news. His statement read: "Wasn't expecting a statement from Peggy regarding this situation.

"I'm heartbroken by our breakup and also trying to come to terms with life without Peggy. I appreciate a lot of you have questions but I won't be talking about this situation as of yet. Also thank you for the messages of support." You can read more on this here.
