Former Made in Chelsea star Issy Francis-Baum went public with her boyfriend Tom Dolemore, who also previously appeared on the show, on Valentine’s Day earlier this year when she shared a HUGE bouquet of roses he’d bought her.
However, fast forward nine months and Issy has confirmed they’re no longer an item. Not only that, but the reality star has also opted for a change of scenery amid the breakup as she’s moved out of London and into her own flat in Manchester.
Issy opened up the split and her big move during an Instagram Q&A with fans when one asked, “How are you girlie?”
Hinting that she was going through a tough time, Issy replied, “I’m up and down at the moment! I woke up feeling sooo happy this morning and now not so much. I’m just trying to let emotions pass and not control me.”
She went on to say that moving to Manchester had been “amazing for [her] mental health” and that living alone was “the best thing [she’s] ever done”.
“Making this flat my home has honestly helped so much with healing my heart,” she added.
Issy then confirmed she had split from Tom when another of her followers asked, “Are you going through a breakup? Sending so much love.”
She replied, “Yes I am. I’m hurting. We both are, but so much has been learnt from this chapter of my life.
“On to better things and taking care of myself now. Thanks for all the love and messages. I read everything and appreciate it all.”
If you’re a long-time Made in Chelsea viewer then you might recognise Tom as he appeared on the show back in 2018 when he was introduced in series 16 as a friend of Emily Blackwell.
During his brief stint on the show, Tom dated Sophie Habboo and accompanied her to a party thrown by Olivia Bentley. It turns out Habbs isn’t Tom’s only famous ex either as he reportedly dated Love Island 2022 winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu shortly before she entered the villa last summer.
“Tom and Ekin dated for a few months late last year, they are both fun-loving, up for a laugh and enjoy a night out,” a source told The Sun.
“It fizzled out before she applied for the Love Island, but they had a great time together.”
Tom has plenty of celeb links as he’s close pals with Piers Morgan’s son Spencer, Gary Lineker’s son George and singer Conor Maynard.
