Mo Gilligan is said to have split from his girlfriend of four years after spending months away from their shared home in Britain trying to crack America.
The Masked Singer judge, 34, reportedly broke up with ex-Hollyoaks actress Sophie Wise, 27, after they moved in together at the start of this year.
The rumours come after Mo was said to be in huge demand by US television executives after he caught their eye while filming the pilot for new gameshow That’s My Jam in Los Angeles.
A source claims that the couple’s split is ‘totally amicable’ with no bad blood between them.
‘They are still friends despite what’s been a difficult time’, the insider told The Sun on Friday.
‘He is such a hot property in the US right now, as well as still being in demand in Britain, and work has been overwhelming,’ they continued.

‘There certainly isn’t any other woman on the scene. They just reached the end of the line.’
Mo and Sophie kept their relationship relatively under the radar, not offering the world a glimpse inside their romance even on social media.
They also have not been pictured in public together despite the presenter and comedian confirming in 2018 they were dating.
