Big Brother 3 winner Kate Lawler has split from footballer lover Johnathan Woodgate according to tabloid reports.

The pair had maintained their relationship despite the former Leeds soccer star joining Spanish club Real Madrid, with Kate prefering to stay in London.

In last week's Heat magazine, Kate described long-distance love as "Horrible. But really nice at the same time, because I get my two little lives. Over here, I live like a singleton - obviously without the naughty bits - and I get to see my friends and family. Then I go over to Madrid and it's lovely and sunny and Jonathan's there."

The pair had been dating since the summer of 2003 and Kate often described Woodgate to the press as her "soulmate".
