Why did Lucy Fallon break-up with her ex?

Lucy and ex-boyfriend Tom apparently called it quits after struggling during lockdown.

A source told The Sun: “She and Tom have called it quits and are no longer together. They spent lockdown together but it gave them time to evaluate what they want.

“They decided taking time apart was the best idea and they have gone their separate ways.”
