We'd barely gotten used to the idea that they were dating when recent reports claimed Vogue Williams and Laurence Fox were no more, but it looks like Laurence has nothing but good wishes for the Irish star.

Rumours that the pair were an item began swirling in recent months when the Irish TV presenter was spotted holding hands with the British actor, with numerous publications claiming Laurence had 'genuinely fallen for' Vogue.

Commenting on the burgeoning romance at the time, a source close to the pair said: "It’s very early days but both Laurence and Vogue consider themselves an item.They’re enjoying spending time together and have had some great nights out.”

Unfortunately, it looks like the good times recently came to an end for the pair, but Laurence is determined to keep thing amicable and recently referred to Vogue as his 'mate'.

"We're just really great mates. We have always just been good mates before meeting on Bear Grylls: Mission Survive and we continue to be really great mates," he told MailOnline.

38-year-old Laurence, who this year divorced Billie Piper after nine years of marriage, added: "There's nothing else really to say, but we're just great friends."

Turning his attention to the festive period, Laurence revealed that he doesn't have any big plans, saying: "I've got a feeling it might be quite a quiet one for me."

"I've never really been a huge New Year's Eve fan so it isn't going to be the kind of celebration that it's been in the past."
