Tointon, Swash split after endless rows?

Kara Tointon and Joe Swash have apparently ended their two-year relationship after months of arguments.

Cracks in the former EastEnders co-stars' relationship began to show when they appeared together in the pantomime Snow White at the Hippodrome Theatre in Bristol, reports the News Of The World.

Tointon, 26, flew to Spain after the pair decided to go their separate ways last week. A friend said the actress needs time to "get her head together".

"Both she and Joe are really upset about it - but their rows were getting too frequent and they knew they couldn't make it work any more," the insider said.

The pair met when they played brother and sister Mickey Miller and Dawn Swann on the BBC One Soap in 2005. They started dating three years later just before Swash, 28, flew to Australia for his stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!.
