HOLLYOAKS star James Sutton has split up with his girlfriend Tamara Jane.
The former couple went public last February when James shared a photo of them both online along with the caption “Mine”, but a year on they’re no longer an item.
James, who has played John Paul McQueen for nearly two decades, no longer follows Tamara on Instagram and has removed all trace of her from his grid.
The Sun has contacted a representative for the actor for comment.
James, 42, and Tamara’s went Instagram official five months after the end of the actor’s marriage to wife of five years Rachael Collin was made public.
He released a statement in September 2023, which read: “Rachael and I had a wonderful relationship and marriage. It was very sad but amicable, and we remain friends.”
The exes met at Glastonbury when James spotted Rachael struggling with her foot pump. He chivalrously lent her his electric pump and things quickly escalated from there.
However, during the coronavirus pandemic their marriage became strained and never fully recovered.
Last month, James pledged his future to Hollyoaks amid a huge overhaul of stars.
He told The Tom’s Talks podcast: “I’m still on Hollyoaks, which is great. I’ve just signed another year.
“I’m going to be there until January 2026. Yeah. I’m there until January 2026.”
Jean Paul has been at the centre of a string of hard-hitting storylines, including a horrifying rape by student Finn O’Connor.

Many viewers feel that the new plotline has been overdone and is being used as an excuse to axe characters.
The Sun exclusively revealed that Sherrie Hewson is going to make history by playing the oldest serial killer on the soap come September.
A source shared that the star, 73, is delighted to get the chance to be at the center of such a huge story.
They added: “She can’t wait to get her hands dirty with the blood of characters.
“Hollyoaks is at its best when there’s a major villain on the loose and Martha is going to top them all. She’s just as twisted as her murderous great-granddaughter Nico.
“She may be worse. No one’s safe with Martha around.”
