Zoe Salmon's relationship with Hollyoaks actor Gerard McCarthy is officially over.

Gerard has said that the couple have agreed to part after being together for nearly two years.

He admitted: "I suppose it's just one of those things, but there are plenty more salmon in the sea!"

But it hasn't taken the Belfast man long to get over the split, he was spotted getting close to professional dancer Jeanette Taylor at a star-studded awards ceremony on Friday night, reports the Belfast Telegraph.

He said: "Zoe and I are not together anymore and as I didn't talk about our relationship when we were together, I'm not about to start now.

"Jeanette is a very good friend of mine and she's a very beautiful woman."

The Hollyoaks actor has apparently been friends with Taylor for many years.

A friend said: "Gerard and Janette worked together on Saturday Night Fever with Kym Marsh and have always been very good friends.

"They have a great chemistry together and make a perfect couple."
