Marvin Humes has confirmed his split from Saturdays star Rochelle Wiseman.

The JLS singer - who had been dating the 'Ego'beauty for eight months - said the news was "sad" and thanked his fans for helping him through.

Writing on the official JLS twitter account, he said: "I'm very sad to say that it is all true. Rochelle & I have split up, thank you for all your kind messages of support. love you guys. Marv x (sic)"

Rochelle also took to the micro-blogging website to share the unhappy news with her fans.

She wrote: "Hey guys thanks for messages! It's all a bit odd to share a break up! We have split but, we are still very much friends! You guys are lovely (sic)"

Although they have split, the pair are still believed to be living together with Rochelle staying in Marvin's west London home.

A source said: "They've both been too busy with their bands to move. But it will happen soon."
