There I was having a wonderful weekend trawling the sales, blissfully snapping up those final bargains when the bad news arrived. A pal texted me to say it was all over between Harry and Chelsy.

I can't believe it. I mean, I know that they had their odd spat, and that it can't have been easy with him trotting around the UK on army training assignments while she was left to her books in Leeds, but even so...

Somehow I just never saw it coming. They always seemed like such a good match, adventurous, good fun, and with a real zest for life. And they looked so happy, whether they were at a formal do or just hanging out together.

I was - and still am! - convinced they are meant for each other. One of the things I like most about Harry is his cheeky, fun-loving side and his bubbly girlfriend perfectly complemented that.

Hopefully time apart will make them realise how much they miss each other and before we know it they will be happily ensconced in the VIP section together at Mahiki.
