The gymnast said: 'I wanted to make the decision to end it sooner rather than later.

'I could have stayed with Lucy but the longer I left it, the more attached she would feel and the more damage it would have done in the future.

‘It was hard, but if it’s not right, it’s not right and I wanted to make the decision to end it sooner rather than later.'

Lucy and Louis are said to have called time on their long-distance romance just weeks after a romantic break in Thailand over the athlete's reluctance to get married and start a family.

While the couple spoke openly about their future plans, Lucy reportedly felt as though the sportsman had 'really led her on' in leading her to believe he was ready to settle down.
