Taylor is no stranger to the acting world, having landed a role in the star-studded 2010 hit Valentine's Day, and bagging a part in sci-fi flick, The Giver. 

It was previously reported that the blonde beauty wanted to make more of a name for herself in the world of acting, with rumours swirling that she would be taking a break from her music career to pursue work on-camera. 

An insider told Sugarscape: 'She wants to move into acting while writing songs that aren’t about her latest breakup. 

'She wants to really make a different and leave an impact on the world that will be remembered.' 

Girls on film: Taylor is also no stranger to the acting world, having landed a role in the star-studded 2010 hit Valentine's Day, and was said to have been pursuing more roles 

Meanwhile, Eddie has no plans to slow down his career, and can thank his role in Les Miserables for helping him find his wife, Hannah Bagshawe. 

Whilst the pair had been friends for years, it wasn't until the PR executive jetted to Italy to visit him as he filmed the flick, that romance blossomed.

Two years later, the pair were married at Babington House in Somerset, and they welcomed a daughter, Iris Mary, in June.
