Meanwhile another source told The Sun: 'Naomi has taken the decision to let things fizzle out. She's just not into Liam any more and has cast him aside. Quite simply she got a bit bored.
'He was always the more keen, slightly needy one and, as far as she was concerned, they were never officially an item anyway. It's always been very casual.'
Speculation of a blossoming romance between the two began when they celebrated the New Year together in Ghana.
