James Haskell has reportedly split from Big Brother star Sara McLean, just days after they went public with their romance at Cheltenham Festival on Wednesday.
The rugby player, 39, was seen holding hands with the glamorous reality starlet, who boasts a string of famous exes, as they attended the sports event just 48 hours ago.
But now, according to The Sun, the new couple have already parted ways after the loved-up pictures caused a rift.
A friend reportedly told the publication: ‘James isn’t really in the settling-down stage just yet. He wasn’t really ready to go public with Sara, to be honest.
‘They’d had a couple of drinks, got touchy-feely, and then got photographed holding hands, which James wasn’t thrilled about.
The source hinted that James is getting to know multiple women so the cosy snaps caused some backlash.

Adding: ‘There have been a couple of other girls on the scene, so I don’t think they were best pleased.’
The publication also reported that following their day out at the races, Sara shared a cryptic Instagram post reading: ‘The energy of the year is: Love me well or leave me alone.’
MailOnline has contacted representatives for James and Sara for comment.
Sara, a beauty queen and reality star has previously dated US World Cup goalie hero Tim Howard, rugby star Ben Cohen , cricket legend Shane Warne and TOWIE’s Mario Falcone.
Meanwhile, James’ most high-profile relationship was with fitness influencer Chloe Madeley, 37, whom he split from in October 2023. The pair share two-year-old daughter Bodhi.
In January he was linked to newly single mother-of-two Helen Barclay, who bore a striking resemblance to Chloe.
Yet the relationship appears to have fizzled out, with James pictured parading his new romance with Sara at the horse racing-based meeting.
His ex-wife Chloe previously revealed she knows the former Wasps flanker has been ‘having fun’ seeing other people, but maintained the pair still have a healthy relationship as they continue to co-parent.
Sara is a former Miss Edinburgh and Big Brother contestant who shocked Housemates when she gave a tearful rendition of God Save The Queen, before going on a rant about people who hate the royal family.
