UNLUCKY-in-love Jessie Wallace has given her toyboy fiancé the push, the News of the World can reveal.
Former EastEnder Jessie, 37, dated Cockney boxer Tommy O’Neill, 25, for two years and they planned to marry later this year. But now he has moved out of her Essex home.
Strictly Come Dancing star Jessie yearned for the quiet life with three-year-old daughter Tallulah — while aspiring actor Tommy wanted to pursue his career.
Last night he told the News of the World: “We’re not together no more. That’s all I can say.”
Feisty Jessie — mouthy Kat Slater in EastEnders — has been cursed by a string of failed relationships.
Concerned about the 12-year age gap between her and Tommy, Jessie admitted to having had Botox. But she’s finally conceded their love won’t last.
A pal said: “She’s ready to settle down and get married and have more kids. Tommy’s a lovely boy, but he’s still very much a boy.
“He’s at a different stage of life, his career is only just beginning. He needs to be able to focus on that. She’s still very physically attracted to him and thinks he’s a lovely person but it doesn’t look like they’ve got a future together.”
Jessie — who left EastEnders in 2005 and was voted off Strictly Come Dancing last October — is about to star in new BBC drama Hope Springs about four ex-cons hiding out in a village.
Her former lovers include Dave Morgan, who was a cop when they met in 2003 when she appeared in court on a drink-driving charge.
They were together for two turbulent years and had Tallulah in 2004. Dave then switched careers — he became a fireman and sold stories about Jessie’s wild nights of booze and sex.

She briefly dated her former co-star Joel Beckett, who took the role of Jake Moon, cousin of her screen husband Alfie, played by Shane Ritchie.
Jess also had a fling with divorcee Mark Stannett, who was accused of breaking a former lover’s nose. She dumped him for pot-bellied builder Chris Osborn.
The pal added last night: “What Jessie needs now is someone who can take care of her and Tallulah.”
