They told The Sun: "Freddie quietly split from Nisha earlier this year, shortly after a loved-up trip to Budapest.
"She'd been by his side throughout his Traitors fame but Freddie soon found himself living a showbiz lifestyle that he'd always dreamed of.
"They were also both incredibly aware that after university it would be more difficult than ever to keep the romance going strong.
"The split was very amicable and there was no drama on either side.

"They have the same close circle of friends from university which has proved challenging to navigate over the last few weeks but all Freddie's mates think he's handled it really maturely."

Nisha even met all of his co-stars at a black-tie bash held for Freddie's 21st birthday in Nottingham but found it challenging to cope with his increasing stardom.
Another insider added to The Sun: "Freddie's always dreamt of being a star and he has the backing of all his friends but it seemed to come at the cost of his relationship."
It is understood Freddie is now firmly focused on growing his TV career after completing his

Pals added that the newly single star has certainly not been short of capturing the attention of a bevy of beauties and could even sign up to a dating show to find his next partner.

A representative for Freddie declined to comment.
Freddie was the youngest contestant on this year's series of the show which became the highest-rated to date.
He started his time in the Scottish castle as a Faithful but was recruited as a Traitor in the final week.
However, after an epic slip-up involving co-star Minah Shannon, he seemingly gave his Traitor status away and was banished from the castle after just 24 hours in his position.
Since the show, he has carved out a career as an influencer on social media.

Fears for 100 jobs at Galway-based Romero Games

There are fears for the future of around 100 jobs at Galway-based video game company Romero Games. The firm has issued a statement outlining that its publisher has cancelled funding for a game that was currently in development. The publisher is reported to be Microsoft which this week announced plans to cut around 9,000 jobs globally. "We're currently evaluating next steps and working quickly to support our team," Romero Games said. "It's an extremely difficult day, and we're heartbroken that it's come to this. If you know of any opportunities or ways you can help our incredible team, please reach out," the company said. "This absolutely isn't a reflection of our team's work, performance, or the quality of the project itself," it added. Romero Games describes itself as an independent game studio of over 100 developers founded in 2014 by award-winning game developers Brenda and John Romero. John Romero is credited with helping to popularise the first-person shooter (FPS) genre and co-created hit games including Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. Game Workers Unite Ireland (GWUI), which is a branch of the Financial Services Union (FSU), represents workers in the gaming sector. The union has described the announcement by Romero Games as a devastating blow to staff.

Over 100 staff laid off as Galway-based Romero Games shuts down after funding cut

GALWAY-BASED GAME studio Romero Games has shut its doors after funding was pulled by its publisher, leaving more than 100 staff without jobs. The studio, founded in 2015 by industry veterans Brenda and John Romero, had been working on a new first-person shooter with what it described as 'a major publisher'. Multiple sources, including staff, have said the publisher in question is Microsoft, which announced 9,000 layoffs earlier this week . Brenda Romero confirmed the sudden closure in a statement today, saying the decision was 'made at a high level within the publisher well above our visibility and control.' 'This absolutely isn't a reflection of our team's work, performance or the quality of the project itself. We hit every milestone on time, every time,' she said. 'We're heartbroken that it's come to this.' The abrupt end to the project has left the studio's global workforce unemployed, including staff in Galway, Dublin, Sweden, the United States, Australia, and South Africa. Romero Games studio in Galway city. Google Maps Google Maps While company accounts for last year show Romero Games employed around 42 people directly, it is understood the broader network of developers working on the project numbered more than 100. Speaking to The Journal , one anonymous Romero Games staff member described the situation as 'a big shock'. 'Everyone is out of a job,' they said. 'We had meetings with the publisher the day before this happened, there was no mention of it. We were being told we were making great progress. So this came completely out of the blue. The employee said the team had suspected something might be coming given recent layoffs at Microsoft, but felt their project was far enough along to be safe. 'It seemed so far away for us. The title was pretty well developed at the time.' Romero Games was working under contract with the publisher, and now has no remaining funds to continue operations. Advertisement 'We're trying to find other ways of funding the project,' the employee added. 'But for now, it's completely closed, and the studio is closed.' The sudden announcement has left an 'emotional toll' on the staff, the worker said. 'It's not just about losing the job. In this kind of work, you leave a little part of your soul in what you're doing,' the staff member said. 'For people not to be able to share what they did – it's frustrating. It was work we were very proud of. For some people, it was years of their lives.' Romero Games was known for Empire of Sin, a 1920s strategy title published by Paradox Interactive in 2020. In July 2022, the studio announced that it had begun work on a new original project – a AAA (major-budget) first-person shooter built in Unreal Engine 5, a cutting-edge game development platform used for creating high-end visuals and immersive gameplay. The unnamed title was being developed in collaboration with a major publisher, now widely believed to be Microsoft, and was said to be progressing well before the abrupt cancellation. John Romero, co-founder of the company, is a celebrated figure in the industry, having helped create genre-defining titles like Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. The latest accounts for Romero Games Ltd show strong financial performance, with profits of €1.5 million in 2024 and €1.2 million in 2023, according to Business Plus . However, those earnings were tied to project-based contracts, and with no ongoing publishing support, the company was unable to continue. The Financial Services Union, through its Game Workers Unite Ireland branch, described the closure as a 'devastating blow' and said it was reaching out to affected staff. If you have been affected by the layoffs at Romero Games and need support, please reach out to us at GWUI.

Brenda Romero said the company is now focusing on helping affected employees find new opportunities. 'Many of us have worked together for more than a decade, some for over 20 years,' she said. 'We are incredibly proud of the work being done and of the talented team behind it. The best we've worked with.' Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...
