Too Hot to Handle couple Harry Jowsey and Francesca Farago have split.
Harry, 22, who hails from Australia but lives in Los Angeles, announced his break-up with the Canadian model, 26, on Instagram on Tuesday.
The pair had been living apart for months due to COVID-19 border closures, but were scheduled to reunite in LA in a few days’ time.

‘This is a s**t situation and only Francesca and myself know the full extent of what’s happened,’ he added.
The reality star then promised to share all the details of what happened between the newly-engaged couple on Wednesday night.

He said they had spent ‘a couple of days’ together last month when Francesca was in LA for work related to her bikini brand.
‘Apart from that, we haven’t really been able to see each other at all,’ he added. ‘It’s been really difficult.’
The couple, who were known for their frisky antics on Too Hot to Handle, became engaged via Zoom during the reunion episode, which was released on Netflix last month.
