Meanwhile, Bella is currently single after recently splitting up from Gregg Sulkin, 24, her boyfriend of over a year.

They said in a joint statement: "After much thought and soul-searching, we have made the difficult decision to end our relationship.

"We will always love each other and have a deep respect for one another, as we have each grown to be better people because of our time together. Our schedules made seeing each other difficult, and we decided that for now this would be best."
