It was today confirmed that Home and Away star Kate Ritchie (Sally) has ended her five year relationship with Rugby League player Chris Walker. A source close to the couple revealed that the relationship had been on the rocks since Walker was escorted by police from a Melbourne hotel, that Ritchie was staying in, two weeks ago.

Ritchie is believed to have been fed up of Walker's various altercations with the police, and living up to his reputation as 'the bad boy of league'.

Ritchie has yet to comment on her breakup, however a source at Seven commented on the split:

"I knew things were very rocky, so I was surprised to hear Chris saying this week that he and Kate were still in love and very much together, It's no surprise that they've broken up."
