They added: ‘The atmosphere on set is said to be awkward and tense when they are both around and it was a relief for many when Carlos was off the show weeks ago.
“Carlos is said to be subdued since the break-up and is also struggling to find a celebrity partner. His friends are worried about him as he is so far away from his family.’
Things reportedly got so bad that he digitally erased her from his life.
The source said: “He has deleted all her photos from his profile and unfollowing her on Instagram is the best ending to their friendship. With all the other drama in the Clauditorium, that’s the last thing the bosses need.”
