‘ALONE AGAIN’ EastEnders’ Samantha Womack drops huge hint she’s split from soap killer boyfriend in cryptic post
EASTENDERS icon Samantha Womack has dropped a major hint she’s split from her Emmerdale star boyfriend Oliver Farnworth.
The actress, who played Ronnie Mitchell in the BBC soap, shared a smiling selfie in what appeared to be a hot tub while on holiday in Valencia.
Over the top of the image, she wrote: “Alone again… naturally [shush emoji].”
Her close friend and EastEnders co-star Rita Simons posted: “Obv Love u [heart emoji].”
Sam replied: “I’ve got you though……. [kiss emojis].”
To which Rita, who played her on-screen sister Roxy, said: “always [heart emoji].”
Other famous friends sent supportive messages to, with Ricky Norwood writing: “Sending you big [heart] x.”
Steps‘ Faye Tozer said: “Love you x.”
The Sun has contacted a rep for Samantha for comment.
Sam and Oliver, who played Dales killer John Sugden and previously starred as Andy Carver in Coronation Street began dating in 2021 following the end of her marriage to actor Mark Womack.
Samantha first met Mark, 65, on the set of Liverpool 1 in 1998. They got married 2009 and share children Benjamin and Lili-Rose.
They separated in 2020 but remain friends, and Mark was happy when Sam found love with Oliver, 43.
The actress grew close to the former Corrie hunk while starring opposite him in the 2019 stage adaptation of thriller The Girl On The Train.
A source said in 2021: “Samantha’s chemistry with Oliver was clear to see on stage and they remained close after the production.
“They couldn’t be happier and have loved dating away from the public eye.
“They’ve met each other’s families and it all feels very natural. They’re totally smitten with each other.
“Plus her ex Mark is happy for her too. It’s all very grown-up and modern.”
Oliver was killed off on the cobbles in 2017 in a very dark exit storyline.
Villain Pat Phelan shot his character dead and dumped his body in a lake after Andy, who Phelan had held hostage in an abandoned house, refused to kill the murderer’s former business partner Vinny Ashford.
Oliver then became the killer when he joined Emmerdale in 2024 as Jack Sugden’s long lost son.
His disturbed character had a hero complex and killed Nate Robinson with medication in a failed bid to save him from its effects.
He got his comeuppance this year when half-sister Victoria stabbed him in the neck with a syringe after a fight in the woods and made it look like a suicide.
Since leaving Enders in 2017, Sam has predominantly been working in the theatre world, starring on a UK tour of The Lion, The Witch and
