Too Hot To Handle star Harry Jowsey (above) has admitted fault in his split from Francesca Farago, saying he ‘fell out of love’ with the Canadian model as they tried to keep the spark alive during a long-distance relationship
‘I’m here to accept my wrongdoings, be responsible, be a man, own up, and confess,’ he said in an Instagram Live video on Wednesday.
Harry, who hails from Australia but lives in Los Angeles, first announced the split with Francesca on Instagram on Tuesday.
The pair had been living apart for months due to COVID-19 border closures, and had both cited long-distance as a factor in their decision to separate.
Harry said that the couple simply grew apart.
‘Nothing bad happened. I simply fell out of love, I lost that massive spark that I had at the start of the show,’ he explained.
‘Feelings change, not all relationships work out. If you cant give someone 110 per cent, then there’s no point.’
He then insisted on ‘taking responsibility’ for leaving Francesca ‘heartbroken’.
He addressed Francesca directly and said: ‘If you’re watching, I hope you’re okay. I’m only a phone call away. I’ll always be here for you.’

In Francesca’s YouTube tell-all, titled ‘Our Breakup’, the brunette tearfully questioned: ‘How could you have a wedding ring folder with someone and how could you propose to someone, but you’re also saying I can’t be with you because of the distance?’
She seemed to agree with Harry that the long distance was partly to blame for their split, but said he was the one wanted to break-up.
‘He decided to break up with me because he couldn’t do long-distance anymore. I obviously was heartbroken. I did everything I could,’ she shared with fans.
‘I cannot fake a relationship. I cannot pretend like everything is going to be okay,’ the reality TV star added, as she dabbed her eyes with a tissue.

Harry announced the couple’s breakup earlier in the week, again on his Instagram stories.
‘This is a s**t situation and only Francesca and myself know the full extent of what’s happened,’ he said.
‘Francesca knows I’m always going to love her and she’s always in my heart, in a special place with me.’
Later in the day, he also told fans: ‘People seem to think they know exactly why I ended things with Francesca… You don’t break up with someone for no reason… Nothing bad has happened… It’s harmless.’
