Harry Potter star Emma Watson is said to be “distraught” after splitting from boyfriend Tom Ducker.

The couple, both 17, started dating late last year and enjoyed a luxury holiday in the French Riveria together over the summer but split up earlier in the month.

A spokesperson for the actress explained: “They just drifted apart as teenagers do. Emma is now just concentrating on her A-levels and the new film.”

But a friend told the Sun that Emma dumped the upcoming rugby player after seeing photos of him with other girls posted on a website: “Emma was furious. [But] he is very upset. He was her first love.”
