“It’s a shame as they both liked each other but Katy wants to be able to have a relationship with someone she isn’t constantly having to work out what time zone they’re in.

“Rob was gutted but Katy said she didn’t want to get in too deep and then break his heart so it was best to cut things off before they got serious.

“Rob was the first guy Katy had been with since splitting from Russell.

“She was still extremely fragile but had told pals their two weekends at Coachella together made her feel ‘sexy and alive’ again.

“Even when Rob left to continue touring ­America with Florence they would speak on the phone up to three times a day and she’d be constantly texting him.”
