The Hollyoaks star told her partner that she was just not ready to settle down. The 26-year-old, who plays Mercedes McQueen on the soap, allegedly said: “I want to spread my wings.”



A source told the Daily Star Sunday: “Jennifer is in the prime of her life and the last thing she wants to do is settle down. Will wanted them to move in together, get married and was even talking about them having kids.

“Jennifer wants that eventually but while her career is going so well it’s a long way off for her. She thinks she’s far too young to be thinking about things like that.”
