'They remain good friends.'
Bill and Emma started dating in summer 2010 - over a year after his wife Sara's sudden death from a heart condition.

Last year, Bill hit the headlines for claiming he had slept with over 1,000 women during his youth.
His taste for the opposite sex led his Corrie co-stars to nickname him 'cock Roache'.

In an interview with Piers Morgan, he said: 'Looking back, I didn’t know any better.
'But what I did find out is, it does not bring you happiness and it is not the way to be.'
His first marriage to Anna Cropper broke down because of his infidelity.
The couple, who had been married for 13 years, had two children together, including the actor Linus Roache.
He went to marry second wife Sara in 1978, and he tamed his womanising ways.
They were happily wed for 31 years and had two children, before she collapsed and died at their Cheshire home in February 2000.
