Jude Law & Sienna Miller

In classic movie star tradition, Sienna and Jude met on the set of the Alfie remake back in 2003 and the sizzling chemistry led to the beginning of a very publicly-played out love affair. A year later  in 2004 Law was so bowled over by the actress he popped the question at her Notting Hill apartment with a £23,000 sparkler. The dream was shattered however when in July 2005 the Sunday Mirror revealed Law's misdemeanours with his former nanny, Daisy Wright and the actor released a statement the same day, publicly apologising to his fiancée and her family. The pair attempted to plaster over the cracks, but Law finally called it a day in August the same year after rumours circulated that Miller was playing him at his own game with Layer Cake co-star Daniel Craig. The couple reunited again in 2010, and appear to be going strong.

Paul McCartney & Heather Mills

In that time, Paul remained admirably quiet about the proceedings, while Heather spat the dummy to anyone that would listen, culminating in a cringeworthy rant on GMTV, which soon saw her moving to America.

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears

He was the one she lost her much publicised virginity to but the power couple first went public with their romance back in 2000, sitting together at the MTV Video Music Awards. Courting a red carpet romance and unable to avoid the paparazzi glare, the cute couple said bye bye in 2002 after speculation that Spears had cheated on the ex-N-Sync singer. The retaliation came when Timberlake's Cry Me A River video featured a Britney lookalike and a tortured Timberlake. The singer however denied that the track had anything to do with the pop princess.
