Kara Tointon’s ‘first love’ was from her relationship with James Bourne
Her “first love” was Busted singer James Bourne who she started dating when she was only a teenager. Their relationship ended after seven years together.
She was accused of “dumping” the musician because his band split. But she claims they had called it quits on their relationship five months before the Busted dismantled. They were together until 2005.
Responding to rumours about her relationship with James, Kara Tointon shared: “It was horrible that people would think I’d break up with James because he was no longer in the band. He just said, ‘If you’re an actress, you’ve got to get used to this’.”
