Ex-soap star finding it hard going

Jack Ryder left Eastenders not that long ago planning a wonderful life as a film actor and husband to singer Kym Marsh.

Not even two years later he is not only out-of-work and out-of-the-marriage, but also depressed and gaining weight, according to Popbitch.com.

The couple is supposedly "amicably" separated but Kym seems to be taking it better that Jack. She's been seen out and about with Charlie from Busted and an unnamed techie from one of her video shoots.
