Jane is thought to have known Chris since she became friends with Daniel this year.
After splitting in October, Chris is believed to have paid Daniel a six-month rental advance for a three-bedroom apartment within a mile of his eight-bed home in Budon, Cheshire, and gave it an allowance of £ 500 per month.
A close friend of mine told The Sun, “Danielle is totally broken.

She was a companion with Jane, but that put a strain on their friendship.
