Brooke’s obvious affection towards Zac sent her Today show colleagues into fits of laughter.

‘When you said sorry you did not look sorry at all!’ laughed Leila McKinnon. 

Grinning like a Cheshire Cat, Brooke responded: ‘Breakups are awful, but come on Zac.’

She then said her mother Leonie will be happy to hear the news of Zac’s split too.

After some more chatter about the split, Leila and Karl Stefanovic joked that Brooke could start stalking coffee shops in Byron Bay to bump into Zac.

‘I’m not a creeper, whatever happens, happens!’ Brooke responded with a laugh. 

Radio host Kyle Sandilands confirmed Zac had split with model Vanessa following a ten-month romance.

Rumours first surfaced that the 33-year-old actor and Byron Bay waitress, 25, had called time on their relationship on Tuesday.

And a day later, Kyle, 49 – who is good friends with Zac – revealed on live radio that it ‘wasn’t just a rumour’, saying: ‘I can also confirm after speaking with him yesterday.’

Kyle told his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson that he had phoned the actor to speak about the upcoming Netflix show, Byron Baes.

There had been rumours published in Woman’s Day that Zac was trying to get Vanessa on the influencer-focused ‘docu-soap’, that Kyle refused to believe. 

When he asked his pal about the rumours, Zac apparently admitted that he and Vanessa were no longer together.

Kyle said their split was ‘recent’ but not ‘yesterday recent’, and that there was ‘no drama’ in their break-up.

‘It’s confirmed by Kyle,’ Jackie concluded, as Kyle claimed Zac was simply getting back into the swing of work and their busy lives weren’t in sync.
