During the latest episode of the podcast Darts Draait Door, presenter Damian Vlottes let slip that Van de Voort knew their relationship had come to a close.
Vlottes said: "They broke up — you told me.'
To which Van de Voort replied: "True, yes. But what else do you want me to say about it?

SunSport has approached both Sherrock and Menzies' camps for comment.
The news comes after Sherrock made her return to television on Sunday at the Women's World Matchplay.
Menzies was nowhere to be seen in the crowd as 'The Queen of the Palace' took to the stage at Winter Gardens.

The Scot is normally watching on for all of Sherrock's matches but wasn't present for her return despite being in Blackpool himself for the Men's World Matchplay earlier in week.
Sherrock reached the final, ultimately losing to Lisa Ashton, 54, after a string of eight missed darts at double.
Darts star Cameron Menzies has nightmare as he busts with incredible 180 and is left with head in hands
Meanwhile Menzies lost 10-2 to Danny Noppert in round one of the men's matchplay, exiting with the worst average (81.35) of the competition after busting with a 180.
Menzies and Sherrock used to practice together at home, with Menzies admitting Sherrock would often get the better of him.
He previously told Sky Sports: "We enjoy our practice together and she is a very class player.
"She has done well for darts in general and is banging in 90 averages and 100 averages, the same as a lot of women.
"I'm quite lucky I've got a very good partner who can play darts.
"It's good in the house unless she beats me and I've got to make the food. I don't like it when she beats me.
"I will support her left, right and centre. I am her biggest fan.
"I might be a bit strict, but I know how good she is. I've known her for a very long time and I know she is very, very good.
"She's taken me places I would never have experienced because of darts, so I'm a very lucky person."

The pair had met while playing in an online darts league, competing in a doubles team.
Following their initial online encounter, Menzies revealed that "It started off with a KFC''.
He said: 'I had known Fallon for years in darts and played doubles with her years ago.
''We met in an online league in Southampton.
''The rest is history as they say. It started off with a KFC.''
Former plumber Menzies, who fixed a sink on the day of his world championship appearance, was also a brilliant father figure to Fallon's son Rory from another relationship.
Sherrock was dubbed the 'Queen of the Palace' after becoming first woman to win at the World Championship back in 2019, ultimately reaching the third round.
The 31-year-old announced last month that she is taking a year-long break from darts after battling with health issues.
She said: "I just need to sort myself out.
"I need to get myself well again and then once I do, the sky is the limit because I know I can do it and I know how many hours I've got to put in, what standard I've got to play. So I can do it, I just need the energy for it first."

BBC to air film about The Vivienne after drag star's death
BBC to air film about The Vivienne after drag star's death "Although she left us far too soon her life was defined by her breathtaking talent, scene-stealing charisma, and infinite kindness" The Vivienne passed away in January at the age of 32 (Image: PA) A tribute film about drag queen The Vivienne is set to air this summer. The BBC has announced the feature film, Dear Viv, will chronicle the life of James Lee Williams, who performed as the drag queen and tragically passed away in January at the age of 32. A coroner ruled that the performer's death was by misadventure when Williams suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest after taking ketamine, PA reports. The star gained prominence after clinching victory in the first ever series of RuPaul's Drag Race UK in 2019 and securing third place in the 2023 series of Dancing On Ice. Williams, who was raised in Colwyn Bay, adopted the drag name as they were renowned for donning Vivienne Westwood clothing. Through a mix of interviews, family photos, home videos and behind-the-scenes Drag Race footage, the film will commemorate The Vivienne's life, tracing their journey from north Wales and Liverpool to the international stage. The film will also feature interviews with Williams' family, early mentors and Drag Race friends including Baga Chipz, Michael Marouli and Danny Beard. Tia Kofi will also appear in the film alongside Cheryl Hole, Raja, Monet X Change, and Trinity The Tuck, as they pay homage to the drag star. The film also addresses the star's self-admitted struggle with ketamine addiction and the campaigning carried out by The Vivienne's sister, Chanel Williams, who advocates for improved awareness around the dangers of the drug. Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato, co-founders of World of Wonder, who produced the film, said: "We wanted to celebrate The Vivienne and not just mourn her. The Vivienne was best known for Drag Race UK, which she won in 2019 (Image: BBC) "Although she left us far too soon her life was defined by her breathtaking talent, scene-stealing charisma, and infinite kindness. "We hope her vision and her voice shine through in Dear Viv and that it inspires everyone who watches it. "Although producing it was bittersweet, we are so grateful to friends and family for trusting us to tell The Vivienne's story. Above all, we hope Viv loves the film as much as we loved her." Nasfim Haque, the head of content for BBC Three added: "Dear Viv is a fitting tribute to The Vivienne who truly was a trailblazer in the world of drag. She showcased her artistry and talent brilliantly and paved the way for many to follow in her footsteps".

Katie Price reaches out to Harvey's lookalike half-brother to arrange first meeting after dad Dwight Yorke's snub
KATIE Price is trying to build family ties with her oldest son Harvey's half-brother who recently turned 18. The former glamour model, 46, welcomed Harvey in 2002 after a brief relationship with his father, the former footballer, Dwight Yorke. 6 Katie Price, with her oldest son Harvey Credit: Getty 6 Harvey's dad is former footballer, Dwight Yorke Credit: Rex 6 Dwight is also dad to Orlando, 18 Credit: Facebook 6 Dwight and Katie dated briefly in the early 2000s, but he left her while she was pregnant Credit: Getty Dwight, 53, has never been in Harvey's life and even initially denied he was the lad's dad, but DNA tests proved he was Harvey's father. Harvey has a number of disabilities, including autism, Prada-Willi syndrome and septo-optic dysplasia, and Katie has long advocated for him in the public eye. The former footballer came under fire recently when he wished his other son, Orlando a happy 18th birthday on Instagram. But for Katie, it was the first time seeing Dwight's other child and saw it as an opportunity to reach out to Orlando so he could meet his older brother, whom she had only seen for the first time in Dwight's birthday post. She revealed on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, that she has always wanted to meet Orlando, as do her other two children Junior and Princess, whom she shares with ex husband and singer, Peter Andre. "Me, Princess, and Junior have always wanted to know what he looks like... and I can't believe how much he actually looks like Harvey; his eyes, and he's like six foot,three, [he has] the same size shoes as Harv," Katie began. The mum-of-five then revealed she contacted Orlando directly and dropped another bombshell about the 18-year-old's social media. "I have reached out to him to see if he wants to [meet] because Junior and Princess want to meet him and obviously, Harvey," Katie explained, adding "He actually follows Harvey and Junior [on Instagram]." Katie explained how she discussed with her older children that Orlando has likely never reached out to them before because "he's probably too scared because of his dad." "No one else has been in contact from the family, and it's pretty sad in that he obviously follows Harvey and Junior, and he's probably curious as well," Katie mused. Katie Price takes another savage swipe at ex Peter Andre and says Princess is 'scared to tell the truth' Earlier this month, Dwight was slammed as a 'deadbeat dad' for not being in Harvey's life. But when he took to Facebook to wish Orlando a happy birthday, plenty of people had strong opinions about his parenting style. Dwight posted nothing on Harvey's birthday back in May, or on previous birthdays. The post angered fans with dozens jumping into the comments sections to ask: 'What about Harvey?' Many slammed Dwight for 'selective parenting' and choosing his youngest son over Harvey. 'Yeah what about Harvey? Call yourself a good Dad, I think not… big up to Katie. She is a fantastic mum and dad to Harvey.' Another said: 'How sad to recognise one son and have no contact with Harvey. Ur a dead beat you don't pick and choose which child you wanna raise.' 6 Katie was left to raise Harvey on her own Credit: Paul Edwards
