Jeremy Forrest hit the headlines last year when he and his schoolgirl lover fled to France to be together.

In June, Forrest was jailed for five and a half years for abducting the female pupil.

The schoolgirl, who can not be named for legal reasons, originally claimed she was committed to her former teacher.

It was believed that the pair would resume their controversial relationship after Forrest had served his prison sentence, but the girl has since given him the boot for a boy of her own age.

Speaking to the Sunday Mirror, friends of the abducted girl claim that the pressure of media speculation and being separated from Forrest is putting too heavy a strain on their relationship.

The schoolgirl told friends " It's become too much, trying to have a relationship with someone I can't see or talk to."

"It's too hard to carry on with the relationship."

Keen to explain her decision to Forrest, the schoolgirl intends to talk to the disgraced teacher in an attempt to explain the reasoning behind her decision.

The illegal affair caused a huge rift in the schoolgirl's family, her desperate mum pleading with her to see sense and separate from Forrest.

Upon deciding to end her relationship with the incarcerated educator, the schoolgirl has been able to patch things up with her mother, even moving back into the family home.
