Hayden Panettiere has broken off her fling with U.K. TV presenter Steve Jones - because she doesn't want a long distance relationship.

The 19 year old Heroes star was spotted dining with Jones at London's Nobu Berkeley restaurant in May and later that month the pair was spotted getting cozy on David Furnish's yacht while holidaying in the French Riviera for the Cannes Film Festival.

However, Panettiere decided to call things off with the 32 year old hunk - because jetting between her home in America and the TV star's U.K. base would be too trying.

She says, "I'm single and mingling. Steve lives in London; the distance is a bit too much. I'm not dating anyone specifically and I'm not looking for a house with anyone. Cannes was a great experience. I was on vacation and some friends were going so I decided to come along. It was fun."
