Heroes actress, Hayden Panettiere has revealed the reasons behind her split from Laguna Beach star, Stephen Coletti in September of last year.

She told Seventeen: “I just knew I wanted to breathe. I wanted to be single at the time. It just hit me like a tonne of bricks - this is the time I need to be with myself.”

That must be why, just a few months later she hooked up with her older, and infinitely sexier co-star, Milo Ventimiglia!
