James Norton’s model ex takes savage swipe at Happy Valley actor days after their split and he joined dating app
JAMES Norton's ex girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith has "celebrated" their split by taking a savage swipe at the actor.
The artist and model posted the iconic image of Nicole Kidman looking jubilant after finalising her divorce from Tom Cruise.
The 2001 picture became a viral meme and was used recently by Jenna Dewan following a contentious divorce from Channing Tatum.
Charlotte posted it on her Instagram story without comment after it was reported James had signed up to celebrity dating app Raya.
The 39-year-old started dating Prada model Charlotte, 25, in November of last year.
It's unknown why the pair called it quits, but the meme indicates the split wasn't amicable.

Charlotte was James’s first public romance since he and Outer Range actress Imogen, 35, ended their six-year romance.
James's profile on Raya features snaps of the star with a shaved head, which is a new look for his upcoming role in movie Sunny Dancer.
He is yet to comment on Charlotte's dig on social media.
Hollywood stars Nicole and Tom were married from 1990 to 2001 and adopted daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29.

The Big Little Lies actress recently spoke out about the famous meme, insisting she wasn't celebrating the end of her marriage.
“That was not me,” she said.
“That was from a film. That wasn’t real life. I know that image!”
Happy Valley viewers know James, 39, as Tommy Lee Royce in the BBC crime drama.
Earlier this year it was revealed James has signed up to star in the third series of HBO smash-hit House of the Dragon.
He is stepping into the world of Westeros as Ormund Hightower in the Game of Thrones prequel.
A description for the character reveals he is “Otto’s (Rhys Ifans) nephew, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and Gwayne’s (Freddie Fox) cousin, and the Lord of Oldtown. He is presently leading the Hightower host in a march on King’s Landing to support his house against Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy).”
