Debbie had been comforting the singer in Ibiza as the news broke he has fathered a love child with US journalist Liza Ghorbani, leaving his five-year marriage to Nicole Appleton in tatters, reported Sun online.
"Liam and Debbie have become too close for comfort for management. It doesn't look good for them if there appears to be flirting between an employee and their star. She has left -- but not on her own terms," a source said.
Nicole is currently with her family, believed to be in the US. The married couple have not had any contact since Liam rang to admit he had fathered seven-month-old Gemma with Liza.
Liam and Nicole have a 12-year-old son, Gene, together. Liam also has another son, Lennon, 13, with his first wife, Patsy Kensit, and a daughter, Molly, 15 with model Lisa Moorish.
