Kristen Stewart's fling with married director Rupert Sanders is set to stay in the headlines for some time to come - the moviemaker has been confirmed for the Snow White & the Huntsman sequel.

The couple issued apologies to its partners last month after photos of Stewart and Sanders kissing and cuddling in a Los Angeles park hit the Internet - and while the filmmaker attempts to save his marriage to model/actress Liberty Ross, it appears Stewart's romance with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson is over due to the "indiscretion".

But, despite the scandal, Universal bosses are pressing ahead with plans for a sequel to the film which brought the couple together - and, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the director and his leading lady will be back for the movie.

Stewart is already signed up for the sequel, but Sanders can still walk away from the project, according to the publication.
