JENNIFER GARNER - VARTAN TO BE CUT FROM ALIAS?

Sexy actress JENNIFER GARNER is preparing to continue her hit show ALIAS without beau MICHAEL VARTAN - because he fears he'll be booted from the programme next season.

The pair got together after Garner's marriage to SCOTT FOLEY crumbled, and they've enjoyed the opportunity to spend their days together at work.

But French-born Vartan fears it all may soon come to an abrupt end.

He tells PEOPLE magazine, "I may not be back for season four. Some of the characters are not going to make it. I hope I'm not one of them."
