Louise and Jamie officially ended their marriage of 19 years in December after months of speculation, after separating in October.

But according to The Sun, this was simply making official a divorce that had been on the cards for months.

Their source claimed that Louise had filed for divorce a full nine months before it was finally granted, saying “The marriage was over long before anyone previously believed.”

The exact reasons for the split have not been released to the public, but the divorce settlement cited “unreasonable behaviour.”

The pair have two children – sons Charley and Beau and appeared to be a happy family. But speaking to the Daily Telegraph after the separation, Louise confessed to feeling trapped.

“I have spent most of my life pleasing everyone else, worrying about being judged and thinking I should always do the right thing by staying at home, looking after my kids and my husband. I lost myself.

“I became a sort of Stepford Wife, wanting to be perfect at it.”

After appearing on Strictly Come Dancing Louise seemed to find a new lease on life, as she rediscovered her love of performing.
