The couple, who have a son, Bear, together said it had “been a tough decision to make” but that they still had “so much love for each other as a family”.
We are sad to announce that we are going our separate ways. It's been a tough decision for us to make. We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world and we ask that you respect his privacy as we navigate our way through this together.

Walsh told ITV’s Loose Women: “It’s obviously tough, but she’s doing really well. We’ve both got young boys the same age, so we get together all the time. I was there last week, we had a BBQ. Just seeing the kids playing together, this new phase we’re in in our lives is actually so lovely.”
She also spoke about another of her projects, a one-woman cabaret-style show.
She said: “I’ve actually been rehearsing this whole week for a one woman show I’m doing, like a cabaret show. It was because I was feeling a little bit nostalgic and feeling I wanted to be back on stage. I missed the West End, but didn’t want the full on hours.”
