In a joint statement to Hello! magazine, they said: “It is with sadness that we announce we are separating. Our focus continues to be the happiness of our son Eddie.”

The couple married in Rome in September 2012 after meeting in 2009, when her parents introduced them.

In 2014, they moved to Spain in pursuit of a ‘healthier lifestyle’. The move came after Nick ruptured an artery in his sinus.

At the time, the 53-year-old said: “I’ve always lived my life at a million miles an hour and pushed myself hard. But it had got to the point where I knew the balance of my professional and personal life wasn’t right.

“I was trying to be in so many places, I had so many plates spinning and the pressure was getting on top of me.”

The presenter has also previously defended the age gap between him and 28-year-old Jessica, telling The Daily Express: “As one of life’s romantics I had always hoped that I would find someone who would make me truly happy and with whom I could look into the future long-term - and I have.”
