She said: ‘It was one of those unfortunate things where we broke up. We had the great fairytale wedding and I still love that day, it was brilliant.

‘It is really sad and one of those things happens. We still have our dogs that we will share and no one else was involved, it just happened and it was a mutual decision.

I do not know how to explain it. I grew up out of love and she became more like my best friend. ”

“I didn’t even have time to think about it one way or another. As soon as they told me the story, they told me the result.

“It wasn’t about ‘here is the story, but we don’t know yet’, so I’ve always known what’s going on in the story, but my lips are sealed …”
