She said: “I can't even say why we split. I just feel like we're both at different point in our lives.

“We both respect each other and we didn't want it to get nasty or messy.

“There is only so much you can do in a relationship and when it's not working you've got to take separate routes.”

She continued: 'But I wish him all the luck in the world, he's not a nasty person. Everything happens for a reason. It wasn't one of those break-ups like ones I've had in the past where it was really bitter and nasty, this was more a decision we made together.
