“We have sadly grown apart over recent years and been living apart since earlier this summer.”
The duo married in 2002, after meeting when Carla entered a radio station competition to marry a stranger where Jeremy was a DJ.
Unsurprisingly, Carla’s relationship with prospective groom Greg Cordell didn’t go well, and shortly after it ended, she began dating the TV host.
Carla and Jeremy have three children together - Henry, Alice and Ava - and the split news comes just weeks after Jeremy made a revealing comment about his personal life on his ITV show.
When quizzing a guest about whether she had cheated on her partner, she declared: “Listen, I get sex from [my boyfriend] whenever I want. I don't need to go and get sex from someone else.”
Jeremy then responded: “Tell him then! I've had enough about talking about it. I haven't had sex for ages myself.”

Simply imagine the caption banner that would appear on the screen as TARDIS companion Amy Pond tries to explain her situation to dear old Jezza: “My daughter is in love with my best friend! Also, she is a convicted murderer. And she is technically older than me.” Not to mention the unfortunate habit her husband Rory has of frequently dying, or the fact that the family friend her daughter River has the hots for is an immortal alien.

The Pendragons (Merlin)(02 of05)

King Uther and his son Arthur are the picture of medieval respectability. That is, until you consider Morgana, Uther’s illegitimate daughter and Arthur’s half sister. Then there is Morgause, Morgana’s wicked and incredibly creepy sister, who encourages Morgana to use her knack for black magic to claim the throne of Camelot for her own. Families, ey!
The Crawleys (Downton Abbey)(03 of05)

While all may be calm and super-civilised on the surface of Downton Abbey, guilt and resentment must surely burn away at the heart of the Crawley family. Youngest daughter Sybil narrowly avoided being disowned after declaring her intentions to marry the Socialist chauffeur, Lord Grantham shared a brief dalliance with one of the maids, and Lady Mary simply cannot seem to escape her past – specifically, the time she boffed a Turkish diplomat to death.

The Lannisters (Game Of Thrones)(04 of05)

Game Of Thrones is a labyrinthine epic populated with a number of complicated family trees, all of which probably deserve a place on this list. But the most troubled (and troublesome) family by far are the Lannisters, those blonde-haired, fair-skinned tyrants who are intent on ruling Westeros. Led by Tywin, the father who rules with an iron fist, the Lannisters are certainly an interesting bunch. There's Tyrion, the black sheep who drinks his way around every brothel in the land, and Joffrey, the bratty heir and fledgling psychopath. And then, of course, there are the royal twins, Jamie and Cersei - whose relationship is far from healthy…
The Mosby Kids (How I Met Your Mother)(05 of05)

You can’t help but feel for those poor children, who have been subjected to seven years’ worth of incredibly inappropriate stories by their dad, who still hasn’t got around to telling them about the time he met their mum, instead focusing on giving them the ins and outs of his sex life in his twenties. Creeptastic. (credit:Flickr:Kwintin)
