Millie Mackintosh and Professor Green announce separation

Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh and rapper Professor Green have announced they are splitting up.

In a joint statement they said: "It is with sadness and regret that we confirm our separation.

"It is a mutual decision, we still care deeply about each other and would like it to be known it is on amicable terms and we wish each other well."

The couple married in 2013 at Babington House, Somerset, in a celebration attended by Lily Allen and other Made In Chelsea stars.

The musician, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, posted on Instagram three weeks ago that they had only spent one day together "all year".

He said a trip to Florence, Italy, in January was the first time they had spent quality time together in weeks and told The Sun they were "like ships in the night".

Neither has filed for divorce yet.
