Original Popstars winner Kym Marsh has split from husband Jack Ryder after one year of marriage.
Marsh, 27, and Ryder, 21, announced a "trial separation" last night after vowing to save their relationship at the weekend. It is believed the pair, who wed in July last year, had hit "turbulent" times of late.
"It is with sadness and regret that we have to announce we will be taking a trial separation as of today," the couple said in a joint statement.
"Over the last couple of months we have experienced some turbulence in our relationship.
"This, together with Kym's work commitments, has added an even greater strain on the marriage.
"The decision to spend some time apart has been made mutually and amicably and our number one priority is to preserve the marriage and to consider the children.
