But in May last year The Sun revealed Kym called time on her relationship because of the strain of their jobs.

“Kym’s been so busy, and last year Strictly meant even her weekends were stacked up along with weekdays rehearsing.

“More recently she’s been filming all over the place and rehearsing for a new theatre run.

“And Scott is based in barracks down south — he’s got a very busy career as well.

“Kym’s still a working mum, too, and lives up in Cheshire with her family. In the end it was the fact they lived so far away from each other that just made it impossible.

“They had a trial separation earlier this year and were hoping to get things back on track but they’ve decided it’s best to go their separate ways.

“It’s very sad for all involved, but they’ve decided it’s time to tell their family and friends and focus on the future — which means filing for divorce. They’re hoping to keep things as amicable as possible. Hopefully time will help to heal things.”
