TV star Jeremy Kyle has split from his wife of 13 years.
Kyle and Carla Germaine met when she entered a competition to marry a stranger on a Birmingham radio station, where Kyle was working.
She married the stranger but they later split up and she got together with Kyle.
In 2012 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Speaking about his treatment in 2013, he told TV host Jonathan Ross he broke down in tears before going into surgery.
"It was horrible walking down to the theatre and saying goodbye to Carla, and I broke down in front of the anaesthetist, said to him, 'I think there are millions of people in Great Britain that would like to see me like this right now', and then don't remember anything else," he said.
During the same interview Kyle also commented that his wife "wears the trousers" at home, saying: "There isn't a man in the United Kingdom who's married who's telling the truth who says that his wife isn't in charge. You've met Mrs Kyle. Mrs Kyle is in charge."
News of their separation comes after Kyle, whose show often features rowing couples, let slip on air that he had not had sex "for ages".
He made the remark in June after a woman appearing on the show spoke about her rather more active sex life.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
