She said the split was amicable and that the couple would both continue to care for their son, born last August.

Elsewhere in the world of pop relationships Nicole Appleton has denied reports she is to marry Liam Gallagher on St Patrick's Day. She told GMTV that it is unlikely they'll tie the knot before next year, as they are too busy to organise a wedding. "We've no plans to marry - it's too difficult at the moment. We'd need a good few months to organise, some time off and a holiday. Maybe next year. We're happy anyway so what's the rush?"
