A judge has signalled the end of the marriage of Great British Bake Off judge Paul Hollywood and his wife Alexandra.
Ms Hollywood, 55, filed for divorce on the grounds that the 53-year-old celebrity baker had committed adultery.
District Judge Robert Duddridge on Friday granted a divorce decree at a hearing in the Central Family Court in London.
The judge held that Mr Hollywood had committed adultery and that Mrs Hollywood found it “intolerable” to live with him.
He concluded that the marriage had broken down irretrievably.
Neither Mr nor Mrs Hollywood were at the hearing, which lasted less than a minute.
Judge Duddridge granted a decree nisi.
A marriage does not formally end until a decree absolute has been granted.
Detail of the reasons for divorce emerged in court papers.
The judge had heard how the couple had married in 1998.
They split two years ago.
Mr and Mrs Hollywood had begun fighting over money at a separate court hearing.
But lawyers representing the television star have said an agreement has now been reached.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
