Gethin Jones and Katherine Jenkins may have split up because of her feet, his sister has suggested in bizarre claims.
The television presenter and opera singer were together between 2007 and 2011 but split up just 10 months after they got engaged.
But Gethin’s sister Mererid has suggested that Masked Singer star Katherine’s toes may have been the reason behind their split.
Appearing on his radio show, Mererid told listeners that Gethin doesn’t like when a woman’s toes are longer than their big toe.
She said: “I think so, yes. They have to tick every single box.
“If there’s one tiny thing wrong, like the middle toe’s longer than their big toe, he goes off on one.”

And, for those wondering, Katherine’s second toe is indeed longer than her big toe.
Gethin broke off their engagement in 2011 and, at the time, Katherine spoke of her heartbreak.
She said: “At the end of 2011 when Gethin and I broke up, the reality of it was that about two weeks later I had to go on a UK tour where every night I’m singing songs of heartbreak and every day just trying to find the energy to cope let alone going on stage and understand his reason for doing it.

“Meanwhile, everybody else is under the impression it was my decision, my ambition, I wanted to take over the world.
“It was so far from the truth.”
Now, Katherine is happily married to American artist Andrew Levitas and they have two children together – daughter Aaliyah Reign, four, and son Xander Robert Selwyn, two.

They started dating in 2013 and announced their engagement in April 2014, before they got married in September 2014 at Hampton Court Palace.
After he split from Katherine, Gethin had a short relationship with TOWIE star Lucy Mecklenburgh, who is now with Ryan Thomas.
The former Blue Peter presenter also dated model Katya Zwara in 2017, but it’s thought they split because their busy careers meant they couldn’t spend too much time together.
It’s thought that Gethin, who is on Celebrity MasterChef this week, is currently single.
