Talking candidly Alice explained that she is currently in “shock” about what happened between them and was clearly upset when she said Ioan is no longer talking to her personally.
The star also admitted that she is has a “long and messy” divorce ahead of her as things have become “nasty” and she doesn’t know why but she understands that Ioan had formed a relationship with someone else.
Seeing the emotional scenes unfold live on air, viewers took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
One fan penned: “I really feel for her. Why do some men turn into cowardly idiots.”
Another said: “@AliceEvansGruff just watched on #lorraine my heart breaks for you! Just know it won’t feel like this forever. Good luck.”
A third penned: “I hope Alice Evans doesn’t regret these interviews later down the line, because she’s obviously lost in grief at the moment, but I really feel for her. Nobody ever shows the woman’s side.”
“My heart goes out to @AliceEvansGruff who’s in tears on #Lorraine. Very upsetting seeing a woman so heartbroken and in pain. I hope she can stay strong and rebuild her life. Sending positivity and love,” a fourth added.

Talking frankly during the interview Alice said: “You don’t know what it’s like until it happens to you and I didn’t know it was going to happen to me.
“He told me in the first few days I just don’t love you anymore.”
She continued: “I’m not questioning his rights to feel that, I’m not bashing him but it came out of the blue.
“About four months we just continued here and he kept on saying ‘sorry I just don’t feel the same for you anymore, I might leave or I might not leave.'”
Alice went on to say that it came to the point that Ioan stopped talking to her and would sleep in the spare room.
Due to his actions, Alice believed she may do herself “harm”.
Hearing her heart-breaking story, presenter Lorraine comforted her and told her to please take care of herself.
