Jeff Brazier has revealed he quietly split from his wife Kate Dwyer earlier this year after being married since 2018.
The television regular and his now ex had been together for nine years and tied the knot in 2018, but Jeff revealed that they split up earlier this year.
The 43-year-old shared a post to Instagram, saying he wanted to start the week with some “honesty”.

He wrote: “A moment to practice what I preach and start the new week with honesty. One for the smilers and eternally positive individuals who don’t often afford themselves the right to share their own vulnerabilities.
“I have so much to be grateful for and I appreciate facing the lessons I need to grow but this year has been challenging to say the least.
“My nine-year relationship ended earlier in the year and I’ve been working through that on top of supporting someone close to me who is going through something difficult.”
His post went on: “The boys and I have recently moved home to a new area and I spend most of the time alone as the boys obviously have their own things going on.
“It’s been constant change this year and I’m good with adapting but the combination of things have left me low at times and I’ve honestly never felt loneliness like it. Can we put Christmas back a few months?!
“I have lots of great friends and I know they’re a phone call away but sometimes I find it hard to admit I’m struggling with all of the change preferring just to keep working through it myself. I’m a bit too good at that.
“There was always going to come a day when the boys didn’t want or need me so much and I thought I’d be more than ok with having all this time on my hands!”
Jeff has two sons – Bobby and Freddie – with the late Jade Goody.
He said that in sharing the post he hoped to encourage other people to open up about how things are going for them.
Lisa Snowdon commented: “Hey darling, sending you a big hug and know that I’m here if you wanna have a chat or a boogie.”
Meanwhile, former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas left two heart emojis.
