Chris Evans has given a rare insight into his divorce from Billie Piper.
The 54-year-old Virgin Radio DJ split from ex-wife Billie Piper, 37, back in 2004 before they officially divorced in 2007.
In a recent interview, Chris suggested the pair underwent a conscious uncoupling without realising it at the time.
The former BBC Radio 2 presenter discussed the idea of conscious uncoupling on his radio show after watching TV series Laurel Canyon.
Chris said that the series has an episode about the romance between singers Graham Nash and Joni Mitchell, and claimed their break-up was “a very early version of conscious uncoupling”.

The radio DJ told his co-hosts: “The first time that I heard the phrase conscious uncoupling was to do with Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin.
“And lots of people said at the time, ‘You’ve just split up, you’ve just dumped each other, why are you calling it conscious uncoupling?’
“And I thought, it’s just a fancy way of them sort of smoke screening the fact that they’ve ditched each other, but I didn’t realise that conscious uncoupling is a thing and there’s a book about it and it’s brilliant.”

Chris added: “If you read the book, if you are going to part company with someone, it’s the best way to do it if you still get on because you might love them, but no longer like them.
“You might like them, but no longer love them, but if you like them and no longer love them, you will end up loving them again one day if you consciously uncouple.

“And if you love them, but no longer like them, you will end up liking them again if you consciously uncouple.”
Chris then had the studio giggling after he admitted his theory that he and Billie “unconsciously consciously uncoupled”.
He explained: “But I think that Billie and I, I think we unconsciously consciously uncoupled.
“So there’s maybe a book in there, it wouldn’t be very long, but anyway, it’s a thing!”
