Gary Lineker is splitting from his wife after 20 years of marriage, it has been revealed today.
The football presenter was apparently "devastated" after Michelle told him that their relationship had run out of steam.
"She feels the marriage has come to its end," a friend said. "She told him several months ago and they have already sorted out their finances.
"When Michelle told him she wanted the marriage to end, Gary tried to talk her round. But she has refused and it is now Gary who is asking for a divorce on the grounds of her unreasonable behaviour. It is fair to say he has been absolutely devastated but they now have an amicable relationship. There have not been any rows recently but they have just drifted their separate ways.
"The decision to split was made a few months ago. She's already spending some nights in a flat nearby. Friends are baffled by it."
