Rachel Riley has split from her husband Jamie Gilbert after just 16 months of marriage, according to reports.
The Strictly Come Dancing star, 27, has left her millionaire hubby Jamie “devastated, distraught and stunned”, a family friend has said.
The Countdown beauty, who was partnered with professional dancer Pasha Kovalev in this year’s Strictly series, shocked friends and family with the news of the break-up – which came less than a month after she was voted off the show. The split is said not to involve another party.
Another source said: “They are separated. Rachel is away filming much of the time. Jamie’s stuff is still at the house so he hasn’t technically moved out.”
According to reports, those close to the couple feared for their relationship when maths graduate Rachel landed a job co-presenting Channel Five programme, The Gadget Show.
