Tina Malone has split from her husband Paul Chase after nine years of marriage.
The former flames – who have a 19-year age difference and share five-year-old daughter Flame together – have called time on their romance after over a decade.
Taking to Twitter to reveal the news Tina, 56, wrote: "With great sadness i wrote this myself and paul have split up after 11 yrs together! (sic)"
The former ‘Shameless’ actress – who played Mimi Maguire on the Channel 4 show – married Paul in 2010 after two years together, and they welcomed Flame into the world in December 2013.
Her fans have offered kind words following the breakup, with one fan saying they were "sorry" to hear about the split.
One follower tweeted: "Hope you’re alright Tina x"
And another said: "So sorry to read your sad news. Always a very difficult time. Ĺove and hugs you"
A different user pointed out that Tina had been quiet on social media, adding: "Sorry to hear this Tina, thought you’d been quiet on here, wishing you all the best !!!!!! (sic)"
Just days ago, a fan asked if "all is well" after also noticing Tina has taken a step back, but she simply replied: "Im good thankyou xxx (sic)"
Tina – who has another child Danielle from a previous relationship – sparked controversy two years ago when she revealed she wanted to have another baby with Paul.
She said at the time: "Some will say I am selfish and irresponsible for having another child at 54.
"They will moralise and abuse me – even more so for selecting the sex of our baby – and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
"But I don’t give two f***s for what they think."
