Dancing On Ice star Alex Demetriou has shared a cryptic post about letting go of stress after confirming that he's split from his wife.
Alex and Carlotta Edwards, also a DOI skater, had been married for four years, but Alex feels that their decision to go their separate was is "best for the both of [them]."
During his most recent DOI stint, in which he took to the ice with Love Island's Maura Higgins, Alex was met with a number of rumours that the pair had developed a romantic bond - something they've both denied.
Now the hunky skater has taken to social media to post about cutting loose from stress.
Sharing a snap of himself in workout kit and a map of his run, Alex wrote: "With all the stress you carry around...with every step leave it behind, clear your mind, fuel your soul.
"Ocean breeze and the sun is out. What more can you ask for? Best time yet as well. #freethemind #isolation #blackpool."
He shared a lengthy post announcing he and Carlotta had called time on their marriage, penning: "I'm sorry I have been quiet on social media recently but it's been a tough time personally for me.
"Carlotta and I have separated.
"Although it saddens me that we can no longer be together, I feel this is best for the both of us. I'm looking forward to what the future will bring but in the meantime let's all stay home and stay safe. Alex xx."
Maura has slammed the rumours that she and Alex are more than friends, lamenting that some people think their connection must be romantic.
She told The Sun on Sunday's Fabulous : "Alex and I are so close - we've trained together for months...We're very close friends and we get on well.
"We have such a laugh, and we're still going to be friends. No matter what's said, I'm not going to be afraid to hang out with him."
Maura and Alex fell out of the competition just prior to the final - Joe Swash went on to claim to crown.
