He wrote: “It’s with a lot of sadness I write this post, but unfortunately, in the world we live in, it has to be done.
“My priority is my daughter’s and Chloe’s happiness and security. For that reason, I won’t be commenting any further.”
The 38-year-old reshared his joint statement with Chloe which revealed the pair had been secretly separated since September.
It read: “James and I mutually decided to separate at the end of September, 2023.

“We had not planned on releasing a statement at this time – certainly not while the television show was airing – but constant speculation about our marriage has, unfortunately, forced our hand.
“Beyond this statement, we will not be speaking about this matter publicly, and we would request privacy at this time.
“Our sole focus now is our beautiful daughter. We shall continue to co-parent with nothing but love.”
James and Chloe married in 2018 after meeting four years earlier.

Earlier this week, they reunited back at their London home. Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan’s daughter and James both took to Instagram to share a video of Bodhi having fun in a car.
