Coronation Street star Kate Ford has spoken out about splitting from her husband, Jon Connerty, after seven years.
The 36-year-old actress, who plays Tracy Barlow in the UK soap, admitted to The Sun that it was a very difficult time in her life.
She explained: “We really tried hard to make it work. But it came to the point when we knew we had to get a divorce.
“Things had changed and it wasn't what it was. But it was incredibly painful. For a while after we split, I found it hard to get out of bed.”
Last year the couple, who have a six-year-old son, Otis, revealed that they were taking some time apart.
But despite the traumatic split, Ford feels things have improved.
“I wasn’t at work at the time, and I’d drop Otis off at school and go back to bed until I picked him up," Ford recalls.
“And now, 14 months on, what happened doesn't consume me as much as it used to. It used to consume me every minute of every single day.”
