Davina McCall has announced that she has split from her husband Matthew Robertson after 17 years of marriage.

The couple have been married since June 2000 and have three children together.

The presenter hinted at big life changes in an Instagram post two days ago when she posted a motivational quote which said "your past is  your past. Leave it there. Get on with the future part."

She captioned the image: "I really know about this one... I have made so many mistakes in my life ... but there is always a new day."

She was previously married to actor Andrew Leggett in 1997, but they split the same year.
