Louise, 42, has moved out of the family home in Oxshott, Surrey.

And she has taken Charley, 12, and Beau, nine, to Majorca as Jamie stayed behind.

Yesterday Jamie, 44, cancelled a day of interviews to promote his Sky One panel show A League Of Their Own.

He is due to arrive on the Spanish isle next week to “take over the baton” of a holiday with the kids from Louise.

The Sun told yesterday that former Eternal singer Louise, runner-up on last year’s Strictly Come Dancing, had told pals about their split.

And today we can reveal Jamie also told friends it was over at a party after the House Festival in Richmond, South West London.

A source said: “Jamie was quite openly sharing the news. People were asking how Louise was. He told them the marriage was over.

“He even told acquaintances he wasn’t particularly close to, so it didn’t seem like a big secret.

“He must be devastated but was putting a brave face on it and seemed to have a good night.”

The split has coincided with a bladder cancer scare for former England and Liverpool star Jamie’s dad Harry, 70, manager of Birmingham City.
