18 years together.

Not surpsing really, she already cheated on him twice.

What a shock ... Not.

They've had problems for years

Poor Norman, my heart goes out to him

Sorry to read that as I had thought/hoped they had worked through their difficulties.

A much nicer announcement than that other couple though. Saying there'll continue to raise their children together and living next door but one from each other.

OMG that really sad.

It was kind of on the cards really . I like Zoe, but she really is a shocking flirt . That much publicised full on snog with that young group member last year was a bit much . Fair play that Norman appeared to get past it , but clearly he probably didn't .
I wish them both all the best and hope the lack of animosity continues .

I'm sorry to read this and wish them both well. Sometimes a couple can't find (or maintain) enough common ground to make a marriage work. When that happens, it's best to break it off while they can still be friends (or at least be civil to one another) especially when there are children involved.

Poor Norman Cook

That's sad.

Good luck to them both..........

How shocking.

Why do these people who lead chaotic lifestyles with drink and drugs have kids?!?! At least Norman has stayed sober and appears to be settled and want to be a responsible parent now although having kids obviously didn't make him change his lifestyle before that. Zoe on the other hand has started drinking again and by her own admission seems to be an all or nothing type of person. It's hardly any wonder this has caused problems in the marriage, not to mention her indisecretions with other men. Obviously no one knows what goes on behind closed doors in a marriage but the only people I feel sorry for are their children. It must be hard enough being the child of someone in the public eye but to read about your parents marriage in the media must be horrendous.

Feel extremely sorry for the children, particularly her son. Hope he has some really good mates to stand by him.

I couldn't agree more - very well said LovesATango

I felt quite sad when I read this which is absurd because I don't know either of them. I remember Zoe from her "ladette" days and always thought she looked a whole lot of fun. I loved Fat Boy Slim and they seemed a dream partnership. I guess they felt obliged to make an announcement as ITT starts today and there would doubtless be nosy "journalists" sniffing around after Zoe's drunken kiss with that young 'un last year. I'm quite sure neither of them will say anything else about their relationship from now on but it won't stop the DM et al banging on about it.

Oh dear!

Poor Norman indeed.

Couldn`t agree more, sometimes marriages just don`t work and no one really knows what goes on behind closed doors and in relationships. They are obviously friends as they live next door but one to each other.

No matter what is written in the gutter press no one really knows what has gone on, 18 years is a long time and in celebrity times it`s a lifetime !

What saddens me more is the comments in the general in the comments sections of papers, it`s like the salem witch trials !

This is life unfortunately. At school more than half of my friends' parents were all split, and as I get older I come across SO MANY people (through work and social) that are on 3rd and 4th marriages. It sometimes puts me right off the prospect of marriage when they go on about the divorcing process. I dont' know what it was, but in my grandparents day couples seemed to stay together despite hating each other (as my gran once told me in regard to people she knew), but now people just seem more ready to admit they can't try anymore. While it's sad, it's much healthier to split, I think.

I've got friends who are in their second/approaching third years of marriage and they all still seem to be in their honeymoon periods. It's lovely to still see and I just hope more of them stay together long term than not, but it's very early days. Some of our friendship group have yet to marry (inc myself) and we mainly comprise of the ones that aren't sure whether we need or even want marriage. We pref holidays and not being tied to people generally. My now married friends are apprehensive about how future kids, money issues can all play a part in what was once happy turning sour, but no point worrying about what is yet to happen.

Despite myself, I'm really struggling to like Zoe at the moment - I know it's silly - but the loss of innocence & charm has been lost from ITT, she's really not the warm momsie host I've grown to like... 😕

I've been married for 32 years - no, it doesn't work or last if one of you decides to go out and fling yourself at other people for a bit of attention! You have to work hard at the romance when you've two kids running around! At least celeb couples can afford a weekend away now & then!...

Maybe they'll break up to make up ...

again.

I am struggling to enjoy ITT with Zoe . Not so much about her personal life but the repetitive nature of her interviews

" how much did you love the dance "
How much do you love your partner "
How emotional were you after the dance "

" i teared up when you danced "
" We all looooved your cha cha "

Ad nauseum the same questions over and over now

must admit I am finding it difficult to enjoy it take two now, Zoe's antics have taken the magic away
