Ashley Banjo has said “sometimes after so many years people just move in different directions” as he announced he has split from his wife Francesca Abbott. The 34-year-old dancer rose to fame as the leader of dance troupe Diversity who won the third series of Britain’s Got Talent.
Banjo shared the news in a post on his Instagram story on Thursday, writing: “After much thought and consideration we both feel now is the time to share some personal news. Nearly 18 months ago we took the difficult decision to separate. After being together for over 16 years, since we were teenagers, this is not a decision that has been taken lightly.
“It has not been easy and the processing of the situation has not been fast by any means. But we feel that as we approach the new year it is the time to share this news with others.
