This Morning star announces split from husband on Valentine's Day

This Morning star Georgina Burnett has announced her marriage is over.

The ITV star took to social media on the most romantic day of the year to reveal her new single status and share an advert for some skirting boards!

Writing to her Twitter followers, Georgina confessed: "Time to share some personal news that my marriage has split up.

"Don’t worry I’m not alone today and I’m excited about my next happier chapter as a fortunate single mum - as excited as I am about these from @SkirtingWorld - which would you go for?"

The former BBC weather forecaster, 44, added a video of herself looking at some skirting options as she broke the news to her fans.

"There’s ways to get over a breakup but this is the first time I’ve heard of someone indulging in a review of skirting board as a way of doing this! At the best for the future, Georgia," one of the star's followers mused on Tuesday.

"Happy Valentine’s Day, and happy skirting," another joked, as a third quipped: "I’m off to snog my skirting and think of you Georgina. Have a lovely Valentines Day you beautiful human being."

Some of the star's fans were more serious with their replies, with one tweeting: "So sorry to hear your news, that is always sad to hear about a marriage breaking down, but the most important thing in life is that you remain happy!

"Keep that gorgeous smile burning! xx."
