In happier times: Vogue Williams, 29, has discussed her separation from Brian McFadden, 35, for the first time, admitting the former couple have had a 'really tough week' in the wake of revealing the sad news

Writing her column for the Sunday World newspaper, Vogue said: 'This has been a really tough week for Brian and I. The support we've been getting from people online has been amazing.

'Seeing everyone's kind words has really made a difference in this hard time. We both have great families and friends that are being really supportive too.

'I don't want to say too much on the subject, but I will say that we really do remain friends and will always be in each others' lives.'

What's going on? The pair - who had been married since 2012 - set tongues wagging on Thursday when Brian was spotted picking Vogue up from the ITV summer party in London's Notting Hill

Vogue Williams puts on a brave face at the ITV summer party

Vogue and Brian announced they were going their separate ways last week when they posted identical statements on their respective Twitter and Instagram pages.

But the pair - who had been married since 2012 - set tongues wagging on Thursday when Brian was spotted picking Vogue up from the ITV summer party in London's Notting Hill.

Brian wrote: 'It is with sadness that Vogue and I have made the tough decision to go our separate ways.

'We will always care greatly about each other, remain friends and wish each other all the very best for the future.

'We have nothing else to say on the subject and we would like to thank our friends and family for their support during this difficult period. Brian x.'

Brian had recently gushed about Vogue being his ‘soulmate’, describing that it was ‘love at first sight’ in an interview with the Belfast Telegraph in April.

He told the newspaper at the time: ‘We instantly clicked and talked non-stop for eight hours the night we met and I proposed after eight months.

‘Meeting her was a life changer for me - she’s my soulmate. Getting married hasn’t changed anything - it was perfect anyway - but it has made us both feel quite grown-up.

‘You can be in love with someone but if you can’t be friends with them, it’s kind of pointless. We make each other laugh, especially after we’ve had a silly row about something.’

Short and sweet: Both Brian and Vogue shared this statement about their 'tough decision' to end things last week

In March, Vogue admitted in an interview with Now magazine that she already decided to call her daughter, if she ever had one, Sailor.

The couple, who were living in London, only signed a deal to buy a house in Howth in Dublin last month.

Prior to his relationship with Vogue Brian dated Australian singer Delta Goodrem for seven years, calling off their engagement in April 2011.

Brian and Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona also enjoyed a high-profile romance in their pop heyday and had daughters Molly, 13, and Lilly-Sue, 12, during the course of their four-year relationship.

Kerry quit the girl group when she fell pregnant with their first child and the pair tied the knot in January 2002.

They announced their intention to divorce just two years later.
