Professor Green has likened his divorce from ex wife Millie Mackintosh to a death, despite the pair having both moved on with new partners.

The rapper, 32, who released the video for new track Eye On The Door on Friday, told the i News: 'Of course whether you’re happy something’s finished or not, it doesn’t change the fact that it does still feel like there’s been a death. 

'An energy that’s always been in your presence is suddenly no longer there and you’re an idiot if you think that’s not going to affect you.'

Guilty conscience: Set in a lively squat party, Pro's track sees him rap about getting carried away on a night out when he should be returning home to his wife

Meanwhile, Pro's latest release appears to take a thinly veiled swipe at life with Millie, 27. 

Set in a lively squat party with strobe lights, pumping music and worse for wear revellers, the video for Pro's track sees him rap about getting carried away on a night out when he should be returning home to his wife.

His conscience - depicted by a ghoulish apparition in a female form - appears telling him to head home, but he keeps ignoring it. The more he ignores it, the more it haunts him.

Having a blast: The two-day filming process turned into a real life knees up with Pro inviting his pals IQ, Dream McLean, Damian Brambley and Memet Mustard to the set

The two day filming process turned into a real life knees up with Pro inviting his pals IQ, Dream McLean, Damian Brambley and Memet Mustard to the set.

'I thought the only way to depict a convincing party in the video, was to have a party,' said Pro.

'So I invited my mates along to the shoot. Luckily the camera men didn’t drink as much as we did...' 

In the doghouse: Pro's guilty conscience accompanies him home

Pro - real name Stephen Manderson - appears to suggest his and Millie's short-lived union was far from idyllic.

Lamenting an apparent lack of action between the sheets in the opening verse, the rapper suggests he and Millie spent most of their time watching box sets.

The musician also suggests Millie regularly kicked him out of the marital home in south-east London and would only allow him back in if he returned with a gift of material significance.

Personal: The lyrics from Eye On The Door appear to take a thinly veiled swipe at his ex wife Millie Mackintosh

He spits in the track: 'Me an the Mrs we are getting along/Till I do something wrong - then it's another domestic/People wanna know what my life's like.

'Behind closed doors what's my wife like/It gets crazy in bed - We watch a couple episodes/Of a box set and and then it's night night/When she hears this s**t it's lights out/I'll probably get kicked out of my house/Till I come back with a brand new Chanel bag.'

A second verse finds Pro Green's protagonist wrestling with his conscience; on the one hand fretting about divorce, while on the other putting his wife's feelings to one side while he parties with pals.

Referring to his use of drugs, he raps: 'One minute it was one, the next it was six/S**t I'm dead - I don't know where the time went.

'Where's my phone? S**t sixty-one missed calls/A divorce is on the cards if I don't split/And get my a**e in gear - I'm asking for it.

'A b****rd ain't I - auf wiedersehen/Better get my a**e in gear and get a car quick though, if I'm already gonna get my a**e kicked?

'Then pass it/What's one more half, what's one more spliff/What's one more glass/What's one more line, what's one more toke/I'm already a dead man when I get home.'

However, in a recent appearance on This Morning, Pro said Millie had originally been involved in the creation of the track. 

'Millie was on the intro of [One Eye On The Door] initially,' he told Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield.

'When the song was coming out she text me to say, "you must be happy it's finally coming out?" The song was written when we were still going out.' 

Back in black: The rapper wore an all black ensemble for his performance at the launch

The couple's two-and-a-half-year marriage was dissolved in just 30 seconds in May.

They were granted a decree nisi at Central London Family Court with Millie citing 'unreasonable behaviour' as the reason for their split.

Just one week after their divorce was finalised, the beauty, 27, went public with her ex-boyfriend Hugo Taylor and has been documenting their romance across social media ever since.

While the rapper, has reportedly been 'practically inseparable' from his rumoured new love Fae Williams.
