'Countdown' star Rachel Riley and her husband Jamie Gilbert have split just 16 months after getting hitched, according to reports.

"Rachel just told him they had grown apart."

Insiders have insisted no one else is involved, and that the split is down to the couple spending too much time apart.

"Jamie's stuff is still at the house so he hasn’t technically moved out."

Rachel – who was partnered with Pasha Kovalev on 'Strictly' until she was voted off earlier this month – met her husband at Oxford University in 2005 and married him in August last year.

Earlier this month, the maths boffin admitted she needed to 'create a new character' for some of the sexier dances on 'Strictly'.
