Why did Jessica Moor and Nick Knowles get divorced?

Although the real reason behind their split has not been revealed,  Nick has previously claimed that his TV commitments has affected his past relationships.

He said: "My relationships have pretty much followed a pattern.

"They last six months and start off with me explaining that I work a lot, so will have commitment issues.

"The women involved agree that that is fine, then after a month I get a phone saying 'This isn't on'.

"After three months we split up, then get back together. After five, there's another tussle. At six it's all off."

Just over a year after they broke things off for good, Jessica accused Nick of refusing to pay school fees for their son Eddie.

She claimed the TV star had gone back on a plan to send the three-year-old to public school.

Posting on Twitter she said: "As all parents can relate, children starting school is an incredibly emotional and happy time.

“I did not submit a submission for Eddie as it has been long agreed by my (soon to be ex) husband that Eddie would be privately educated — a luxury he is in the position to afford, as he has done for all his other children.

“As such, Eddie is enrolled to start private school this September (a school that me and my husband visited and chose together) except that he won’t, as I was advised by my husband’s solicitor that this promise has been withdrawn.”

She added: “To add insult to injury - like many men in his position of wealth and power he has advised he will not pay any legal fees meaning that I cannot afford to fight for our son’s education.

My husband has also said he will not purchase a house or give a settlement of any kind for us, this is disappointing but not unexpected — some people’s generosity is only present in front of TV cameras.”
