A source told The Sun: "It is sad but Trevor and Jo realised they weren’t making one another happy any more, and that it was time to move on with their lives.

“Trevor is still very much in demand work-wise, and wanted a fresh start. He feels young and still has a twinkle in his eye.

"He and Josephine have a long history so obviously they are still speaking, and everything is amicable."
