The couple are said to have struggled with their 12-year age gap, and ultimately decided to go their separate ways."Kirsty was devastated but agreed it was for the best," a source told the Sun. "She and Danny were intense for a while but it became difficult. It didn't help that he's younger and she has kids."

"It's fun and exciting, but I tried not to put any pressure on myself and I learned you should only do it if it's right. We'll see what happens next year – hopefully good things!"The mum-of-two also said she'd be open to have more children in the future. "We're all ten years younger these days, so 40 is the new 30," she said. "I'm feeling better in myself – personally, mentally, physically – than I’ve ever felt. I think late 30s are a good time for women – if you can think positively, it’s the best time of your life."
