MATTHEW Wolfenden and Charley Webb have confirmed they've split after five years of marriage.
The couple, who both shot to fame on Emmerdale, met on the set of the ITV soap in 2007.
But last night Charley, 35, released a statement confirming she and Matthew, 43, had gone their separate ways.
They first sparked rumours of marriage troubles weeks ago and it seems signs of a split have been there for a while.

Bold social move
Despite them being parents to Buster, 13, Bowie, eight, and Ace, four, and their long relationship, Matthew raised eyebrows when he unfollowed his wife on Instagram earlier this month.
