Paul Hollywood and wife Alexandra granted divorce decree on grounds of adultery

Paul Hollywood and his wife Alexandra are officially ending their 19-year marriage.

The former couple were granted a divorce decree in a hearing at the Central Family Court in London on Friday.

The 53-year-old Great British Bake Off judge and his 55-year-old wife split in 2017, with Mrs Hollywood filing for divorce on the grounds of adultery.

Neither party was at the hearing, which lasted less than a minute.

District Judge Robert Duddridge granted a decree nisi. A marriage does not formally end until a decree absolute has been granted.

The judge held that Mr Hollywood had committed adultery and that Mrs Hollywood found it "intolerable" to live with him.

He concluded that the marriage had broken down irretrievably.

The pair separated previously, in 2013, after Mr Hollywood admitted having an affair with Marcela Valladolid, his co-star on the US version of Bake Off.

The couple reconciled before finally splitting in 2017.

TV star Mr Hollywood is now in a relationship with Summer Monteys-Fullam, 24.
