The mum of one, an events manager, said: “We’re not divorced yet but still live together.

“I’m gutted we’re losing the house but I’m moving nearby.

“I’m just happy to be near my little boy. Ryan and I have no plans to move in together.”

Ex-England cricket ace Ryan, 41, began dating her after ending a nine-year marriage to Kate, 45, mum of his two kids.

But Kate’s dad Roy blasted him over the break-up.

The Yorkshire county cricket fan — who idolised Ryan when he bowled for the side — rapped: “I’ve nowt to do with him now.

“He’s not on my Christmas card list. I have my thoughts on this but they are staying in my mind.”

Maddie’s businessman hubby Sean said they broke up before Ryan began romancing her.

He said: “The marriage was over and she found someone else, simple as that. It was over and done with. What she does next is her business.”

A source added: “It hasn’t been easy for anybody, especially Kate and Sean. But it’s worked out as best it can.

“Ryan and Maddie are devoted to their kids. That won’t change.” Another source claimed Ryan, of Harrogate, North Yorks, went on ITV’s Dancing on Ice for cash as he was “being taken for every penny” in a bitter divorce.

But Maddie insisted: “He’s not on because he’s short of cash. He’s gone on because it is an amazing opportunity for him.”
