Court documents say Louise, 43, blamed 44-year-old Jamie’s “unreasonable behaviour”.

The Strictly tour has been blamed after Louise, who gave up a pop career to start a family, spoke of rediscovering her love of the limelight.

Pals say Jamie is furious at being blamed but eventually decided not to contest the terms as he wanted it finished, and to protect their two boys.
