Afterwards many pointed out that there were several signs that they had gone their separate ways.
Despite their split, Ashley, 31, and Francesca – who share two kids Rose, three, and Micah, two – reunited for a festive day out.
Francesca shared what they got up to on Instagram.
Sharing a boomerang of the family together, she wrote: “Thank you for all the love and support.
“Happy Christmas Eve x”.
She also shared clips from their day out at Marsh Farm in Essex.
The mum-of-two edited together snippets together with Daniela Andrade’s Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas played in the background.
She captioned the post: “A little bit of Christmas magic with a visit to the big man himself 
“@marsh_farm @ashleybanjogram.
“#christmas #fatherchristmas #magical #family.”
It comes after Francesca made a major change to her social media after their split was announced.
She’s removed all traces of her husband from her Instagram bio as she now says she is a “working mummy of two”.
The bio previously named and linked to Dancing On Ice judge Ashley.
However, she is still using Ashley’s surname, instead of her maiden name which is Abbott.
Francesca also hinted at their secret split almost a year before they announced it as she referred to ‘testing’ times at the start of the year.
Sharing a picture of herself with Ashley and their two kids, she wrote: “After the last week of 2021 continuing to test us, its easy to be consumed by the negative. So here is what I am thankful for 
.”
Taking to Instagram to announce the split, Ashley explained the couple decided to part ways 18 months ago.
In a joint statement, the pair said: “After much thought and consideration we both feel now is the time to share some personal news.
“Nearly 18 months ago we took the decision to separate.
“After being together for over 16 years, since we were teenagers, this is not a decision that has been taken lightly.
“It has not been easy and the processing of the situation has not been fast by any means. But we feel that as we approach the new year it is time to share this news with others.
“Our main focus will always be our beautiful children. Every decision that has been made is to make sure we can continue as a loving family and give the very best of ourselves as parents.
“Raising Rose and Micah in a healthy and happy environment is the most important thing to both of us.
“Sometimes after so many years people just move in different directions, but we do so lovingly and we continue to try and be both the best parents possible and the best of friends to each other.
“We have always been private with our personal lives, so we kindly ask that everyone please continue to respect that privacy.
“We won’t be making any further comment on the situation. Thank you, lots of love, Ash and Chess x”
Ashley got engaged to Francesca back in 2014, with the pair marrying a year later.
