Hayley confirmed the news on her Instagram Stories with a post that read: “It is with regret that I announce that me and Mark have gone our separate ways.
“We’ve had the best year together and I sincerely wish him all the best for the future.”
She ended the message: “I’m going to listen to Taylor Swift”
The pair tied the knot a year ago, and earlier this month Mark sounded more in love than ever as he spoke to Hayley about their relationship.
Mark explained how he hoped to sweep her off her feet and take her to their favorite spot, Southsea, before a delicious meal at the Toby Carvery.
In an exclusive interview, romantic Mark told The Sun at the time: “We found a bench in a quiet spot by the beach and spent hours talking and getting to know each other, so we decided to come back to celebrate our anniversary.
“Luckily, there’s a pretty nice Beefeater near where her parents live. They already know Hayley’s order — nachos and chips.”
“Our first date was perfect and I’m looking forward to sitting on that bench with Mark again,” said Hayley.
“It looks out to sea towards the Isle of Wight — a stunning place. And then obviously towards the local Beefeater.”
Smitten Hayley added: “Obviously I think he’s very handsome. His cheekbones are better than mine. He is such a striking man, so tall. He should be the next James Bond.

“He makes me feel amazing. If there are other people around, it always includes me and makes me feel really good. He is so respectful and kind. I couldn’t be happier.”
While the couple admitted it was difficult as their work sent them all over the country, they loved being able to focus on their careers at the same time as their romance.
“We get along really well and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been,” Hayley said. “I feel good about myself — Mark is just my cherry on top. I’m incredibly happy.”
The couple shared a photo on the beach last week as they marked their anniversary.
In the picture, Hayley happily cuddled into Mark’s 6ft 7in frame as they stood on the rocks.
Mark has not yet publicly commented on the breakup.
