Linekers to have a quickie DIVORCE today!

Gary Lineker and his wife Danielle have split after six years of marriage amid claims that they disagreed over starting a family together.

The pair's divorce is to be confirmed today, just over six years after the former footballer and actress were married in Italy in 2009, but they insist they remain on good terms.

It is believed that Danielle, 36, wanted to start a family but Lineker, 55, who already has four children, feels he is too old to become a father to another baby.

The divorce comes just days after they were last seen together on a night out in London, but it is claimed they have been living separate lives for over a year.

The couple, believed to worth around £20million, are said to have spent just £400 on the divorce, filling out the online forms together to get a Decree Nisi which was granted today.

A spokesperson for the pair told MailOnline: 'Gary and Danielle have decided to end their marriage and their divorce was confirmed today with the judge granting a Decree Nisi.

'They remain the greatest of friends and wish each other every happiness.'

Gary took to Twitter this morning to confirm the news, posting: 'Thank you all for your kind words. @DanielleBux and I had many wonderful years together. We remain very close and the greatest of friends.'

Danielle reiterated his statement, saying: 'We have shared the most incredible 8 years that I will always cherish. We will remain the best of friends.'
