Gone in 14 seconds: Cheryl’s marriage ties

-

CHERYL Fer nandez-Versini was granted a divorce in only 14 seconds yesterday after she blamed her second husband’s “unreasonab­le behaviour” for her dramatic weight loss.

The for mer Girls Aloud star was handed a decree nisi ending her marriage to restaurate­ur Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini at the Central Family Court in London.

In papers filed at the court the 33-year-old singer, who now just calls herself Cheryl, cited the Frenchman’s “unreasonab­le behaviour” as the reason for divorce, claiming it had caused her “stress and weight loss”.

Last year she provoked health concerns over her dramatic weight loss, with online critics questionin­g her skinny appearance.

Hitting back at one social media user who labelled her “a bag of bones”, the former Factor judge appeared to blame her weight loss on the death of her father-in-law.

On Instagram at the time, she said: “You have no idea what I have been through. Just losing my father-in-law recently and everything that comes with that. Not that I should justify myself.

“But I am so sick of people thinking it’s okay to be mean or body shame anyone. And it’s always woman on woman. Have some respect and maybe think there may be reasons why before opening your mouth please.” – Daily Mail
