Los Angeles: "Emmerdale" actress Michelle Hardwick has announced her separation from Rosie Nicholl after being with her for two years.

Hardwick revealed that they had ended their marriage a year ago, just 12 months after exchanging vows, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"Unfortunately Rosie and I did split last year, but are still good friends. It was one of those things where we did drift apart," Hardwick said.

"We had a big fairytale wedding and I still love that day. It was brilliant," she added.

Hardwick and Nicholl got married in April 2015.

"I grew out of love and she became more of my best friends. Like we were living as friends, not a married couple. We're still living together, just in separate rooms while the divorce goes through, but it's underway," she said.IANS
