RUTH Jones has revealed she's split from her husband of 26 years - and he's dating a lookalike of the Gavin and Stacey star.
The actress and writer quietly separated from producer David Peet 18 months ago.
He is now living in Canada where he has reportedly moved on with a Ruth Jones lookalike.
In a statement, the couple said: "We amicably went our separate ways 18 months ago and are now legally separated. We remain good friends.
"Since our separation, Ruth is living in London and David is living in Canada, where he is in a new relationship."
MailOnline reports David is now dating digital creator Jayne Charity Cook.
Jayne, who bears a striking resemblance to his ex Ruth, updated her Facebook profile picture to a cosy snap of her with David.
Ruth was a step-mum to David's three children from a previous marriage.
They met while filming a BBC pilot comedy in the 1990s. David was married at the time.
Ruth later said: "Affairs cause a lot of pain; they're not something one aspires to do.
"You don't aspire to cause pain to people in their life."
Ruth is best known for co-creating and starring in Gavin & Stacey alongside James Corden.
She recently won a TV BAFTA for her role as Nessa Jenkins.
The long-running comedy series aired its finale on Christmas Day 2024.
Taking home the gong for Female Performance in a Comedy, she brought back Nessa for a final goodbye on stage, pretending to be the character as she picked up the award before an emotional thank you gave way.
But speaking after picking up the Bafta statue, Ruth has teased that she and James Corden could be set to work on something new together.
She said: “I love working with James Corden, I really do, and I hope that we will carry on working together.
“I think we will. We will, because we just both, like, sort of sitting in a room together. We do a lot of napping, but we do write as well when we get going and, yeah, I just love working with him.”
