Trinny and husband can't hide their misery after divorce announcement

By Richard Simpson

TV fashion guru Trinny Woodall and her husband cut miserable figures today following the announcement of their divorce.

Woodall, 44, split from businessman Johnny Elichaoff, 48, after a string of arguments about her burgeoning work load.

The couple first started having relationship difficulties four months ago and have been to marriage guidance counselling in a bid to put their troubles behind them.
But despite desperate efforts, they have now called it a day.

Woodall will continue to live in the couple's £2 million property in London's fashionable Notting Hill with their four-year-old daughter Lyla and Elichaoff's son Zak.

Elichaoff, who is planning to move out within weeks, cut a sombre figure as he left home today. His day went from bad to worse when, out and about in his wife's pink Mini Cooper, he received a parking ticket.

A spokesman for Woodall told the Mail last night: 'We can confirm that the couple have sadly decided to separate. For the sake of their children, they ask that their privacy is respected at this time'.

In recent months, Trinny has been prone to arrive at fashion events without her wedding ring and rumours of troubles in the marriage have been rife since the early summer.

In May, the Mail was told by Trinny's representatives at there were no problems in the marriage. However, just weeks later, it was reported that cracks were forming in relationship.

Close friends say that the relationship has been struggling for months under the weight of recovering alcoholic Trinny's heavy work commitments.Continued...
