The UK's highest profile atheist Richard Dawkins and his actress wife Lalla Ward have confirmed they have separated after 24 years of marriage.
Professor Dawkins, who suffered a minor stroke earlier this year, and the former Dr Who star said their split was 'amicable'.
It is understood they are both still living in their marital home in Oxford and 'remain friends'.
According to the Sunday Times, they released a joint statement which said:
'Our marriage, like everyone's, is a private matter and we are not prepared to share any details. Suffice to say it is true that we recently separated entirely amicably.
'Obviously, this remains a difficult time, one which we simply will not discuss any further publicly. We would, however, like to stress that we shall always be friends and that we will, of course, continue to work together.'
