Geordie Shore star Gaz Beadle has been slammed by fans for the way he announced his split from wife Emma McVey.
Gaz, who shares two children with Emma - Chester and Primrose – casually confirmed the news on Instagram during a Q&A with fans, saying there was no 'bad blood' but that the two parents both 'deserve to be happy'.
When asked if he was still with his wife, he candidly replied: “We split three weeks ago. We are still friends, there is no bad blood or anything and we have worked out the best way of doing it for the kids, which for me and Emma is always going to be the most important thing.

“We both deserve to be happy as well as being parents.”
When another person asked if he planned to stay in Leeds now that they have broken up, he said: "I can't be too far away from the kids so I'll probs be looking like an hour radius, as I think Newcastle will be too much of a travel with them weekly and during the week."
After he shared the bombshell announcement, a number of fans felt shocked by the way he’d spread the news, surprised that he’d spoken out in such a ‘laid back’ manner during a Q&A while charging his car.

Commenting on one of Emma’s posts, one person wrote: “When Gary announced the news so laid back in a general Q&A is below the belt in my opinion.”
Someone else agreed: “Can't believe he just announced it on a Q & A like it wasn't a big deal.”

Others, meanwhile, pointed out that they’d spotted signs something was afoot between the couple before Gary said anything.

One had asked in a comment: "Have you and Emma split up? You are never in the same photos or post anything about each other anymore. Just curious."
Indeed, the last grid post of Emma Gary shared was on 13 September, when he paid tribute to her on her birthday.
"Happy bday to the best mummy and wife see you soon," he wrote, adding: "Don’t look a day over 20.
"Love how you still get ID’d for a can of Monster."

Another person had also clocked posts that Emma had been liking on Instagram, writing:
“I had a feeling you and Gaz may have split from some of the posts you’d been liking. He says it’s amicable and I hope it is! Sending love to you all, even when it’s mutual it’s still tough when there’s kids involved.”
Tyla has reached out to Gaz for comment.
