Linekers to have a quickie DIVORCE today! Gary, 55 and his wife Danielle, 36, in shock split following six years of marriage... amid claims they 'disagreed over starting a family'

Gary Lineker and his wife Danielle are set to divorce after six years of marriage. The couple - who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Italy in September 2009 - are expecting to be granted a quickie divorce at 10am today. A spokesperson for the pair told MailOnline: 'Gary and Danielle have decided to end their marriage and their divorce will be confirmed today with the judge granting a Decree Nisi. They remain the greatest of friends and wish each other every happiness.' News of their shock split comes after the estranged pair were spotted attending the theatre together in London just last week, with Danielle's wedding ring noticeably absent as she walked yards ahead of her husband. Three weeks ago, the model-turned-actress posted a cryptic Instagram message about 'wishing for' or 'recovering from love'. The shock split comes amidst claims they disagreed over plans to expand their family. Gary has four children with his first wife Michelle, while Danielle is mother to a teenage daughter with ex-Coventry footballer Adam Willis.
