They added, She didnt intend to, but she felt shed been living a lie, telling friends she was OK when she wasnt. So putting it out there felt like a weight off and the support of the public, as well as family and friends, has been a real source of comfort.

In the tearful video, Suzanne confessed, Ive just been navigating some stuff in my life which is a break-up that Im going through at the moment.

I genuinely did not expect Id be saying this out loud... its been tough, its been really tough. I wasnt actually going to say anything online, I wasnt going to address this at all.

But I thought that the nature of my account is all about mental health my struggles with my mental health, quitting alcohol, changing my lifestyle, taking up running... all of the things that have brought me stability.

The singer had been engaged to Sam for 12 years but says she's now focusing on healing'

She added, Its been tricky but my goodness, thank God Ive got the tools to navigate this. Thank God its been six years of not drinking, six years of dedicating my life to my personal development.

Ive not been perfect through this and its been a bit messy, but Ive been able to tap into therapy and meditation, running, understanding I need to eat well and that I need to just lean into this pain and heal.

And it is a new chapter of deep healing now because Im going into the era of having the greatest love affair with myself.

Suzannes announcement may have seemed out of the blue, but she and Sam hadnt been snapped out publicly since 2022 the last time being at the press night for Sister Act: The Musical .

She hinted all was not well last month, sharing a Valentines Day tribute to herself. The post included the words, Dont settle, even if it means life will be a little uncomfortable for a while. Something wonderful could be waiting for you.

However, its not the first time Suzanne has had to navigate a painful break-up. She was previously engaged to Celebrity Big Brother star Darren, who walked out on her on Mothers Day when their son Corey was just seven weeks old.

Discussing the incident last year on Vanessa Feltzs 5 show, Suzanne revealed that Darren pretty much went out to get a curry and didnt come back.

Before her engagement to Sam, Suzanne was married to Heart FM presenter Jason King from 2009 to 2012, but they blamed their split on work pressures.

As our source claims, Shes been feeling lonely and lost she needs to find herself again. Its been an emotional rollercoaster, but shes determined to come out the other side. Shes been through heartache before and she can do it again.
