Natasha Hamilton and Ritchie Neville SPLIT just five months after announcing engagement

The couple only recently spoke about their wedding plans, but insist they'll remain friends

Natasha Hamilton and Ritchie Neville have split up, just five months after announcing their engagement.
The former Atomic Kitten singer and her 5ive star fiance insisted they will remain good friends, as they share daughter Ella Rose, one, together.
"After careful consideration, we have decided to amicably end our relationship," they said in a statement to Mail Online.
"There is no one reason for the failure of our relationship. Unfortunately it's just the way things have turned out and it's no one's fault.

"In the interests of our family we remain good friends and we hope that people will respect our privacy at this time."
The couple - who first got together in 2013 - announced their engagement last year, and have openly discussed their plans to marry in 2017.
Ritchie popped the question in Rome, and the pair shared happy snaps from the romantic getaway shortly after.
He said at the time: "'I knew I was about to do it and then all of a sudden I started shaking and adrenaline was rushing through my body."

While Natasha added of the ring: "It's beautiful. He couldn't have picked a more perfect ring."

The singer told Mirror Online last year that she was planning an "intimate" ceremony with her other half.
