Lucy Beaumont and husband Jon Richardson are known for rowing in mockumentary Meet The Richardson's where they play exaggerated versions of themsleves.
Nevertheless fans were left in shock, and featuring the series would be cancelled, when the couple - who share seven-year-old daughter Elsie Louise - announced they were to divorce after nine years of marriage in a joint statement on Friday.
But Lucy, 40, has previously revealed their squabbling was all part of their act, admitting many people 'didn't seem to realise it's not real'.
She told The Sunday Post in November 2023: 'I don't henpeck – we wouldn't have lasted this long if I was as mean to him in real life'.
'You don't want to see a smug couple in love, in a nice house, with a stable career and a lovely little child. Who wants to see that? I wasn't doing it if we were going to be like that'.

Before going on to say: 'We'll show the other side where we're just at each other constantly. It's a more truthful portrayal. The world we've got around us is slightly bizarre, but I think people still feel like they recognise themselves in it, which is good.'
The pair have starred in Meet The Richardsons, since it it first aired in 2020. Its fifth series began on Dave just this week on April 8.
Lucy previously joked about divorcing Jon, 41, just one year announcing their split with foreboding comment during a joint appearance on Eight Out Of Ten Cats Does Countdown last year.
Speaking on the Channel 4 show, host Jimmy Carr said: 'Lucy and Jon are married.
'So I know Lucy, everyone watching at home is dying to know... What made you decide to settle?'
Joking Lucy responded: 'I don't see this for life. Isn't it a song - just passing through? Is it?'
'Just passing through?' Jimmy asked.
She continued: 'You meet in your life old souls, new souls... a***holes. Who knows what will happen in the future.'

Cutting in, Jon asked: 'Are we breaking up now?'
The couple began dating in 2013 after meeting through fellow comedian Roisin Conaty, before tying the knot in April 2015 and welcoming their daughter in September the following year.
Recalling their first meeting in her book, Drinking Custard: Diary of a Confused Mum, Lucy said they 'hit it off' straight away.
She explained how she had just moved to London to pursue a career in comedy when Roisin invited her to a gig at The Fighting Cocks in Kingston-upon-Thames.
'I felt someone's presence behind me. I nearly fainted; honestly my heart was beating like the clappers as I was sure Jon knew I fancied him,' she wrote.
Speaking in an interview with The Sunday Times, Lucy added: 'It was quite symbolic as we have been fighting like cocks ever since.'
Two weeks after their first meeting at the gig, the duo went on to have their first date, writing in her memoir, she revealed 'something quite weird happened.'
Lucy previously joked about divorcing Jon just one year before couple announced their split.

Joking about their union: 'I don't see this for life'
'Jon dropped me off in his car to the train station and we swapped phone numbers,' the comedian wrote. 'Lo and behold, via Bluetooth, on his dashboard in big LED letters flashed 'MY WIFE'. I have never got out of a car so fast.
'I rang my friend Jackie and she told me very calmly that he must be a psychopath and to leave London immediately and come back and live in Hull with her again.'
A statement to the PA news agency read: 'After 9 years of marriage, we would like to announce that we have separated.
'We have jointly and amicably made the difficult decision to divorce and go our separate ways.
'As our only priority is managing this difficult transition for our daughter, we would ask that our privacy is respected at this sensitive time to protect her well-being. We will be making no further comment.'
