After a rocky start Chris Tarrant and ex-wife Ingrid have shown Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills how to divorce with a bit of dignity.

Ingrid has been granted £12 million - thought to be half of Tarrant’s fortune - in an “amicable” divorce settlement.

Reports of TV presenter Chris’ affairs were repeatedly splashed over the papers by a incensed Ingrid when their marriage originally broke-down in 2006, but she’s been able to finally the public war of words behind her.

She confirmed yesterday, “Yes, we have settled, I am just happy to get my life back. I'm not going to say anything more."

Now , if only Heather Mills would say the same!

A spokesperson for Chris said, “Chris is pleased to have settled with Ingrid. That part of his life is over and he is pleased to have reached an amicable agreement."
