Former Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh ended her three-year marriage to rapper Professor Green today in a quickie divorce hearing lasting less than 30 seconds.

The 26-year-old Quality Street heiress wed the rapper in September 2013 in a lavish ceremony at Babington House in Somerset.

However in February this year, the couple announced they were ending the marriage.

Millie, who is the heiress to the Quality Street empire established by her great-grandfather, was granted a decree nisi by District Judge Heather MacGregor in a brief hearing at Central London Family Court.

In the court papers, Millie cited "unreasonable behaviour" as the reason for the split.

Neither star attended court to see their union end.

When their split was first revealed in February, the couple released a statement saying: "It is a mutual decision, we still care deeply about each other and would like it to be known that it is on amicable terms and we wish each other well."

Green, 32, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, admitted at the time he had only seen his wife once in 2016, describing their relationship as “like ships in the night”.

Since the marriage broke down, the rapper, currently starring on Channel 5’s Lip Sync Battle, has been romantically linked to banking heiress Kate Rothschild.

He and Millie first met in 2011 after he saw her on the cover of men's magazine FHM, and they made their relationship official by appearing as a couple for the first time at the 2012 BRIT Awards.

Green proposed in March 25, 2013 during a holiday in Paris, prompting Millie to share a picture of the ring with the comment: “If I could scream loud enough for the whole world to hear I would.”

They wed on September 10 that year, but in the sumer last year it was reported Millie had demanded a divorce during a public bust-up in Istanbul.

The couple made their last public appearance at the Cosmopolitan Women of the Year Awards in December last year, and had apparently spent months trying to save their marriage.
