It's sad when a marriage comes to an end. Even if it is just a TV marriage.
It's Daybreak's Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley who've come to the end of the road and are about to divide their CD collection. They may have lasted longer than Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries - not that hard really - but the Daily Mail says the .
