It seems that Ronan Keating’s split from his wife wasn’t as ‘amicable’ as he would have us believe. In fact insiders suggest that the new X Factor Australia judge was thrown out of his family home, after he admitted to cheating Yvonne during a recent tour.

Ronan was heartbroken as he revealed that he has slept with a dancer on the Boyzone tour but his wife just couldn’t forgive his indiscretions.

A source told The Mirror: “Yvonne was heartbroken but she made her mind up on the spot. The cracks were there already, but this was the final straw.

“She isn’t the sort of person to forgive and forget. Ronan has accepted her decision.”

The source added: “It was during these nights away from home that he’s thought to have strayed. It’s a lonely existence being on tour with lots of late nights. Sadly, the temptation proved too much.”

Boyzone manager Louis Walsh admitted he was shocked when he heard the news. “I didn’t see it coming at all,” he said. “Ronan and Yvonne have always been very close. They were a great couple and spent their time together. I don’t really know any more. It’s come as a total surprise to everyone.”

Ronan’s dancing pal is now expected to sell her story to the highest bidder, which we’re sure he’s not looking forward to. The sooner he escapes to Australia the better!
