On Tuesday, Liam confirmed their split as he revealed that their two-year marriage collapsed under the pressures of fame.
Speaking for the first time since the couple announced their separation, Liam Macauley said: ‘There is nobody else involved. We have just sadly decided it wasn’t working.’
Liam told MailOnline he struggled to adjust from life as a tree surgeon and being thrust into TV personality Candice’s showbiz world after they tied the knot and ran a pub together.
Liam admitted their relationship came under strain just days after they got engaged when Candice, 35, was seen getting close to Paul Hollywood on a night out.
He said he struggled to cope under the ‘intense pressure’ as he faced claims his new fiancée kissed the 54-year-old divorced Bake Off judge on the lips, despite her insistence that it was a friendly goodbye peck on the cheek.

In September 2018, Candice exchanged nuptials with her longtime love at Château de Varennes in Burgundy, France.
Candice revealed the happy news on Twitter, simply writing: ‘Got married, didn’t we?’
She later wrote: ‘The congratulations & love we have received is incredible! Thank you so much for all your kind words!
‘I keep bursting into tears (of complete overwhelming happiness & joy) -to anyone posting negative comments- I hope one day you experience the love and happiness we have #wife.’
Speaking shortly after the ceremony, Candice said of their relationship: ‘We have always said we work better together than we do apart. Being able to say we are now husband and wife is such a lovely thing.’

The TV star revealed Liam popped the question where they shared their first date in Bedfordshire.
She told Hello! at the time: ‘I get emotional. Because it’s been such an amazing year. I feel very lucky. I’ve had such incredible opportunities – GBBO opened so many doors – and to top it off he puts a ring on it.
He reached into the glove compartment, got out the ring, got down on one knee and said, ‘I love you, you are my world. Will you marry me?’
Liam continued: ‘So I proposed in a car park. But it really meant something to us. Candice just cried for five minutes before she could say, “Yes!”‘
Following her 2016 Bake Off victory, Candice and Liam sparked engagement rumours when she wore a show-stopping ring to the National Television Awards.

Candice grew up in a pub run by her parents in North London, and last year opened her own tavern, The Green Man in the scenic village of Eversholt, Bedfordshire.
The star previously admitted she will be taking a leaf out of Dame Barbara Windsor’s EastEnders landlady of the Queen Vic Peggy Mitchell book when it comes to pub management.
The baker claimed she is ‘dying’ to use Peggy’s famous words ‘Get out of my pub’ when tossing out any rowdy customers.
She told BANG Showbiz: ‘I’ve just bought a pub, I want to do the best Sunday lunches, and comforting, warming and hearty food.
‘I’m an ambassador for Love British Food, so I work with the farmers to promote that seasonal and local produce is when food is at its best.
‘It’s called The Green Man in Eversholt, I’m hoping it will be open in mid-February, it’s so exciting. I was brought up in pubs with my brother and I want this to be a real family affair.’
Candice’s husband Liam threw his support behind his wife’s business venture, and her brother Ben and his girlfriend Sophie also got on board.
She added: ‘It’s been a real family affair. A real baptism of fire but it’s going to be amazing. I got it with my brother Ben, so his girlfriend Sophie is involved too.’
