It’s little wonder that Candice wasn’t feeling her best as she’s been through a lot this year, secretly splitting from husband Liam Macaulay, following a two-year marriage.

Back in August, Candice liked a post by artist and author Charles Mackesy, which encouraged ‘holding on’ when ‘your mind plays tricks on you.’

It read: ‘Sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. It can tell you you’re no good, that it’s all hopeless.

‘But remember this; you are loved, and important and you bring to this world things no one else can. So hold on.’

The same day, claims emerged that Candice and her tree surgeon beau had secretly split earlier in the year.

The report asserts that Liam has moved out of the pub – The Green Man in Eversholt, Milton Keynes – where the couple previously lived together, and back to Ampthill, Bedfordshire. 

According to The Mirror, Candice Brown’s representative said at the time: ‘I can confirm Candice and Liam separated earlier this year.’

After five years of dating, the couple announced their engagement in October 2017, just over a year after she first appeared on Bake Off.

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.’
