Fats Timbo broke down in tears as she revealed she has split from husband Alan Laszczak after less than a year of marriage. 

The comedian, 29 - who found fame on shows such as The Undateables and Don't Look Down - tied the knot with Alan Laszczak last August in a ceremony that merged their two cultures: Sierra Leonean and Polish.

On their big day, which was held in Cornwall, the pair were cheered on by friends and family including The Traitors star Meryl Williams, as they said 'I do' after six years of dating. 

Yet the couple didn't get the fairytale ending befitting of their magical ceremony, with Fats revealing in an Instagram video on Monday that just seven months later the couple had separated.

Addressing her 418,000 Instagram followers, Fats - who has achondroplasia, the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism - shared that it was one of 'the hardest times of her life', adding: 'I never thought a year after getting married, I'd be getting a divorce.' 

Welling up, she continued 'Let me not cry on camera...  I never thought I'd do this kind of video ever.'

Fats continued: 'It's been about four months now since we've been separated, and we have decided we are going to get a divorce.

'It's very amicable. I don't want to disclose the reason because I respect him.

'Now that I've got myself together, I know it's not anyone's business, but because our wedding was so public, practically the whole world saw it. 

'Now that we're separated, you know, about to get a divorce, it's like everyone's asking about him, everyone's asking about how marriage life is going, and I'm here trying to focus on healing.

'I never ever pictured this at all. Anyone that's going through something like this, honestly, I'm holding your hand because it's not easy.

'Me and him spent an incredible six years together, and I'll never forget our experience.

'One thing I've learned from this is that you could think that you're gonna be in a certain place at a certain time in life.

'But God has completely different plans. Completely different plans for you. Moving forward, I'm gonna discover who the new Fats is.

'Over the last how many months, my friends and family have been such a big support system to me. These kind of moments really show who's there for you and who's not.

'I'm so grateful for them and I'm so grateful for you guys as well. 

'You've been there for the whole journey, from when we got married, from now, to be honest.' 

Last summer, Fats gave fans an insight into her lavish wedding ceremony, sharing snaps of her two stunning bridal gowns. 

For her first look, Fats modelled a white satin gown with Bardot sleeves and cut-out detailing on the bodice. 

She added to the ensemble with an ornate pearl necklace and a lace-adorned veil. 

The Don't Look Down star later changed into a strapless lace gown with a sweeping train as she partied the night away with her loved ones.

Fats looked incredible as she posed up a storm with Meryl - who also looked radiant in a lilac caped gown with a pleated skirt. 

Meryl, 29, documented the day on her Instagram, sharing a gallery of snaps on Monday with the caption: 'BEST WEDDING EVER ✨

'It was such an honour to be part of your special day @fatstimbo & @alanlaszczak Seeing you both so happy together was so beautiful! 

'Forever grateful our paths crossed. Wishing you both a lifetime filled with love, laughter, and endless memories.' 

Both Fats and Meryl were born with achondroplasia, the most common form of short-limbed dwarfism. 

TikTok star Fats first found fame on The Undateables in 2018 - a reality series that follows single people with disabilities who sign up with a dating agency to help find partners. 

She announced her engagement in May 2024 after her boyfriend of four years popped the question.

Photographer Alan - whom she did not meet on the show - proposed during the couple's romantic trip to Thailand.

The trio also posed for a snap with disability advocate Amy Pohl who has complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), a neurological condition that causes chronic pain 

Fats told how she and Alan, who has cerebral palsy, 'understand each other' as they both have disabilities.

Speaking on Loose Women last year, she said: 'He's amazing, he's a gentleman. Everything I want in a man. We both have a disability so we understand each other. I love to be on camera, he loves to be behind the camera, so it works.'

Discussing Alan's proposal, Fats said: 'I'm going to tell you what really happened. I saw a TikTok about someone getting proposed to on the last day of holiday.

'So, I told him: "It's been four years, no ring, what's going on?" I was in a bit of a mood, I was thinking: "You're taking me for a ride."

'He said: "Let's go take a walk on the beach." When we got there, he said: "You're upset with me just turn around." I turn around, and he's on one knee.

Fats has previously explained that she does not like the term 'dwarf', preferring, as many do, 'little person'.

Since appearing on The Undateables, she has gone on to feature in shows such as Don't Look Down and was a commentator at the 2024 Paris Paralympics.  

Fats has amassed a gargantuan 2.9million followers on TikTok and over 300,000 followers on Instagram. She specialises in hilarious skits and is not afraid to make fun of herself.

Her estranged husband Alan is also fond of social media and is detailing his fitness journey as someone with cerebral palsy.

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail in 2024, Fats revealed that she initially turned down The Undateables, explaining: 'I didn't like the name whatsoever, that's why I declined initially.

'But then I thought about the bigger picture. I was very young, I was 20 and I thought I could find love.'

Fats continued: 'Also, the first time I ever saw a Black little person was on The Undateables and I thought: "What if I do that for other people?" So, I changed my mind and I messaged them.

'It was a great experience to be honest with you. Although a lot of people say "you're not undateable" and I know it!

'But I'm glad I went on there and showed people my personality and that's where I started my journey. I'm proud to say I did.'
