Today’s post comes exactly one year after Suzie first announced her divorce by checking herself into Paisley Sheriff Court on the social media site.

Derek Mitchell, 37, was convicted of a series of domestic assaults on Suzie in November of 2014.

The pair were officially divorced in a hearing which lasted just ten minutes.

Suzie is now married to businessman Kevin Irvine.
