Nicola Sturgeon Announces Separation from Peter Murrell

Nicola Sturgeon recently announced the end of her marriage to Peter Murrell, revealing on Instagram that they have been separated for some time. The announcement came shortly after she was seen enjoying a night out with friend Val McDermid at the launch of Glasgow's International Comedy Festival, where they plan to appear together in March. Sturgeon expressed excitement about their upcoming performance, joking that they might need a double act name. Despite the separation, sources indicate that Sturgeon and Murrell are still on good terms and continue to share a home. Sturgeon has also been spotted at McDermid's Edinburgh flat, hinting at a close friendship during this challenging time. Their separation appears to be unrelated to ongoing police investigations involving Murrell, who has faced embezzlement charges.
