Jumping on the break- up bandwagon following news of Gwen Stefani's split from Gavin Rossdale, and Zayn Malik's separation from Perrie Edwards, the Muppets co-stars announced they were parting ways.

Kermit announced the news on his Twitter with an official statement.

He wrote: "After careful thought, thoughtful consideration and considerable squabbling, we made the difficult decision to terminate our romantic relationship.

"We will continue to work together on television (The Muppets/Tuesdays 8pm this fall on ABC) and in all media now known or hereafter devised, in perpetuity, throughout the universe.

"However, our personal lives are now distinct and separate, and we will be seeing other people, pigs, frogs, et al. This is our only comment on this private matter… unless we get the right offer. Thank you for your understanding."

Miss Piggy added: "Dating moi is like flying close too the sun. "It was inevitable that Kermit would drop down to the ground while I stayed in the heavens." What is the world coming to!
