IRISH singer Imelda May has announced her split from musician husband Darrel Higham.

The Dublin singer and host of RTE's The Imelda May Show announced the end of her 13 year marriage to Higham, a former member of her touring band, in a statement posted on her Facebook page.

"OK so here it goes... My husband Darrel and I have split up. As you can imagine we are very sad but happy we're making the right decision for us and our daughter who is doing really well by the way.

"No matter what you hear and read my husband and I have the deepest love and respect for each other and are doing well."

The couple's daughter, Violet, was born in August 2012.
