But his wife Catherine FitzGerald seemed to be in excellent spirits as she posed for a festive snap at Glin Castle, Ireland, which was shared to Instagram on Monday.

The Irish aristocrat wore her golden tresses loosely tied behind her head and let her signature fringe stylishly frame her face while relaxing at her ancestral home.
The snap, which was posted by Glin Castle’s Instagram page, was captioned: ‘There’s nothing quite like a warm fire burning in the hearth at this time of year.

After they returned to the UK, Catherine insisted ‘we’re very much still together’, and the couple shared a kiss for the world’s media outside their home in Chippenham, Wiltshire.
Dominic and his wife kissed for the cameras outside their home and wrote a note that read: ‘Our marriage is strong and we’re very much still together.’
Catherine broke her silence to assure MailOnline that her marriage is ‘fine’, as friends confirmed she was determined to make her marriage work and avoid a divorce.
She told a reporter: ‘We’re fine, thank you very much, yes we are. Things are OK between us. We don’t need any advice from anyone, thank you.’

A close friend of Catherine’s also revealed: ‘Yes, Catherine was devastated and humiliated by the pictures of Dom with Lily.
‘And it’s well documented and clear what his views on infidelity are.
‘It may surprise a lot of people but that doesn’t mean their marriage is close to ending.
‘They have had some difficult discussions but are still very much together.
‘They’ve got a lovely family and she wants to do everything she can to keep it together.’

While another friend said: ‘Even if she wanted to, it’s not that easy for Catherine to walk away from the marriage because she’s locked into it in many ways.
‘They’ve got four young children and Dominic is also the main breadwinner. And there’s also the considerable financial investment in Glin Castle to consider.’
However, it was later contrastingly reported the marriage is ‘as good as over’.
Catherine married Edward Lambton in 1995, becoming Viscountess Lambton for a time, until their divorce in 2002.

The friend added: ‘The divorce left some deep emotional scars on Catherine and she doesn’t want to go through another painful break up.
‘The experience left her feeling very crushed and it took a long time for her to get over it.
‘She wants to avoid another divorce at all costs.’
Last month, Catherine’s mother Olda Fitzgerald posted a gushing comment on a photo of her son-in-law with Catherine, saying: ‘My eldest daughter and my darling son-in-law who both work so hard to keep me in clover! How lucky am I?’
She added: ‘Hooray darlings congrats on sweet photo.’

West and Catherine married in June 2010 after reuniting following their university romance.
Lily had met Dominic when they starred in a stage production of Othello in 2011, and Luncheon magazine, a biannual cultural title, brought them together again for a regular feature in which two celebrities shoot the breeze over a meal.
At the time, Lily was regarded as one of the most promising acting stars, following starring roles in the BBC’s adaptation of War And Peace and the live-action version of Disney’s Cinderella.
She was two years into a relationship with Doctor Who star Matt Smith.
