“Thanks to friends, family and co-workers on an otherwise rubbish day,” he captioned the photo of him with his kids and another family member.

“I’m glad I can be with the top three people in the world (+ Jem) to end it. Your words and kindness (and your food) were appreciated.

It comes just hours after Walker, the executive producer of ABC show The Weekly starring Charlie Pickering, announced his split from Bickmore on Instagram in a nearly identical post she uploaded this morning.

“It is with great sadness that @bickmorecarrie and I have decided to separate,” he wrote.

“While it is a difficult time, we are focused on raising, loving and supporting our three amazing children, Ollie, Evie and Addie, with everything we have. You are doing great.

“We will have no further comment at this time,” he concluded.

While the news came as a shock to fans, Bickmore – who was photographed with her children on Byron Bay beach just weeks ago – had hinted at her private struggles in a farewell letter to The Project’s hair and make-up team, after she left the show in November.

In a handwritten note to her glam squad, the mother of three thanked them for helping her get through some of the toughest times of her life.

“To my hair and makeup family. Shit, I’m already crying,” the letter began.

“You held my hand through some of the toughest days of my career. You hear everything, see everything and share everything with me and I cannot explain how much I will miss you all.

“There is an unspoken connection between us all and please never forget how special you all are. I know this isn’t goodbye, just goodbye for now. Love to you all, Carrie.”
