The wife of rock singer Marilyn Manson, Dita Von Teese, has filed for divorce after only a year of marriage.

According to the BBC Von Teese, real name Heather Sweet, filed the papers at the very end of last year.

The 35-year-old burlesque dancer cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split, thought to have occurred on Christmas Eve.

The couple began dating in 2001 and were married in 2005 in a ceremony in an Irish castle.

Von Teese is reportedly not claiming spousal support from Manson.
