Tamara Ecclestone has refused to be drawn on rumours that she has split from her husband Jay Rutland.

According to The Sun, the daughter of Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone has told friends and family that her marriage is over.

However, representatives for Tamara told the newspaper: "Tamara has no intention of discussing her marriage with the media at this time."

It is claimed that Tamara has started initial discussions with family lawyers.

Rutland was recently arrested and appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court in East London last week charged with assisting a cocaine trafficker who was on the run.

He did not enter a plea and will return to court on April 6.

Tamara and Jay got married in June 2013 after a whirlwind five-month romance.

They have one daughter, Sophia, who was born in March 2014, having previously spoken of her desire to have a baby girl.
