A Hollywood super-couple that made Cornwall go Brangelina balmy when they stayed in secret in Helston have set tongues ablaze once again over reports they are to divorce.

Cornwall went crazy trying to work out where Brad Pitt was staying when he filmed zombie blockbuster World War Z in 2011.

Eventually it was revealed they were holed up in the luxury Nansloe Manor Hotel in Helston, with then-girlfriend Angelina Jolie flying in by helicopter to visit.

Those heady days appear to be a thing of the past however, following the shock news emerging this afternoon that Angelina has allegedly filed for divorce.

It has been reported in American news titles that she is citing irreconcilable differences in papers filed yesterday, having put the separation date as only last Thursday.

Brad and Angelina began dating in 2004 after meeting on the set of the film Mr and Mrs Smith and were married in August 2014. She is asking for custody of their six children.
