The Scot, 46, thanked his wife – before also mentioning co-star Mary Elizabeth Winstead, with whom he got together when they began filming the show.

He said: “I want to take a moment to just say thank you to Eve, who always stood by me for 22 years. And my four children, I love you.”

He left Eve in June for rising star Mary, 33.

Eve, recuperating from a knee operation in LA, told The Sun On Sunday she had seen Ewan’s speech.
