Fans of The Simpsons were in for a major shock today as it was announced that one of television's most famous couples is set to split.
Executive producer Al Jean confirmed today that Homer and Marge will go their separate ways at the beginning of the show's 27th season, with Homer falling for his pharmacist.
"In the premiere, it's discovered after all these years Homer has narcolepsy and it's an incredible strain on the marriage. Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham. We'll have cameos from the other women from Girls."
It's unknown whether the couple's split will mean a permanent end for the couple, with the news coming just days after it was revealed that Sideshow Bob will finally kill nemesis Bart in a Halloween special.
