The couple had a series of huge bust-ups over her partying and boozy lifestyle in the run-up to the collapse of their 14-month marriage.
Comedian Russell, 36, has beaten booze and drugs addictions and wanted to shun the Hollywood clubbing scene and start a family with the Firework singer.
But Katy, 27, didn’t want to become a “Hollywood housewife”.
A source close to the couple said Katy took off her wedding ring and handed it back to Russell after one last devastating row a week before Christmas.
The I Kissed A Girl star thought she had called her husband’s bluff and he would come running back.
But it was the final straw for Russell, who simply shrugged his shoulders and flew home to his mother Barbara.
The couple spent Christmas 7,000 miles apart - Katy in Hawaii, Russell in Cornwall - before he instructed his lawyers to start divorce proceedings on Friday.
Today we reveal how the rot set into their marriage SIX MONTHS ago and how close friends thought it would end in disaster even BEFORE their Hindu wedding ceremony at a wildlife resort in India in October 2010.
Insiders have also told us how the couple had marriage counselling to try to avoid a divorce while keeping up a public pretence that they were happy together.
Their lawyers were twice close to an agreement to put out a statement that they would be spending some time apart only for Katy and Russell to pull back from the brink.
But since the split the ding-dong behind -the-scenes battle between the two has been stepped up. It remains unclear whether the decision to end the marriage was mutual.
