The couple decided to split amicably in May last year, and the comedian has said that his three daughters now spend time with him each week.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror, the 33-year-old said: "[Catherine and I] are good friends, we are fine. It works because she can get on with her work in the days she gets off and I do the same.
"It's been an interesting time since I was a single dad. You don't realise how much work your missus was putting in until you do it yourself. I was like, 'This is dead hard this'. I appreciated it."
He added: "I'm certainly a better ex-husband than I was a husband. I spent so many months putting work first, thinking I was planning for the future but forgetting about the right now.
"It was actually only once I became a single dad I realised just how much work went into this child-rearing business.
"I always thought I was working around the kids but I don't think I was. Now I am. So if half-term comes up or summer holidays I won't do anything for work. I didn't miss the big things – I saw their first steps and first words. But I think my priorities have changed now."
Manford and his wife, an actress, married in October 2007. In August 2009, they welcomed twin daughters. Their third daughter was born in December 2010. That same year, Manford left his job as co-presenter of 'The One Show' after he admitted to exchanging a number of sexually explicit messages with women online.
In May 2013, it was announced the couple had amicably decided to separate.
