Advice needed filling out UK state pension form

My personal situation is, married in UK, divorced in UK, Never remarried.
The first question on part 2 of the form is Current marital status so I tick the Divorced box. The next question is Tell us about your Husband, wife. As I don't have one do I leave this blank or does it relate to my Ex wife. I will be sending in my marriage cert and Divorce cert as required at the end of part 2 of the form. Thanks in advance

Ummm it's possible to claim 'credits' from a divorced spouse, providing you haven't remarried.

You may be able to use the National Insurance contribution record of your ex-spouse or ex-civil partner to help increase your basic State Pension if you're divorced or if you have dissolved your civil partnership. This won't affect your ex-spouse or ex-partner's basic State Pension. If you remarry or form a new civil partnership before you reach State Pension age, you lose this right.
