Ant McPartlin’s ex Lisa Armstrong enjoys night out with Strictly stars as pals say she’s ‘dreading’ Christmas
ANT McPartlin’s ex Lisa Armstrong headed out with her Strictly Come Dancing colleagues as pals revealed she is “dreading Christmas”.
The make-up artist let her hair down at the boozy wrap party after Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse scooped the Glitterball trophy last night.
Lisa, 43, was spotted arriving back to the village hotel looking very glam, dressed in leather trousers and high heeled boots, and a fur-trimmed coat.
She smiled as she carried a Louis Vuitton as she headed indoors and out of the cold.
But Lisa has been nursing heartache and is said to be feeling “lonely”, having lost her dad in May after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Her grief has added to her woes after The Sun revealed the toxicity behind the scenes of her £62m divorce battle with Ant.
What’s more, the make-up artist has had to come to terms with Ant moving on with their former PA, Anne-Marie Corbett, who is said to have moved in with him in his new mansion.
A source told heatworld: “Lisa has been dreading Christmas, as she’s had such a tough time this year
“She knows that Ant will be having the perfect family Christmas with Anne-Marie and her daughters in their new house. Lisa will be with her mum and it’s going to be very hard, as it’ll be the first Christmas without her dad. She’ll do her best to enjoy herself, but it’s going to be difficult – she can’t help but feel lonely and upset, there’s been a few tears.
“She and Ant used to love this time of year, and it will hurt knowing he’s enjoying it with someone else while she still hasn’t moved on to a new relationship.”
Britain’s Got Talent star Ant, 43, bought a seven-bed property a year ago and has turned it into their dream home.
A source said: “The property is perfect for them. It has everything they want and marks an important milestone in their relationship together.”
The gated property is set back from the road and shielded by trees. It has five reception rooms, a cinema room and large office space.
