The former couple lived together in the swanky London property before their split in 2018.

Ant moved into the house with his then-wife but after their marriage ended the £5 million home went to Lisa who currently rents out the house.

London Fire Brigade said the fire broke out on Grove Park Gardens and a 32m ladder was deployed at the scene of the incident.

According to eyewitnesses, the fire started early in the morning near the back of the house.

The fire service was first called about the fire at 9.46am.

Crews from Chiswick, Hammersmith, Richmond and surrounding fire stations are at the scene.

The cause of the fire is not yet known.
