News about Lisa Armstrong

A heartbroken Lisa Armstrong paid tribute to her dad earlier this week on the fifth anniversary of his death as her ex-husband Ant McPartlin welcomed his first child with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett.  Taking to Instagram, Lisa, 47, paid tribute to her dad Derek, also known as Degs, by posting a picture of his gravestone.  The moving words on her father's grave read: 'In loving memory of Dot Armstrong tragically taken on 26.6. 1992 and Derek John Armstrong sadly missed husband, Dad and Grampy forever in our hearts.'

The Saturday Night Takeaway star split from Lisa in 2018 after 11 years of marriage and went on to marry his former personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett, in 2021. This week Ant, 48, announced he and 46-year-old Anne-Marie had welcomed son WIlder Patrick McPartlin into the world - and the news is said to have shattered Lisa, who remains childless at 47 following her acrimonious divorce from the presenter. Since the split, Lisa has had one constant source of support by her side - loyal Labrador Hurley. She shares joint custody of the beloved canine with Ant but reports say she wants sole possession of him - something he is said to have resisted.

Friends of Ant McPartlin's first wife Lisa Armstrong revealed she only found out he was expecting a child with his second wife back in December when she saw pictures of Anne-Marie's burgeoning baby bump in the Daily Mail. And she only learned of the arrival of the longed-for son when the doting father posted a picture of himself cradling baby Wilder McPartlin in his arm on Tuesday. Even the coldest heart can see how that must have hurt Lisa, despite the couple divorcing around eight years ago. Especially as Ant had spoken of how he and Lisa - who spent 23 years together - had longed for a child and tried desperately for one without achieving the happy outcome they dreamed of. Ant will have known that, as Lisa is childless at 47, his happy news might have caused her pain.

Dear Bel, I am a hugely successful make-up artist, who divorced my equally successful husband slightly more than five years ago. We were married for 11 years, during which time I stuck loyally by my husband's side despite a few tricky incidents, including him pleading guilty to drink driving and going to rehab after a painkiller addiction. During our marriage, we tried to have children, but did not have any. Eventually, we separated and he started a relationship with his PA - who was once my friend - when we were still legally married. I divorced him on the grounds of adultery, and have been piecing my life back together ever since. Bel, my problem is his latest Instagram post, which has been like a dragger to my heart. I recently learned his PA was pregnant, and at first I didn't believe it - it was the baby I had longed to have. But now I have looked at the happy picture of my ex-husband cradling his new son. No doubt he feels his life is complete, but how can I move on now with my life, so aware of what I'm missing? LISA

Whenever the birthdays of her personal assistant's two daughters came round, Lisa Armstrong would buy them lavish presents. She'd do the same at Christmas, too. It was Lisa's way of thanking the girls' mother Anne-Marie Corbett for the work she did looking after her and her husband Ant McPartlin. She always took great pleasure in picking out the gifts for Poppy and Daisy who are two years apart and were at primary school at the time. 'Lisa would send Anne-Marie's girls Christmas and birthday presents every year,' says a close friend. 'She enjoyed doing it. She also showered Anne-Marie with presents and even took her on holiday. Lisa and Anne-Marie were really good friends, she was a trusted part of the set-up. How things have changed. For this is, of course, the very same Anne-Marie who in 2021 married Britain's Got Talent presenter Ant after his acrimonious divorce from Lisa. And who on Tuesday morning gave birth to Ant's first child - a boy named Wilder Patrick.

Ant McPartlin's adorable nickname for his wife Anne-Marie has been revealed, as the couple welcome their first child together. A never-before-seen tattoo on Ant's shoulder disclosed the sweet name. Fans were quick to pick up on the endearing detail in the comments as they congratulated the couple of the birth of their baby boy, Wilder Patrick McPartlin.

Lisa Armstrong (left, in 2023) quickly fled the country on Wednesday, after hearing ex-husband Ant McPartlin has become a dad for the first time (inset, with son). The makeup artist, 47, jetted off to Portugal to get away just 24 hours after Ant, 48, joyfully announced his wife Anne-Marie, 46, (right, together in 2021) had given birth to their first child Wilder Patrick. A source told MailOnline: 'Lisa has jetted off to Portugal to getaway, no doubt to escape the buzz around Ant's news.'

Had it been a film it would be a classic tale of triumph over adversity, of reversal of fortune and, ultimately, personal redemption. But the story is true, and as Ant McPartlin celebrates the birth of his first child he could be forgiven for viewing it as the happy ending he and his supporting cast of friends and family members craved. The Britain's Got Talent and Saturday Night Takeaway presenter confirmed wife Anne-Marie had given birth to their son, Wilder Patrick, on Tuesday afternoon.

Ant McPartlin appeared to snub his beloved pet dog Hurley in his new tattoo paying homage to his family, after revealing the ink for the first time following the birth of his first child on Tuesday. The Britain's Got Talent star, 48, shared a glimpse of the tattoo which features tributes to his wife Anne-Marie Corbett and his two stepchildren, along with their dogs Milo and Bumble. The tattoo could be seen on Ant's shoulder in an Instagram post where Ant revealed he'd welcomed a son named Wilder Patrick with wife Anne-Marie.

After so many years of longing to be a father, the Geordie television presenter yesterday announced the birth of his baby boy, Wilder Patrick McPartlin, at the age of 48. The star posted a picture of himself snuggling the newborn on the joint Instagram account he shares with sidekick Declan Donnelly, writing alongside it: 'Welcome to the family.' Little Wilder is described by friends as the 'perfect last piece of the jigsaw' after he married his former personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, three years ago. But those who know his ex-wife Lisa Armstrong say she will be 'deeply sad' to have to see her ex-husband share his happy news with the world. It is the baby she had longed to have with Mr McPartlin and friends say she feels 'very wronged' by him after she battled to save him from his demons for some years. The friends say she only found out about his new wife's pregnancy by reading about it in the Mail.

Ant McPartlin showed off a never-before-seen family tree tattoo as he revealed that he had welcomed his first child with his wife Anne-Marie on Tuesday.

Ant, 48, shared a Instagram snap sweetly cradling his baby boy, revealing he'd been born earlier that day on Tuesday, writing: 'Born, 14/05/24 at 8.54am. Baby is beautiful, Mummy's a legend, Sisters are over the moon. Dad's a mess!'

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, presenter Ant, 48, shared that his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, had given birth to a son called Wilder Patrick. But just before Ant's post, his ex wife Lisa took to her Instagram to share a  quote about going through 'silent battles'. 'Be proud of how you've been handling these last few months,' the post read. 'The silent battles you've fought, the moments you had to humble yourself, the times you've wiped your own tears. Celebrate your strength.' Ant has been candid in the past about his desire to have children and he publicly spoke about how he had been trying for a baby with ex-wife Lisa.

The TV-makeup artist, 47, has now decided to put the five-bedroom family home on the market after flames ripped through the property in September last year. Lisa rented the property to a family of six but it has remained empty since the fire.

They said: 'Lisa has long since moved on, but this is one of the last connections she has from her marriage to Ant'.

Lisa was left the property as part of her divorce deal and has been renting it out for about £10,000 a month since.

According to her friends, BBC presenter Paddy McGuinness has told his estranged wife Christine that she must sign a non-disclosure agreement as part of their divorce terms. Mr McGuinness denies that he made the request. But her friends insist it's true and that she will not give in. She also recruited the top advocate who defended Ant McPartlin's wife Lisa Armstrong. Despite giving his own interview to The Sun newspaper yesterday in which he talked in detail about how they cope with the separation, top Gear host McGuinness, 50, does not want the former model and mother to his three children to openly discuss their marriage or divorce.

The news broke just a few days after Christmas. Lisa Armstrong was able to half-convince herself that it was just another piece of gossip: after all, there had been plenty of gossip in the five years since she broke from her long husband, television host Ant McPartlin. Lisa, a make-up artist who worked with the struggling television golden boy for 23 years, shared the news on Mail Online, like millions of others. But it couldn't be true could it?Ant, her former soulmate who she'd fallen in love with when they were both teenagers, wouldn't be so cruel, would he?
