I’m a celebrity’s ex ...get me out of here! Lisa jets off on break
ANT McPartlin’s wife flew off on holiday yesterday – days after it emerged he was dating their former personal assistant.
Lisa Armstrong, 41, was spotted at London’s Heathrow airport. It was the first public appearance after her 5am Twitter rant on Sunday against Anne-Marie Corbett, 42.
Her fury was prompted after reading of Ant’s new romance with the mother-of-two in a national newspaper.
Lisa accused Anne-Marie of breaking the “girl code” by getting close to the TV star through her job. She also revealed that she had counted Anne-Marie as a friend.
Revenge
Former glamour model Nicola McClean, who is close to Lisa, tweeted: “Sending my love Lisa!! Really feel for you worst pain ever x.”
Lisa replied: “And to think she was MY friend!!!” adding “Yeah My friend and OUR PA who I let into OUR home.”
She also “liked” a series of messages from fans telling her that Ant was a “scumbag” and had treated her “abysmally”.
One told Lisa, head of make-up for the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing: “Chin up and carry on being successful, no better revenge.”
Friends said Lisa has been under intolerable strain ever since Ant, 42, went into rehab last June for drink and drug problems. In January he announced he was seeking a divorce.
Lisa had Ant has been branded a “scumbag” suspected that there was a romance between him and Anne-Marie. This was confirmed a few weeks later when Ant was pictured carrying a packed lunch she believed Anne-Marie had made for him. Later the same day the PA was pictured putting out the rubbish at his London flat.
Ant and Anne-Marie grew close during his battle with drink and drugs, and she went with him to court in April when he admitted drink driving after a crash in Richmond, Southwest London. She was also snapped walking Ant’s dog Hurley with him in a park.
It was revealed this week that hours before the crash, Ant had a blazing row with Lisa on the phone over whose turn it was to look after the labrador.
Sources said there have been many rows over the pet, which they have agreed to share. A friend claimed Lisa’s father Derek took the phone from her and told Ant: “Don’t you dare speak to my daughter like that” during the angry exchange.
This is thought to be one of the last times Ant and Lisa have spoken to each other.
The dog was in Ant’s Mini along with Ant’s mother Christine Woodall when he crashed into two cars while more than twice the drink-drive limit. He was fined £86,000 – less than three day’s wages for him – and given a 20-month ban.
Anne-Marie split from husband Scott last October. Sources stressed Ant was not linked to the break-up.
