LISA Armstrong is ignoring an alleged legal warning to stop liking social media attacks on ex Ant McPartlin’s new lover.

The Strictly make-up artist yesterday backed tweets urging her to speak freely about TV star Ant’s partner Anne-Marie Corbett.

DEFIANT Lisa Armstrong is ignoring a warning to stop social media attacks on the new lover of her ex Ant McPartlin.

Lawyers for Anne-Marie Corbett reportedly demanded she stops “liking” messages calling her a backstabbe­r.

But the Strictly make-up artist,

41, appears to be taking no notice of the plea.

Lisa put a heart symbol under tweets that called Anne-Marie a “cretin” and “husband stealer”. One post she liked said: “Just read that your being threatened legally not to like or

RT support.

“Ridiculous. If they’re not happy with a little bad mouthing they should have thought of that before betraying you.”

And another said: “Whether true or not, someone needs to tell the cretin that there’s no slander in the TRUTH. If she doesn’t like being called out then she shouldn’t steal husbands.”

One other read: “Surely @lisaAmakeu­p can like or retweet whatever the hell she likes?! Freedom of speech and all that!”

One supporter posted: “Remember that you will come out of all of this a stronger person and believe me, there is nothing better than independen­ce! Hugs.”

And a further said: “Still doing amazing things at work despite all the constant s*** around you. What an inspiring and incredible woman you are Lisa xx.”

One supporter wrote: “Never ever let anyone silence you.”

Last week, Ant and Lisa were granted a decree nisi in just 30 seconds at London’s Central Family Court.

She claimed the Geordie TV star,

42, had been “intolerabl­e to live with”, while he admitted adultery.

The decree nisi said their relationsh­ip had broken down “irretrieva­bly” when they separated in January. On the day of the court hearing, Lisa liked a tweet which said: “Hope all goes well for you today and you get the outcome you deserve.

“Keep that dignified silence and hold that beautiful head up high. Sending hugs. Stay strong!”

The couple now face a six-week arbitratio­n period before their divorce is finalised.

Experts say she can expect a “sizeable sum” from Ant’s £62million fortune. Meanwhile, Simon Cowell has branded Ant “grumpy” in a frank interview about working with him on Britain’s Got Talent.

He said: “I don’t think any of us saw any signs of his cracking up.

“I knew he was a bit grumpy but then he’s always been a bit grumpy.

“When I spoke to him about it, he didn’t make any excuses.”

Simon added: “We’re living in a time now when people do get depressed or crack up, and it was harder for him because it was in public.

“But the word I use probably more than anything else now is ‘context’, because we look at things or ourselves in such a way that is so out of context.

“When things go wrong now, I always say: ‘Hang on a minute, it’s not the end of the world, we can sort this out’, and sometimes you’ve just got to do that.”

X FACTOR judge Simon has admitted he never once changed his four-year-old son Eric’s nappy when he was a baby.

Instead he watched cartoons with him. Asked if he ever changed Eric’s nappy, he admitted: “No. All I’ve ever done is the fun things with him. We talk a lot, he’s like my best friend.”

Meanwhile, Armstrong Martins and Olatunji Yearwood were voted off The X Factor in a shock double eliminatio­n last night.
