BGT axe for Ant’s ex
LISA Armstrong has been dropped as a make-up artist for Britain’s Got More Talent after 10 years on the show – because it was “untenable” working with ex Ant McPartlin. Ant, 43, is set to return to work when Britain’s Got Talent starts filming next month, having taken a year off following his booze and prescription drug addiction and a drink-driving car crash in March. Lisa has been axed to ensure his return to TV “goes smoothly”, a show insider said.
The source added: “Although everyone is very fond of Lisa, it was clearly untenable to carry on working together.”
Friends of Lisa, 42, said she had been expecting to be dropped.
A pal added: “Lisa was officially told last week but knew it was coming for months.”
