WORKING ON THEMSELVES
Following Ant’s time in rehab – stemming from his addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs – Woman understands that Lisa has been coaching him though his new clean lifestyle with weekly phone calls.
It’s fair to say Lisa never wanted to split and the announcement was very one-sided on his part. Yet our well-placed source says, ‘After being so publicly humiliated many woman would’ve turned their backs on Ant but Lisa has been a rock to him. They speak on the phone all the time and, particularly when he’s having a weak moment, Ant knows Lisa is there to get him through.’
Woman understands it’s his wife’s continued support that’s made Ant realise he never should have let her go. But Lisa’s also had to end bad habits in order to keep Ant on the straight and narrow. ‘She’ll be the first to admit she loves a glass of wine after work,’ our insider adds. ‘But Lisa is doing her best to stay away from alcohol so as not to tempt Ant. She’s prepared to never drink again if it means saving her marriage.’
