Lisa Armstrong debuts blonde makeover and hotpants after Ant McPartlin’s romance revealed

Lisa Armstrong debuted a blonde bombshell makeover in her first sighting since it was revealed her estranged husband is dating one of her friends.

The 41-year-old make-up artist – who was married to Ant McPartlin for 11 years – was pictured touching down at LAX Airport in California on Saturday, looking uber glamorous with her sleek new look.

It appears Lisa is heading on holiday following the revelation that Ant is now dating pretty blonde Ann-Marie, the couple’s former assistant and friend of Lisa’s.

Lisa did not look disheartened on the outing, however, instead dressing to impress in a pair of denim hotpants that showed off her tanned and toned pins. 

She teamed the garment with a pair of bejewelled sliders, finishing off the look with a plain black T-shirt and navy blazer.

However, it was her new sleek hairdo that caught the eye, as she debuted platinum blonde locks in a sharp bob cut that she swept back into a low ponytail.

Lisa’s holiday comes amid reports her parents moved into her Chiswick home, to support her during the difficult time. 

A close pal told The Mirror: ‘Lisa’s mum and dad have been with her all week. They’re supporting her so she has some normality.

‘This has really taken its toll on Lisa – it’s driving a very caring, loving girl to distraction.’

The concerned friend added that her parents fear she hasn’t been herself since news broke of Ant’s romance with their former PA.

They added: ‘She’s become numb to the torment of losing her marriage, and news about Anne-Marie has pushed her to the edge. She’s not herself; we’re all worried about her. This has flattened her.’

The recent reports come after she slammed her former pal Anne-Marie on Twitter, for ‘breaking girl code’ by romancing her estranged husband.

It later emerged that Lisa had ‘suspected months ago’ that their former PA was romantically involved with Ant, after seeing a picture of him carrying a packed lunch – seemingly given to him by Anne-Marie.

While the new relationship came to light on Saturday, a source told The Mirror that Lisa already had a sneaking suspicion: ‘It was a niggling feeling at the back of her mind.’

The snap, which was taken back in March, saw Ant emerging from his flat in London carrying some food in tupperware while Anne-Marie, 42, was then seen taking the rubbish out the same day – leading Lisa to believe there was something more to the two. 

Lisa allegedly contacted Anne-Marie’s estranged husband Scott Corbett, who she split with in 2017, to get to the bottom of the snaps.

It was continued to the publication: ‘When the news came out, it all clicked into place. She was heartbroken.’

MailOnline had contacted representatives for Ant for further comment at the time. 

Ant’s romance with Anne-Marie emerged on Saturday, five months after he filed for divorce from his wife of 11 years Lisa. 

Heartbroken by the news, the brunette immediately took to Twitter to criticise her ex-husband’s new girlfriend, and blast Ant for failing to have the ‘decency’ to tell her about their news.

Lisa revealed to her 122,000 followers that she often invited Anne-Marie into their marital home as a ‘friend’, despite her job as their personal assistant.

At 5am on Sunday morning she simply tweeted a broken heart emoji, signifying her upset, before going on to reveal she only found out about the relationship due to its coverage in the papers.

When a Twitter follower asked whether or not she had been warned by Ant before it appeared in the media, she replied: ‘Nope. Just how you guys did.’

She then received a tweet of support from TV personality Nicola McLean, before replying: ‘Thanks babe and to think she was MY friend!! xx’

Another follower said ‘so much for the girl code’, to which Lisa answered: ‘Exactly!’

Lisa then replied to a follower to say that Anne-Marie was her friend and personal assistant to both her and Ant, adding that she let her ‘into OUR home’.

Lisa has also reportedly fallen out with Declan Donnelly and his pregnant wife Ali Astall over Ant’s new romance.  

According to The Sun, the make-up artist feels she has been ‘isolated’ from their former friendship group, and that Dec and Ali have ‘sided with Ant’ throughout their marriage woes. 

The insider said: ‘After knowing each other for so long Lisa felt that everyone had become friends in their own right – but obviously after what has gone on the divided loyalties have become obvious.’

They continued: ‘She’s really put out that Dec and Ali have totally sided with Ant over all of this. Even though Ant and Dec have always been best mates, she thought they would still remain close even after the split. 

‘In the end that just hasn’t happened – Lisa feels she’s been isolated by their former friendship circle and is pretty angry and upset about it.’

MailOnline has contacted Lisa and Ant’s representatives for further comment.
