Lisa’s comments come after Ant spoke out about his ‘very tricky and emotional’ year.
The embattled 42-year-old TV presenter has been through a difficult 12 months after being rehabilitated for drug addiction following a painful knee injury and later splitting from his wife Lisa which he announced earlier this month.
He spoke to The Sun at Monday night’s NTAs after growing emotional on-stage when he and his best friend Ant dominated the annual awards ceremony, after sweeping the board with three gongs, including Best Presenter for the 17th year running.

Speaking to the publication, Ant, who has remained relatively silent on his woes, confessed to his struggles just days after his divorce announcement.
Earlier in the evening, on receiving the award, Ant broke down in tears as he made his way to the stage and insisted that the prize had ‘meant a lot’ following a ‘tough year’.
On-stage he said: ‘I’m emotional, very emotional. Because of the last 12 months what I’ve been through, winning this award is particularly emotional for me.’
He had sought treatment in a rehab centre for an addiction to painkillers, with his marriage breaking down in the months that followed his return home.

On Wednesday, Lisa thanked a fan for reaching out to her on Twitter, following Ant’s emotional display on Tuesday, as the fan suggested that the last 12 months have been as difficult for her as they have for the presenting star.
The exchange came as Lisa celebrated Strictly Come Dancing’s NTA win in the Talent Show category, which she works backstage on – the BBC hit had beaten Britain’s Got Talent, fronted by Ant and his presenting partner Declan Donnelly.
As many fans reached out to Ant on the social media site, one made sure to show Lisa their support as they penned: ‘@lisaAmakeup everyone is talking about Ant but just wanted to say you’ve had a tough year aswell & I hope you are ok. Congrats on your NTA. Much love x.’

Her tweet comes amid claims she is staying in a friend’s spare room, having left the marital home she had shared with Ant to ‘come to terms’ with their heartbreaking split.

A close friend claimed Lisa is a ‘strong independent woman’ but she ‘has told those closest to her she needs a fresh start.’ Lisa reportedly wanted her ‘own space’ to try and be as normal possible during the next phase in her relationship with Ant.
The source continued: ‘Lisa is a survivor and has been through a lot – and she has no intention of acting any differently now.

Lisa had been due to work as a make-up artist on the new series of the show, but determined to avoid difficult interactions with her husband in her work life, former pop singer Lisa has reportedly moved away from Britain’s Got Talent to prevent ‘awkward’ backstage encounters from happening.
She will allegedly work on the show’s spin-off Britain’s Got More Talent instead, where she will be less likely to run into Ant. Sources claimed Lisa, who is Stephen Mulhern’s beauty assistant, is keen to ‘continue as normal’ and wants to keep things ‘civilised’ with her husband of 11 years.
‘Lisa has worked on BGT for years and is keen to continue as normal. She has friends there and enjoys being part of the show,’ a source told The Sun.
‘She’s generally done Stephen’s make-up and helped other people but this year the plan is for her to work exclusively on the spin-off.’
