Has Lisa Armstrong found a new love? Ant McPartlin’s ex leaves London hotel with mystery man

She deserves all the happiness in the world following her painful split from Ant McPartlin following their 12-year marriage.

And could it be that make-up artist Lisa Armstrong has found a new love?

The blonde was pictured leaving a London hotel with a handsome man on Sunday, who seemed desperate to keep a low profile.

The 43-year-old walked out of the hotel a little after her male companion, just after midday, with her beloved dog Hurley by her side. 

While the status of this relationship is unknown, it’s fair to say that this man was quite the gent as he carried all her bags for her, including her Mickey Mouse suitcase. 

The couple soon jumped into the same car as one another but he shielded his face a little, in a bid to be discreet. 

Lisa was seen wheeling the same suitcase and carrying the same Louis Vuitton bag over the weekend at the Strictly Come Dancing wrap party – for which she is the head make-up artist.

Meanwhile, Lisa’s best friend Craig Robert Young recently vowed to help her find love again amid her ongoing divorce battle with ex Ant. 

Last month, the former Deuce star was reportedly hoping that Lisa would hit it off with one of his male pals according to Closer magazine. 

He is also believed to be encouraging her to use dating apps as he tries to get her to move on from her failed marriage.

Lisa has apparently agreed that ‘now is as good as time as any’ to begin her hunt for a new man after Ant moved on with his new partner Anne-Marie Corbett.

Lisa reportedly refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement preventing her discussing her 12 year marriage to Ant, as the pair’s £62 million divorce battle rages on. 

According to The Sun, I’m A Celebrity presenter Ant asked Lisa to sign a gagging order to protect his reputation, and will not agree a final financial settlement if this does not happen.

However, Lisa, who tied the knot with Ant in 2006, has allegedly vowed she ‘won’t be silenced’ and rejected the NDA. 

Ant’s solicitors are said to be sending regular legal letters to Lisa with his bill thought to have surpassed the £1.5 million mark.

The presenter’s solicitors are said to be determined to keep details of the divorce private and stop proceedings reaching court – where it is feared information about the pair’s relationship will be brought into the public domain.

A source told the website: ‘Lisa is an honest, loyal and decent human being. She isn’t interested in how much money she gets.

‘She won’t sign an NDA. As far as she’s concerned, he is welcome to his money.  

‘It’s not about that for her. She’s appalled at the way she has been treated ever since they split up, by people she loved, trusted and called friends.’

A source close to Ant is also said to have told the website that he has agreed to a second formal arbitration with Lisa.

They said he is not trying to pressure her to sign the NDA and that he will sign one too to stop the case going to court.’
