Lisa Armstrong puts on an animated display as she enjoys a night on the town with her girlfriends

Lisa Armstrong was spotted a night out on the town with her girlfriends on Friday amid claims she is set to pocket £31million in her divorce from estranged husband Ant McPartlin. 

The 43-year-old make-up artist looked animated as she chatted to her friends and smoked a cigarette while standing outside an Irish pub in Chiswick,  London.

Lisa cut a glamorous figure as she donned a beige teddy bear coat for her night out, as she busied her self on her mobile phone while standing outside the venue.

Adding to her chic look, she teamed her coat with black skinny jeans and tan ankle boots. 

Lisa appeared in a good mood as she chatted away to her pals during some downtime from her busy schedule.  

Her fun night out comes as her ex Ant is said to be preparing to handover £31m to Lisa in their divorce settlement, including their £5m former home in West London, after an ‘eight-hour negotiation’.

She was said to have been the ‘peacemaker’ during a recent eight-hour long discussion about her divorce from the TV star, reported The Sun.

Lisa is said to have moved talks forward from a date at the end of January to the second week of January so that a divorce deal could be made.

Speaking about the chat, a source said: ‘It was civil, nice and pleasant throughout and by the end of it all they can now move forward with their lives.

‘She was certainly the peacemaker but there was willingness on both sides to press ahead and move on. 

They added: ‘It’s a massive relief for Ant — and Dec — as it’s been hanging over both of them for such a long time.’

Ant’s representative declined to comment to Mailonline. Lisa’s representative has been approached for comment.

It comes after Ant allegedly agreed to give his ex Lisa more than half of his estimated £50 million fortune.

According to The Sun, the I’m A Celebrity host is ‘delighted’ the case has come to an end as he can ‘move on’, two years after announcing their split.

A source close to both sides told the paper: ‘Ant and Lisa agreed to settle and sign their divorce agreement during a productive and civil meeting on Tuesday.

‘Ant made a very generous settlement that works out to be more than half of everything that he has.

‘He is delighted because it means he can put what has been a very difficult chapter in his life behind him and move on.’

Meanwhile, it’s been reported that Lisa is reportedly selling the £6million house she has won in the former-couple’s divorce settlement. 

And according to a source, she is looking to shack up with a pair of girlfriends so she can ‘enjoy the single life’. 

She is allegedly selling both the house in Chiswick, West London, and a further property previously owned by the pair, so she can close her door firmly on the past.

The source told The Sun: ‘She and Ant lived in the house for years. It holds a lot of bad memories and now the divorce is being finalised she wants to start again somewhere new.

‘The last two years have been extremely lonely at times but she’s now looking to the future. And instead of sitting in a ginormous house all on her own she’s looking to enjoy the single life with two of her best friends.

‘It’ll be like when she first started out all those years ago. She’s excited for the next chapter in her life.’
