Ant McPartlin's ex-wife Lisa takes a subtle dig on his wedding day
Lisa Armstrong appeared to make a subtle dig at her ex-husband on Saturday, as he tied the knot for a second time with Anne-Marie Corbett in Hampshire.
The Strictly make-up artist, who split from Ant McPartlin in 2018 after 12 years of marriage, 'liked' a Tweet from a fan that read: 'Terrible weather in Hampshire today.'
Luckily for Ant, 45, and Anne-Marie, 43, the earlier wet weather gave way to sunshine.
Last-minute preparations were made to the outside of the church in the morning as rainy conditions threatened to put a dampener on the day.
Anne-Marie looked stunning in her gorgeous wedding gown as she arrived for the nuptials.
The bride was radiant in the floor-length dress that featured an off-the-shoulder design with lace detailing as she carried a beautiful bunch of white and purple roses.
Ant cut a dapper figure in a black suit and bow tie as he headed into the service alongside his fellow Geordie pal Declan Donnelly.
Lisa enjoyed a romantic staycation at Palé Hall in Snowdonia ahead of Ant and Anne-Marie's wedding this weekend.
While Ant was preparing to tie the knot in a sleepy Hampshire village, Lisa was living it up with her electrician boyfriend James Green at the idyllic hotel, where their room cost around £450 per night.
Lisa is now dating electrician James, sharing a loved-up picture of the couple on Valentine's Day this year.
The romance is Lisa's first since her £31 million divorce was finalised in April 2020.
She and James went public with their relationship last August, a few months after he separated from his wife Kirsty.
Ant was married to Lisa for 12 years. The pair, who were together for 23 years, confirmed their split in 2018, following Ant's stint in rehab the previous year where he sought treatment for painkiller addiction.
Following rehab, Ant took a year out from TV and he and Lisa parted ways, with their divorce being finalised in April 2020.
Last year, Saturday Night Takeaway host Ant was reported to have handed over £31 million to Lisa, including their £5million home in West London, after an 'eight-hour negotiation'.
Lisa, a make-up artist on BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing, is understood to have felt that Ant 'got away with a lot' following their split. She was also believed to be dismayed and deeply hurt that he moved on so quickly when he started a new relationship with Anne-Marie.
A source close to the couple said at the time: 'Ant has been very generous in terms of the financial settlement but Lisa is totally the opposite of someone who is motivated by money. She doesn't care about that – she earns her own. But she has been so hurt by all of this.'
Ant's engagement to Anne-Marie was announced on New Year's Eve after the presenter popped the question in a romantic Christmas Eve proposal. It's believed Ant designed Anne-Marie's £200k engagement ring himself.
After it was revealed that Ant and Anne-Marie had embarked in a romance following his split from Lisa in January 2018, the make-up artist took to Twitter in June that year to criticise their former PA of 'breaking girl code'.
Lisa revealed to her 138,000 followers that she invited Anne-Marie into their marital home and the woman had been both hers and Ant's personal assistant and at 5am in the morning she tweeted a broken heart emoji.
She then went on to reveal that she did not know about the romance and had only found out about the new relationship after reading about it in the media.
