Lisa Armstrong ditches wedding ring in first TV appearance since Ant McPartlin divorce

Lisa Armstrong was seen without her wedding ring hours after she was granted a quickie divorce from Ant McPartlin.

The estranged couple split in January, with Armstrong continuing to wear the wedding band.

But she flashed a bare hand as she gave a masterclass in creating a glam punk look in a pre-recorded segment on Tuesday night’s show.

Armstrong broke her silence in the wake of their divorce, hinting that she was ready to start afresh after ‘liking’ a string of supportive tweets from fans earlier in the day.

One read: “Get ready to pull up your big girls pants tomorrow lovely lady cos it’s your turn to start afresh. #Thisisyourturn#.”

Another fan posted: “Just a message to let @lisaAmakeup know she is a strong bad-ass woman who I know will come out on top of this s*** storm she’s been going through. Mad respect for her!”

The makeup artist blamed her split from the TV star on “adultery” and him being “intolerable” to live with, according to court papers.

Armstrong and McPartlin married in 2006, but rumours of trouble in their relationship began to surface last year before they announced their split in January.

A representative for McPartlin said at the time: “Ant is very sad to announce that, after eleven years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin.”

He went on to date his PA Anne Marie Corbett who Armstrong blasted on Twitter, telling fans Corbett was “my Friend and OUR Pa who I let into OUR home”.

McPartlin and Corbett were said to have grown close while he was recovering from addiction.

McPartlin is currently on a lengthy break from television commitments with Holly Willoughby confirmed to replace him on I’m A Celebrity later this year and Saturday Night Takeaway, which he co-hosts with Declan Donnelly, shelved until 2020.

Their divorce will be finalised six weeks from today’s hearing.
