Lisa Armstrong spoke of her heartbreak on the anniversary of her dad's death.
The make up artist shared a series of snaps of her beloved dad added a touching caption.
She penned: "3 years have gone by and it still feels like yesterday but not one day passes without you being missed and loved….
Adding that Derek was her "hero", she added: "RIP Pops, love you so much…"
She was by her dad's side with her mum Linda when he passed away from cancer at the family home.
Lisa kept her personal life quiet as she went through her divorce with Ant McPartin.
Her dad is believed to have been diagnosed a year before his passing.
Since the split she has moved on with new boyfriend James Green.
The couple went public in 2020 and have gone from strength to strength - even hinting of a possible engagement.
A source told Closer magazine: "Their friends wouldn’t be surprised if there was an exciting announcement coming soon, and they suspect James may have proposed in LA during their romantic break.
Lisa has said she would love to get married on the beach in Malibu, as it’s one of her favourite places in the world.”
They continued: “She’s told James she would love for a beach wedding and he’s hinted at a holiday proposal, which of course makes her very happy and would bring her joy.
“LA holds a special place in her heart as it helped her heal and she truly believes it was a trip there that helped her to rebuild after her divorce and put her in the right headspace to fall in love again.”
Lisa and Ant confirmed their split in 2018, following a stint in rehab where he got help for alcohol and painkiller addiction.
He was reported to have handed over £31 million and their £5million house in West London to Lisa after eight hours of negotiating.
Lisa recently revealed that she and James got matching tattoos.
They both have the word 'amore' on their hands.
Speaking on Steph's Packed Lunch she said: "You need to have your own independence within the relationship, so you're able to go off, be with your mates, be with your boys and then come back and enjoy listening to each other's stories.
