Lisa Armstrong looks happier than ever four years on from her divorce from Ant McPartlin.
It's not been an easy journey - the make up artist initially appeared heartbroken when she and Ant split and he married his former PA, Anne-Marie Corbett.
Lisa was married to 46-year-old Ant from 2006 until 2018 – with Ant brutally dumping his loyal wife after putting her "through hell" while suffering from addiction issues.
In the intervening years, Lisa has hinted she has not forgiven Ant for his actions – not least that he sparked up a romance with his Anne-Marie, who she referred to as being her "friend" before she began dating Ant.
Lisa reportedly liked a scathing tweet from a fan who joked about the rain last year as Ant and Anne-Marie prepared to tie the knot, and also liked and posted a string of messages about their relationship.

She liked a tweet calling Ant "s****y and spineless" after she was awarded a huge payout when their divorce was finalised.
Reports in 2018 said Lisa had been blindsided by Ant and Anne-Marie’s then-fledgling romance as she learned of it at the same time as the public as it made headlines, and without her ex-husband giving her any warning.
Anne-Marie had worked as Ant’s PA since 2012 and grown close to Lisa as well over the course of six years.
Lisa lashed out at her love rival in a series of tweets where she ranted "to think she was MY friend" and said she was in "the worst pain ever" following the news that Ant had moved on.
But all that is now behind Lisa, who has since found love and focused her energy on herself and on renovating her home after pocketing a reported £31million payout in the divorce.
New man
Back in 2020, Lisa met electrician James Green, who is also divorced, and they fell in love in and out of lockdowns.
James is six years younger than Lisa and the pair have largely opted to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, but adorable photos have showed them cuddled up together and at a pal's wedding.
Crucially, James looks to get along well with the other very important male in Lisa's life - her labrador Hurley.
After they were spotted on a dog walk together, an onlooker told The Sun: "She and James both looked really happy, especially Lisa.
"They were very lovey-dovey — as you are in the early stages of romance. They were chatting intently, holding hands, and she was laughing a lot.
"They made no effort to disguise their feelings."
Lisa went public with her new relationship last Valentine's Day when she shared some smiley selfies with James, which she captioned: "HVD."
Her delighted fans flocked to congratulate her, pointing out that she "deserves the best".
One tweeted: "Yes Lisa! He is fit! So chuffed for you, get in!!!"
Lisa re-shared the message with her 142,000 followers and added three smiley face emojis.
She also liked another tweet from a fan that told her: "You f***ing Queen."
Last summer, the love birds headed off on a relaxing staycation together, with Lisa looking peaceful and content as she posed for a selfie with James.
The Strictly Come Dancing chief make-up designer appeared in high spirits and captioned the heartwarming moment with the words: "Perfect few days…. @sohohouse #onthefarm," along with a string of pink heart emojis.
Home renovations
Lisa is planning an extensive refurbishment to the home she shares with her new beau.
She is planning to add a pool, gym, outhouse and gazebo to the £3.8million West London mansion she purchased in 2020.
The star has submitted papers to the council in a planning application for the overhaul as part of her first big spend since the divorce settlement.
Lisa has already posted photos which show a plush living room featuring a velvet green sofa, stunning art and a swanky open-plan kitchen with a huge white island.
The property also boasts a 226ft terraced garden.
A source has said that Lisa has big plans and a bright future ahead of her as she moves on with James.
"Lisa is well and truly moved on and is excitedly planning for the future. She looks amazing and is excited about the direction her life is heading," said the insider.
"It’s been a really upsetting and obviously distressing few years but Lisa has bounced back and is firmly looking forward."
Pamper sessions
Putting self-care first, Lisa recently showed her fans that she was treating herself to a pamper session at home.
Lisa appeared make-up free and relaxed as she smiled back at the camera, explaining she was enjoying a long soak in the bath and conditioning her hair.
She also wore under eye masks as she indulged in some me-time on the night Ant launched his new game show Limitless with Dec Donnelly.
"Saturday Night Chilled vibes!!!" she wrote alongside the selfies.
Other photos last month showed Lisa beaming as she walked around Leeds Dock, showing off her svelte new figure after finishing work on Steph's Packed Lunch.
