Among the messages of support, Lisa has reportedly received a message from someone who might have an idea about what she's going through - Dec Donnelly's ex-girlfriend, Clare Buckfield.

According to Mirror Online, Clare, who was close friends with Lisa during her 10-year relationship with Dec, was tagged in a tweet to Lisa by someone which read, 'Love you doll - you’ll be ok promise. Me and @Clarebuckfield will make sure of that,' and she then apparently added, 'Always' to it.

Clare and Lisa would have been close friends whilst Clare and Dec were dating, as she and Ant were also dating at the same time before they got married in 2006, and they regularly made public appearances as a four.

Actress Clare and Dec began dating in 1993, but broke up in 2003 with Dec saying that they had become "more like brother and sister."

Dec is now married to Ali Astall, who he met in 2004 but didn't get together with until 2014 - and they are now expecting their first baby, something Dec tweeted his excitement over on Father's Day.
