It was revealed over the weekend that Ant McPartlin has moved on from his 11-year marriage to Lisa Armstrong with their PA, Anne-Marie Corbett. But makeup artist Lisa, who was with Ant for many years before their wedding in 2006, is not happy about the development - and took to Twitter to vent her frustrations.

After revealing in the rant that she had been friends with Anne-Marie, Lisa has reportedly now told her friends that she "suspected" they were dating "months ago."

According to the Mirror, a friend has said that it was a "niggling feeling at the back of Lisa’s mind," after seeing a photo of Ant in March carrying a lunch box, and another that showed Anne-Marie putting the rubbish out at Ant's home the same day.

They added that Lisa has now reached out to Anne-Marie's ex-husband Scott to "try and get answers" through social media, telling the publication, "When the news came out, it all clicked into place. She was heartbroken."

The Mirror also reports that Anne-Marie and Scott, who share two daughters, split in October last year - but sources told them that she did not have anything to do with the breakdown of Ant and Lisa's marriage.

Another friend of Lisa's also told the publication that the former spouses don't talk to each other any more, communicating solely through the solicitors "because every time they talk it becomes a blazing row."

They added, "She’s become numb to the torment of losing her marriage, and news about Anne-Marie has pushed her to the edge. She’s become numb to the torment of losing her marriage, and news about Anne-Marie has pushed her to the edge."

This comes after Dec Donnelly's ex-girlfriend of 10 years, Clare Buckfield, reached out to Lisa over Twitter to share her support.

Ant announced their separation in January in a statement to the Mirror which read, "In response to the recent speculation in the media, Ant is very sad to announce that, after 11 years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin.

"Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statements will be made."
