Six months after announcing that he'd split from his wife of 11 years, Lisa Armstrong, it appears that Ant McPartlin has found love again. The 42-year-old TV presenter, who recently re-entered rehab for addictions to alcohol, is apparently dating his PA, Anne-Marie Corbett.

Anne-Marie, who separated from her husband last October, has been seen with Ant since March this year after she accompanied him to the police station a day after his drink-driving crash in South London.

However, it now transpires that 42-year-old Anne-Marie struck up a friendship with Lisa, who has taken to Twitter to vent her feelings of betrayal.

Makeup artist Lisa, who was reportedly hoping to rekindle her relationship with Ant, has blasted her husband through a series of comments on the microblogging site, started off by a simple tweet of broken hearts.

Receiving support from celebrities such as Strictly Come Dancing's Oti Mabuse and Simon Thomas, who wrote, 'Grace through emojis. Love will find you again,' and WAG Nicola McLean, who commented, 'Sending my love Lisa!! Really feel for you worst pain ever,' Lisa has revealed that the relationship has come as a complete shock to her.

Retweeting messages of support from fans, Lisa has written, 'My Friend and OUR Pa who I let into OUR home, 💔' and 'Thanks babe and to think she was MY friend!', also revealing that Ant had not been in touch to share the news himself.

Lisa and mum-of-two Anne-Marie have been friends since at least 2014, when Lisa tweeted that she and Anne-Marie were watching I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! together, and again in 2016 when they celebrated Anne-Marie's birthday together, according to MailOnline.

A source told the publication, "Anne-Marie's put him back together again. Everyone's thrilled he's found someone to love.

"He's had a tough time of it, but Anne-Marie has put a smile back on his face again. She has been his rock. They have been living in each other's pockets, day in, day out," with another source adding that romance had blossomed "recently."

Ant and Lisa were married for 12 years, but were together for many years before their wedding in 2006. Ant announced their separation in January this year 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."

After Ant took a step back from the public eye following his second stint in rehab, his best friend and on-screen partner Dec Donnelly has been presenting on his own.

He's also expecting his first baby with wife Ali Astall, and posted an adorable tweet on Father's Day (17th June) which delighted his fans.
