Ant McPartlin and his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong were granted a divorce at the Central Family Court in London in less than 30 seconds on Tuesday morning.

According to The Sun, the TV presenter and the makeup artist were granted a ‘decree nisi’ on “unreasonable behaviour grounds”, after Ant reportedly admitted to adultery.

Central London Family Court documents indicated Judge Alun Jenkins held that “the respondent has committed adultery and that the petitioner finds it intolerable to live with the respondent.”

It’s also believed that the former couple are “negotiating a financial settlement”.

The pair, who were married for 11 years, announced their split in January following months of speculation after he had entered rehab in August, 2017.

Ant has since moved on with their former personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, and Lisa claims she didn’t know they were dating until she saw pictures of them in the newspaper.

Due to divorce laws, it’s believed Ant was forced to admit to adultery, as his relationship with Anne-Marie began while he was still technically married.

In August 2017, Ant entered rehab for his drink and prescription drug addiction, following a botched knee operation in 2015.

Then in April of this year, the TV presenter was arrested for drink-driving, and fined £86,000 for driving while more than twice the legal limit.

After another stint in rehab, Ant announced that he is stepping down from all his TV commitments and will not appear on the next series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

The 42-year-old will be replaced by fellow telly host and close friend Holly Willoughby, who will host the show alongside Declan Donnelly in November.
