Ant McPartlin and his estranged wife Lisa Armstrong are finally set to be divorced at the Central Family Court in London this Tuesday.
According to The Sun, the TV presenter and the makeup artist will be granted a ‘decree nisi’ on “unreasonable behaviour grounds”, after Ant reportedly admitted to adultery.
A source said, “It’s taken some time to iron things out but after several months their marriage will officially be over in a matter of seconds.”
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 is being 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.
