Ant McPartlin’s divorce from Lisa Armstrong has been finalised, over two years after they split in January 2018.
According to The Sun, the TV presenter was granted a decree absolute this week, formally ending his 12-year marriage.
A source said: “It’s been an extremely difficult road with a lot of heartache and unpleasantness, but it’s finally done. It’s over.”
Since splitting from Lisa, Ant has been dating the couple’s former PA, Anne-Marie Corbett.
The source continued: “Ant’s been desperate to start the next chapter of his life and at least now he and Anne-Marie can plan for the future. It won’t be long before they are married.”
It was previously reported that Lisa would get £31 million in their divorce settlement, however, the makeup artist denied those reports back in January.
Responding to the report on Twitter, Lisa insisted: “Nope a load of nonsense AGAIN….”

Ant and Lisa tied the knot back in 2006, but split for good in January 2018 – five months after Ant sought treatment for his addiction to painkillers and alcohol.
Their union legally came to an end during a 30-second hearing in October 2018, and Ant had to technically admit adultery with Anne-Marie – as they started dating while he and Lisa were still married.
