Ant McPartlin has offered Lisa Armstrong the couple’s London home in a bid to settle their divorce “quickly and painlessly.”
It emerged last Sunday that the TV presenter has moved on with Anne-Marie Corbett, his personal assistant who had been a friend of Lisa’s, just six months after he filed for divorce.
Following the news of the new relationship, his estranged wife, who is still wearing her wedding ring, took to Twitter to vent her heartbreak and seek support from her followers.
According to The Sun the couple are only communicating through their lawyers and Ant wants the makeup artist to take their multi-million pound Chiswick mansion.
In return for the luxury home, he wanted her to sign the divorce papers.
A source close to the couple told The Sun said, “Ant wants this settled quickly and painlessly. He doesn’t want to fight and made it clear Lisa could have an extremely generous offer.”
“He even said he would sign over their house.”
The news of the new relationship complicated the process causing Lisa to become suspicious about when Ant’s new relationship began.
Understandably tensions are very strained between the couple who had been together for 24 years and married for 12.
A pal of Lisa’s told The Sun, “It takes very little now to spark a blazing row between them. That’s why it’s for the best they don’t speak directly. It’s the only way.
