Ant McPartlin's ex-wife Lisa Armstrong in a 'relationship' with actor
It has been claimed that Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist Lisa Armstrong - the ex-wife of TV presenter Ant McPartlin - is in a "relationship" with actor Grant Kilburn.
Ant McPartlin's ex-wife Lisa Armstrong is reportedly dating actor Grant Kilburn after the pair were introduced by Stacey Dooley and Kevin Clifton.
The Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist is said to have been "quietly" seeing Grant, 34, in "recent weeks" after Lisa, 49, went to see him, and pals Stacey, 38, and Kevin, 43, in 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Theatre Royal in Brighton in early October.
Sources claimed to MailOnline that Stacey and Kevin - who were partnered up and won the BBC Latin and Ballroom dance show in 2018 before they became a couple in early 2019 - introduced Lisa and Grant, and the pair immediately got on.
The insider said: "Lisa and Grant have really hit it off - and it's put the smile back on her face.
"Their relationship is in its early stages and, at the moment, they are keeping it low-key.
"Lisa went through a painful and very public split with Ant and she doesn't want to get hurt again, but she's not thinking about that right now.
"They are just enjoying spending time together. Grant lives in Kent but has been staying with Lisa when he can. They've both been very busy - Lisa with Strictly while Grant has been touring the country.
"At the moment, they are taking it one day at a time, but it's great to see her happy again."
Lisa and Ant, 50, met in the 1990s when she was in a band called Deuce, and performed alongside Ant as one half of PJ and Duncan with his best pal, Declan Donnelly, 50, on a Smash Hits tour in Newcastle in 1994.
Lisa and Ant were together for over 10 years before they got married at St. Nicholas Church in Taplow, Buckinghamshire, in July 2006.
In 2017, rumours swirled that the pair had split, which was confirmed by Ant's representative in 2018.
Ant was admitted to rehab for alcohol and prescription drug addiction in 2017, and they broke up in January 2018, before their divorce was finalised later that year.
Shortly after, Ant was linked to his and Lisa's personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett - whom he married in August 2021 at St. Michael's Church in Heckfield, Hampshire - and Lisa dated electrician partner James Green.
However, after three years, Lisa and James parted ways in 2020.
A source told MailOnline: "I don't really know what has gone wrong. The two of them were only on a swanky holiday together in the Caribbean or somewhere about eight weeks ago.
"He was with her one day, and he just wasn't with her the next day. There was no inkling that anything was wrong."
