TV host Ant McPartlin's ex-wife Lisa Armstrong has found it difficult to watch their new life unfold so publicly since he married personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett.

The $10 million mansion move

After marrying in a lavish ceremony in Hampshire, attended by celebrities like Holly Willoughby and David Walliams, Ant and Anne-Marie moved from their previous home in Wimbledon to a £10 million mansion in Cobham, Surrey, following neighbor disputes.

According to the report, the couple's new life has been a whirlwind, with the arrival of their son Wilder two years ago fulfilling Ant's dream of fatherhood.

Friends and acquaintances have noted the swift change in Anne-Marie's appearance, from her hair color to her wardrobe, which now includes designer pieces like the black Rabanne dress she wore to the SoccerAid afterparty.

Her journey from a regular school-run mum to a celebrity spouse has been the subject of much gossip among parents at her daughetrs' school.

Who is the unnamed buyer?

According to the report, the betrayal felt by Lisa was compounded by the fact that Anne-Marie had been their employee.

After the divorce, Lisa reportedly received a substantial settlement, but the pain of seeing Ant move on with Anne-Marie has been exacerbated by their high-profile appearances.

The situation highlights the complexities of moving on from a long-term relationship, especially when the new partner was once a trusted insider.

Friends of Lisa say she finds it incredibly hard to see the couple constantly in the headlines, especially as she has struggled to find lasting love since the split.

What auditors flagged in the May filing

The report says that Lisa and Ant were together for 23 years, and during their marriage, Lisa was kind to Anne-Marie, buying gifts for her children and taking her on holiday.
