Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong has taken to Instagram to share a cheeky post in where she asks fans to ‘pray for her boyfriend’. Ant and Lisa tied the knot in 2006, after the I’m A Celebrity presenter popped the question while on holiday in Dubai in 2005. The couple were married for 12 years before announcing their divorce in 2018.
Ant then went on to marry his now wife, Anne-Marie Corbett in 2021. The couple then welcomed their first child together, son Wilder Patrick McPartlin, who was born on May 14, 2024. Lisa went on to date electrician James Green, however the couple called it quits in 2023. Now, it looks like the star, who is part of the senior team working on the BBC's troubled talent show Strictly Come Dancing - is on the hunt for love again, as she shared a picture to her Instagram story which read: “Please pray for my boyfriend. I think he’s struggling to find me,” alongside cry laughing and prayer hand emojis.

INSTAGRAM)Lisa and James started dating in 2020 when dad-of-two James was estranged from his wife and the pair swiftly moved from lockdown dates to jet-setting around the world . However, three years later the pair broke up, with the split reportedly coming "out of the blue".
A source told the Daily Mail at the time of the split: "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."

Taking to her Instagram story days before the New Year, the star shared a black and white video of two women taking a shot. Over the video were the words: "Cheers to the people who love us, the losers who lost us, and the lucky b******s who get to meet us.”
She earlier posted another inspirational quote to round off the year, which read: "You spent 2024 in survival mode. 2025 is your time to rise, rebuild, and thrive."
It comes after Lisa’s ex wife Ant welcomed his first child last Spring. Around the time of the birth, Lisa shared a number of cryptic messages on social media, including one that read: "Be proud of how you have been handling these past few months. The silent battles you've fought, the moments you've had to humble yourself, the times you've wiped your own tears. Celebrate your strength."
