Ant McPartlin and his wife, Lisa Armstrong have had a very tough year.

The TV presenter booked into rehab earlier this year after battling an addiction to prescription painkillers and spiralling into a depression.

But since Ant was released from the facility and returned to our screens to present I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!, there have been rumours that his relationship with Lisa is on the rocks.

According to reports, the couple have been taking some time apart and allegedly even decided not to spend Christmas together.

And after remaining completely private about the situation, Lisa has now addressed the rumours that the couple are calling it a day on Twitter.

Sharing a photo on the social media platform, she left the image un-captioned but fans quickly got the message.

According to The Sun on Sunday, the makeup artist has reportedly previously told friends that she feels "emotionally drained" and "weighed down" by everything that's happening.

A source also told The Sun: "Ant wants to announce [their divorce] in an official statement in the new year and both try to move on. But Lisa has not agreed to this yet.

“No one else is involved and they are still on friendly terms. But they are both devastated."

Adding fuel to the fire that things are over between Ant and Lisa, another source told The Sunday Mirror: “Ant has had a dreadful year, but Lisa has gone through hell too.

“The intense pressure of the situation left her emotionally drained and was really taking its toll. Back in October she was terribly stressed and worried and seemed to be carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.

“It was clear to those close to her she was brokenhearted. But it’s obvious she’s been so much happier since they’ve been living apart - especially when he flew to Australia to film I’m A Celebrity."
