Ant McPartlin's split from his now-estranged wife Lisa Armstrong hasn't exactly been the easiest of rides

Not only has Ant's wife of 11 years Lisa been complaining of paparazzi photographers lurking outside her house, but Ant's new relationship with their former shared PA, Anne-Marie Corbett, didn't exactly go down well with Strictly Come Dancing makeup artist Lisa.

Plus there's the fact that Ant caused a three-car pile-up in South London earlier this year, pleading guilty to drink driving and heading back to rehab to confront his addictions once again.

So all in all, it's been a pretty dramatic year for the ex-couple.

Despite the rumours that Lisa was hoping that she and Ant could work things out, there have been reports today that she's now met with one of the UK's most expensive divorce lawyers, Ayesha Vardag, to start proceedings over Ant's reported £62 million fortune.

A source told The Sun: "Lisa has repeatedly met with Ayesha Vardag — nicknamed the Diva of Divorce. She charges £845 an hour and is one of the toughest divorce lawyers in the world. Lisa doesn’t need to be hasty."

However, Lisa has now addressed the rumours head on, taking to Twitter in a frustrated post about the reports.

Sharing a screenshot of a news report by The Sun, Lisa wrote: "Again another LIE!! Thank-you Laura and Natalie for talking/spreading nonsense about me!! #nevermetthiswomen #ifshehitmeonthehead #anotherapologycomingmyway?"

Fans commented in support of Lisa, with one writing: "How the heck are you being turned into a bad guy in all this? For one, it’s none of our business, for two, we adore you and your work," with another adding: "Hold your head up high, you’re doing the right thing by not talking to the press. You’ve been treated badly but just concentrate on you, your family and Hurley your gorgeous lab."

This comes after Ant released a statement confirming that he would not be returning to work this year, ruling out his usual presenting gig on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and also revealing that Saturday Night Takeaway would be cancelled next year.
