The makeup artist is said to be hoping to reunite with her husband after their recent split

According to close friend Robin Windsor, the 41-year-old wife of troubled show host Ant McPartlin has not given up on their marriage.

In a statement to The Sun, he said: "I feel for her. She seems to take the brunt of it but she’s actually the loveliest person in the world. To be a top make-up artist she’s had to fight her way there."

He added; "Just like anything in life she will fight her way through. She’s a strong person. She’s got a strong support network around her."

It has also been revealed by close sources that Lisa has said that she thinks that Ant is lost without her and that it was all of the toxic people around him that turned him against her in the first place.

“She thinks the fact he’s now hit rock-bottom will push him back to her and that he wasn’t thinking straight when he filed for divorce.", says Robin.

The Daily Mirror revealed yesterday that Ant reportedly had 75mcg of alcohol per 100ml of breath - meaning he was over the limit by more than double - when he was involved in a traffic collision in London earlier this year.

Close pal and fellow co-host Declan Donnelly has been forced to present the remainder of the pair's ITV Saturday night show, Saturday Night Takeaway, along while Ant recovers - with the season finale airing last night.

While Dec didn't address the absence of his friend during the show, it is said that he had some kind words to say after the cameras had stopped rolling. Dec told the audience that he "missed" Ant before bidding them all an emotional farewell.

We really hope that Ant can get back to good health and eventually return to our screens!
