Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong ‘splashes out on third home with £31m divorce payout’

Lisa Armstrong has reportedly bought a new house in Oxford as she builds an impressive property portfolio in the wake of her divorce from Ant McPartlin.

The makeup artist, 48, who was said to have been awarded £31 million in a settlement from the TV star, 49, snapped up a four-bed house near Oxford last year for more than £700,000, according to The Mirror.

She already has the former family home, a £2.3 million five-bedroom west London mansion, which she kept as part of the divorce.

Lisa then bought a £3.8 million house in West London in 2020, two years following her split from Ant after 11 years of marriage.

According to the publication, she is now expected to undertake extensive renovations of her latest purchase. 

It is not known if she is set to live there, but she grew up in Oxford and knows the area well.

MailOnline has contacted a representative of Lisa for comment.

Lisa is fast becoming a savvy property developer after completely renovating her 2020 house purchase, installing a pool, a gym, an outhouse and a gazebo.

However, she has had less luck with the former marital home after it suffered a fire in 2023, causing £1 million worth of damage.

Lisa had been renting the property to a family of six, it was reported at the time.

Lisa split from I’m A Celeb host Ant, 49, in 2018 after 18 years of marriage.

The presenter went on to marry his former personal ᴀssistant, Anne-Marie Corbett, in 2021, and the pair welcomed their first child together, son Wilder Patrick McPartlin, in May.

Lisa then went on to date Sky electrician James Green in 2020, but their split came ‘out of the blue’ in August 2023.

Speaking at the time a friend said that the end of their three-year relationship had been amicable and that the former couple would remain friends.

The source said: ‘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.’

Lisa started dating father-of-two James in 2020 when he was estranged from his wife Kirsty after moving out of their marital home in Hampshire.

He helped her find love again after her split in 2018 from her husband, Ant, famed for his double act with co-presenter Dec Donnelly.

Lisa, who married Ant in 2006, was reported in January 2020 to have received £31m as part of a divorce settlement with her famous Geordie ex-husband.

But she took to Twitter to dismiss the claims, posting a message saying: ‘Nope a load of nonsense AGAIN….’

The presenter went on to marry his former personal ᴀssistant, Anne-Marie Corbett, in 2021, and the pair welcomed their first child together, son Wilder Patrick McPartlin, in May (pictured 2021)

In January, she took their five-bedroom west London mansion off the market after it had been on the market for just under a year.

The property is no longer on Rightmove, with a message reading that it has been ‘removed by the agent’ rather than sold. The Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist slashed £250,000 off the asking price of the home she previously shared with Ant back in August 2024.

She placed the fire-ravaged place up for sale for £4 million in May 2024 but had to drop the price just three months later after it failed to excite buyers.

The divorced couple, who split in 2018, bought the property, which is on an exclusive street in Chiswick, for £2.3 million in 2006.
