Ant McPartlin is to divorce from Lisa Armstrong after their 11 year marriage has broken down. The decision was confirmed by a spokesperson for Ant last night.
The TV star from Newcastle, who is most famous for co-presenting “I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here”, tied the knot in 2006 and himself and Lisa have known each other for 23 years, but the couple’s relationship has been under severe strain since Ant entered rehab for drug addiction last summer.
It was Ant’s decision to end the marriage in order “to do the right thing for his health” after a series of emotional meetings with his wife. Ant, who moved out of their £1.6 million mansion last year and currently lives in a rented property, was said to be working out how they could best move forward. This move after Ant had checked out of Rehab to help tackle his addiction to painkillers.

However speculation has been growing for weeks that the couple were going seperate ways. Lisa didn't travel to Australia back in November when he was presenting the latest serie of “I'm Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here”. Lisa would normally travel down with Ant but opted not to go this time around.
