LISA Armstrong’s new fella has her giggling like a carefree teen again — months after her divorce from Ant McPartlin.
Newly blonde Lisa, 43, and James Green hugged and laughed at a park cafe.
The other male in her life, pet labrador Hurley, sat loyally at her side.
An onlooker said: “She and James both looked really happy, especially Lisa.
“They were very lovey-dovey — as you are in the early stages of romance.
“They were chatting intently, holding hands, and she was laughing a lot.
“They made no effort to disguise their feelings.”
Lisa met divorced James, 37, before lockdown.
The relationship blossomed despite restrictions and they are now able to date properly.
James, in a £500 jacket, held Hurley’s lead as they strolled amid the public in West London.
Make-up artist Lisa still shares custody of the dog with Ant, 44.
The TV super-couple had met as teens before Ant proposed on a Dubai holiday in 2005.
They wed in a £150,000 bash at Cliveden, Bucks, in 2006.
In 2017 I’m A Celebrity host Ant needed rehab for drink and prescription drug addiction.
Lisa stood by him but in January 2018 he announced he was ending the marriage.
After the split he started dating his former PA, Anne-Marie Corbett. They now live together.
Lisa was granted a decree nisi in October, with the marriage officially ended by April’s decree absolute.

LISA has always been a strong, independent woman. Her marriage to Ant never defined her.
Professionally, she is one of the most talented and in-demand make-up artists on TV.
And behind the scenes at the major shows where she works — including Strictly — it is impossible to find anyone with a bad word to say about her.
That’s no mean feat in the often catty backstage world. The phrase you hear most often about Lisa is “down to earth”.
So it’s no surprise that she looks loved-up with an ordinary bloke far removed from the world of showbusiness.
He even seems content to share Lisa with the most important male in her life, labrador Hurley.
It is great to see Lisa smiling again. She deserves to be happy.
