LISA Armstrong has spoken about her ex Ant McPartlin’s engagement to Anne-Marie Corbett for the first time.
The 44-year-old make-up expert rubbished talk that she was heartbroken, calling the claims a “load of old c**p”.
The Sun revealed at the start of the month that Ant and girlfriend Anne-Marie were getting engaged after he proposed on Christmas Day.
The news came three years after the popular Geordie, 45, split from Lisa, his wife of 11 years.
She reacted today after a fan pointed out two magazines had featured contradictory stories about her being “heartbroken” on their covers.
Lisa replied: “They do it all the time!!! #loadofoldcr*p!!”
One was headlined: “Lisa’s worst fears: Heartbreak as Ant finally announces wedding.” Another said: “The secret joy helping her get over Ant’s engagement.”
A fan told her: “Laughable really! Ridiculous they care so much! I’m sure you’re just getting on with your life :).”
Lisa reassured them that she was, calling the claims “made up rubbish”.
A source explained last week that news of Ant’s engagement didn’t come as a shock to Lisa – saying she had been expecting it for some time.
They told New: “She thought it would be the next step and she was actually surprised they hadn’t got engaged before now.”
The source added: “She thinks Ant is a different person. He’s not the same Ant that she knew and was in love with, it’s someone very different.”
Ant and Lisa split in October 2018 with the star striking up a relationship with personal assistant Anne-Marie, 43.
The pretty PA worked with Dec’s agent wife at the same London-based management company, before she started to work for Ant on a full-time basis.
The mum of two supported Ant as he battled a prescription drug problem following complications with knee surgery.
They officially began dating in April 2018, and Anne-Marie – who has two teenage daughters from a previous marriage – was said to be Ant’s “rock” as he went to rehab after being convicted of drink driving.
