Lisa Armstrong has splashed out on another house - as she builds an impressive property portfolio in the wake of her divorce from Ant McPartlin.
The make-up artist, who was said to have been awarded £31million in a settlement from the TV star, snapped up a four-bed house near Oxford last year for more than £700,000.
She already has the former family home, a £2.3million five-bedroom west London mansion, which she kept as part of the divorce. Lisa then bought a £3.8million house in west London in 2020, two years following her split from Ant after 11 years of marriage.
She is 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.
Lisa is fast becoming a savvy property developer. She completely renovated her 2020 house purchase installing a pool, a gym, outhouse and gazebo.
However she has less luck with the former marital home after it suffered a fire in September 2023, causing £1million worth of damage. Lisa had been renting the property to a family of six, it was reported at the time.
The Mirror told last year how she was looking to move on after a “topsyturvy few years to say the least.” "She is very much focused on the future and is in a really good place after what was a difficult period,” our source said.
Lisa and Ant announced they were to divorce in January 2018, two months before he crashed into two other cars while more than twice the drink-drive limit.
He later admitted drink-driving and was fined £86,000 and given a 20-month ban.
He went into rehab after the crash and took a 10-month break from TV presenting. The presenter went on to marry his former personal assistant, 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.
