Lisa Armstrong has reportedly added another property to her growing portfolio following her divorce from TV personality Ant McPartlin.

Last year, the Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist reportedly purchased a four-bedroom house near Oxford for over £700,000.

This adds to her existing properties which include a £2.3million five-bedroom mansion in west London, retained as part of her divorce settlement, and a £3.8million house in the same area bought in 2020, two years after her split from Ant.

Lisa seems to be quickly establishing herself as a shrewd property developer, having fully renovated her 2020 purchase to include a pool, gym, outhouse, and gazebo.

However, her former marital home, which she had been renting out to a family of six, suffered a fire in September 2023 causing £1million worth of damage, reports the Mirror.

The Mirror reported last year that Lisa was looking to move forward after what our source described as a “topsyturvy few years to say the least.”

They added: “She is very much focused on the future and is in a really good place after what was a difficult period,”.

Lisa and Ant announced their decision to divorce in January 2018, just two months before Ant was involved in a car accident while more than twice over the drink-drive limit.

Following the incident, he pleaded guilty to drink-driving and was slapped with a £86,000 fine and a 20-month driving ban.

Post-crash, he checked into rehab and took a 10-month hiatus from his TV presenting duties.

The presenter then tied the knot with his former personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett, in 2021 and the couple welcomed their first child together, a son named Wilder Patrick McPartlin, in May.

Meanwhile, Lisa moved on with Sky electrician James Green in 2020, but their relationship unexpectedly ended in August 2023.

A friend of the pair commented at the time that the split after three years was amicable and that they intended to remain friends.
