Lisa Armstrong – Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife – is splurging her £31million divorce settlement money on an at-home gym and pool.
An outhouse and gazebo are also featured on the 45-year-old makeup artist’s list of house improvements.
Like many of us bringing in the new year, Lisa plans to totally move on with her life and 37-year-old boyfriend electrician James Green – and that includes making some drastic changes around the house.
According to a source, Lisa has already submitted the relevant paperwork to the local council to seek planning permission approval to renovate her mansion.
The Mirror reports this to be Ant’s ex-wife’s first big spend-up since she was awarded millions in court following her divorce from the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star.

An insider told the publication: “Lisa has well and truly moved on and is excitedly planning for the future.
“She looks amazing and is excited about the direction her life is heading in.
“It has been a really upsetting and obviously distressing few years – but Lisa has bounced back and is firmly looking forward.”
The Strictly Come Dancing makeup designer moved into her swanky new West London home in 2020 – two years after her marriage to the TV star broke down.

As part of the divorce settlement, Lisa was awarded their £5million marital home in Chiswick, West London – which she has now sold.
Ant has also moved on and since said “I do” to his former PA Anne-Marie Corbett.
The TV personality hailed his new-wife in an interview, calling her “his rock”.
He said: “Anne-Marie honestly is the fundamental reason for the great change in my life. She’s been my rock. She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy.”

Ant and Lisa were together for 23 years and married for 11 after they’d tied the knot back in 2006 – with his trusty side-kick Declan Donnelly taking the role of Best Man.
While things were tough for Lisa initially, the BBC make-up expert certainly seems to be taking life by the horns of recent – having overhauled her image and purchasing a stylish pad.
