Lisa Armstrong has shared an emotional message on Instagram following her difficult divorce from ex-husband Ant McPartlin.
Lisa, 45 shared with fans that she is “healing the best way she knows how”, quoting a letter from poet Stephanie Bennett-Henry about her strength and endurance through hard times.
Lisa and Ant officially divorced in 2020, two years after announcing their separation after 12 years of marriage.
The emotional post read: “If you see the girl I used to be, please thank her for me. We went through some heavy sh*t together and she never left my side.
“If you see her, tell her she saved me. Tell her, when I fell, she broke my fall, and I am standing again, whole again, healing the best way I know how. Tell her she taught me everything I know.”

The post continued: “Tell her, I will never forget her. If you see the girl I used to be, please let her know, I would not have made it without her, tell her she does not have to carry me anymore.
“Tell her I owe her and I’m going to make her so proud.” She then named the author of the quote, Stephanie Bennett-Henry
Fans rushed to the comments section to support the make-up artist.

Lisa was granted a divorce from Ant after accusations of adultery and because he was “intolerable to live with”.
They confirmed their split in January 2018 after months of speculation; they had been together for 23 years and married in 2006.
Ant’s statement read at the time: “Ant is very sad to announce, that after 11 years, he is ending his marriage to Lisa McPartlin. Ant asks for privacy at this difficult time, for both himself, Lisa and their immediate families. No further statement will be made.”

Ant has since found love with his former personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, and wed her in a lavish ceremony last year.
The wedding, held at a rural church in Hampshire, saw the bride and groom surrounded by a string of celebrity guests including TV sidekick Declan Donnelly, Phillip Schofield, David Walliams and Dermot O’Leary.
