Ant McPartlin and wife Lisa have announced their split – following a torrid year for the much-loved TV star. It was a conversation with wife Lisa Armstrong and TV partner Declan Donnelly (Dec) which got him on the road to recovery. “There’s a rumour that we do everything together and I’m holding off having kids till Dec finds himself Mrs Right,” McPartlin told Radio Times magazine. A statement issued by McPartlin’s representative said: “In response to the recent speculation in the media, Ant is very sad to announce that, after eleven 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.
