Despite her split from James Green and speculation that ex Ant McPartlin is set to become a dad, Lisa Armstrong is determined to make 2024 her best year yet
It’s no secret that she longed to have children when she was married to Ant McPartlin – but last week Lisa Armstrong had to face speculation that her ex and his wife, Anne-Marie Corbett, are about to welcome their first child together.
BETRAYAL
And after a turbulent few months in her personal life following her split from James Green, insiders say that it’s dredged up past hurt.
Our source says, “Lisa’s understandably upset about the rumours Anne-Marie could be pregnant. To learn that Anne-Marie may be expecting a baby with the man she tried to start a family with and loved for years has rocked her, as it would for anyone in her position.

He said in 2019, “She’s been my rock. She’s a beautiful soul. We’re very happy. I’m in the best place I’ve been in my life. It’s great.”
Meanwhile, Lisa found love again with electrician James after they reportedly met in a bar just before lockdown in 2020. They shared many smitten snaps from dates and holidays, with fans commenting on how “happiness looked good on her”. But in August last year, the pair went their separate ways, with James moving out of her London home.
It was alleged that Lisa had threatened to take him to court for £100,000, which she had lent him during their relationship, when he had reportedly become reluctant to pay her back. But in a post shared ahead of the new year,
