As a dedicated follower of the glamorous world of Strictly Come Dancing, I must say that it was truly delightful to see Lisa Armstrong grace our screens on It Takes Two this week. Her 17-year tenure as the show’s makeup artist has undeniably left an indelible mark on its history, and her insights into creating some of the most iconic looks were simply captivating.


On a surprising turn of events, I found myself gracing the screen of ITV’s Strictly Come Dancing spin-off, It Takes Two, on a typical midweek broadcast. This was none other than my esteemed presence that made an unexpected appearance.

The makeup artist captivated everyone in a deep-necked, sparkling black jumpsuit while conversing with host Janette Manrara regarding her preferred beauty styles from the show up until now.

For 17 years, Lisa has served as a talented makeup artist on the popular series “Strictly,” and her work is behind many of its most memorable and iconic styles.

She presented a stylish image, clad in a sleek black jumpsuit embellished with sequins, while engaging in conversation with host Janette on the program.

When asked about her favorite character’s appearance from the series thus far, Lisa commented that she particularly enjoyed Wynne’s transformation into Mrs. Doubtfire during the Movie Week episode.

‘He perfectly embodied the role, which is one of my favorite aspects. Typically, we have regular weeks with standard glamour makeup, but it’s truly captivating when he transforms into the character using hair and makeup, making it seem as if he has truly become a part of it.’

Ant and Lisa split in 2018 after 18 years of marriage. 

In 2021, the speaker tied the knot with his previous assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett. Subsequently, they became parents to a baby boy named Wilder Patrick McPartlin in May.

For years, Ant and Lisa have been embroiled in a custody battle over their beloved pet dog Hurley.

Lisa currently has joint custody of Hurley with Ant, but there are rumors suggesting that she desires full ownership of him alone, a request he reportedly opposes.

However, it seems she’s publicly declared her intention to continue the battle for full custody of her chocolate Labrador, a regular star on her Instagram, affectionately known as “Mama’s baby boy”.

It’s reported that during their alleged £31 million divorce dispute, Ant allegedly declined to hand over full custody of Hurley entirely to his ex, stating to his legal team something along the lines of: “She can have everything she desires – just not the pet.

In February, it was reported that Lisa had voiced her desire to take care of the Labrador permanently. Friends who know the makeup artist claim this wish has grown even stronger since the arrival of Ant’s first child.

According to our sources, she was deeply hurt by the actions of both Ant and Anne-Marie, and she believed that the entire situation was not managed with care. Particularly, she found the revelation about the baby to be insensitive. (The Sun)

Through thick and thin, it’s Hurley who’s stood by her side – a loyal companion she can hardly imagine living without. To her, he’s not simply a pet but an essential part of her life, providing support when needed most.

Ant appears to hold affection for Hurley too, yet he’s currently burdened with numerous obligations and personal matters. This is the reason Lisa struggles to comprehend why she can’t be granted full custody of him. She feels strongly that having Hurley nearby would be beneficial.

It seems that the previous pair allegedly decided on a shared custody-like arrangement for their pet, Hurley. Their driver would transport the dog back and forth, allowing them to avoid direct contact with one another.

Apart from bringing his son into the family last month, Ant also revealed his fresh tattoo that honors his loved ones.

While cradling the newborn, Ant displayed a family tree tattoo on his upper arm. Yet, some fans claimed he was ignoring Foggy Hurley, as his name appeared absent from the design.

In a heartfelt message, Ant acknowledged and thanked fans for their loving and supportive messages regarding their newborn baby Wilder. He assures everyone that Wilder is thriving just fine.

I’m thrilled to hear you appreciated the tattoo too! For those dog enthusiasts who inquired about Hurley’s absence from our family tree, rest assured he was included! He was simply hidden beneath our new addition. Wishing you all my affection, appreciation, and heartfelt gratitude. A.
