Lisa Armstrong, ex-spouse of Ant McPartlin, reportedly invests in a third property following her £31 million divorce settlement
Title: Lisa Armstrong's New Property Venture in Oxford: An Update
Lisa Armstrong, the famed makeup artist and Fashion Director at The Daily Telegraph, has reportedly expanded her property portfolio following her divorce from TV star Ant McPartlin[1]. According to recent reports, she purchased a four-bedroom house near Oxford last year for over £700,000[2].
The 48-year-old, who was reportedly awarded a £31 million settlement from McPartlin, already owns the former family home, a £2.3 million five-bedroom west London mansion, which she retained as part of the divorce[2]. In 2020, she added another luxurious property to her collection, a £3.8 million house in West London[2].
Sources indicate that Lisa is planning extensive renovations on her latest purchase, but it's unclear whether she plans to reside there. Given her roots in Oxford, the area might hold a special significance for her[2].
Lisa and Ant, known for their double act on TV shows like I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, separated in 2018 after 18 years of marriage[2]. McPartlin later married his former personal assistant, Anne-Marie Corbett, in 2021, and they welcomed their first child, son Wilder Patrick McPartlin, in May of the same year[2].
Following her split with McPartlin, Lisa began dating Sky electrician James Green in 2020. However, their relationship ended abruptly in August 2023[2]. Despite the sudden parting, allies claimed that the end of their three-year relationship was amicable, and the ex-couple remain friends[2].
Before finding love with James, Lisa started dating him when he was estranged from his wife Kirsty after moving out of their marital home in Hampshire[2]. James helped Lisa move on from her divorce with Ant, who she married in 2006[2].
Initially reporting a £31 million settlement for Lisa, The Mirror later retracted its claims in January 2020, with Lisa dismissing the alleged figure on Twitter[4]. In January 2021, she took their five-bedroom west London mansion off the market, with the property no longer available on Rightmove[4]. The mansion, which suffered a fire causing £1 million worth of damage in 2023[2], had its asking price reduced by £250,000 in August 2024[4].
