I don't blame her, I said she was an enabler. You can be sure if my partner had substance issues I would become teetotal with them.

You sound really invested in Lisa. Is that you?
Sorry to disappoint but I'm not Lisa, just someone who is tired of women being blamed for men's wrongdoings. Have a nice evening.

I dunno I think liking a few tweets exposing Ant for the asshole makes her more likeable not “passive aggressive”. It’s probably the only way she can regain some control as she is not able to speak her truth. She is clearly being bullied by ITV for her silence. She is having to endure seeing “arranged wholesome photos” of her husband in the press with his new squeeze whilst she is papped wherever she goes.
I have nothing but sympathy for her. Let’s not tear down the woman in this senario I think Ant deserves a hell of a lot more criticism for the way he behaved but as a “national treasure” he gets away with it
Agree. Let her like some tweets. He’s flaunting his new missus all over the papers, don’t remember him being papped all the time with Lisa? Whilst the press go out of their way to film her with a pizza or fag in her hand.
The papers have been vile towards her and tried to portray ant is so much better off without her. We don’t know what she had to deal with he’s just got a bigger pr machine whilst she seems to just want to continue her job she loves

his new missus isn’t all that anyway. Relationship of convenience

I'm not talking about him admitting it publicly. His family knew what was going on
Exactly his family knew what was going on, in fact his mother was a passenger in the car he ploughed into another vehicle with a family in. His mother was okay with her son drink driving, on the video clip in the papers at the time he was barely able to stand he was that pissed, yet he mother was fine to be in that car with him driving. Fall down drunk at ten o'clock on a Sunday morning. I'm so tired of people trying to blame Lisa for what he did, "oh, she drinks too, didn't support him" when the reality is he was the big money earner so his family and friends won't challenge him, surrounded by yes men, he cheated on her repeatedly and then when he was caught out he sets the press on her, she was blamed for him being a drunk, she was blamed in many comment sections for not "giving" him a kid, still now they are divorced and he is engaged to someone else and still Lisa is being blamed. It's nonsense, she appears to be a hardworking, low profile woman who has never sought out the press the way other wives of celebrities often do, yet still his pr agency have thrown her to the wolves to save his hide. If his life is so much better now away from the bad influence of Lisa why doesn't he just go off and live it, be happy, be content, stop having a face like a slapped arse.

I think Lisa is moving on, she just has the occasional poke! I think James Grant or whatever they are called nowadays, were behind all the veiled attacks on Lisa, showing the worse photographs, and as @Gym&Tonic says, to deflect attention away from one half of their biggest cash cow, Ant. She is well out of it.

I somehow don’t think Ant has seen the back of his addictions. Then who will get the blame. His latest Mrs? I bet Anne Marie has made sure their assistant is male or a retired woman! Don’t want him to find another sympathetic shoulder to cry on.

Is it certain that she's signed one now? Would have loved to have read a book by her!! I think he's arrogant and has treated her horribly.

Used to think Ant was one of the good guys but when he tried to take the dog from Lisa after HE was the one caught drunk driving and nearly killed an innocent family, that was his true colours coming out. As well as the way he has flaunted his new relationship...very much rubbing Lisa's nose in it at every oppertunity.

She may well not be whiter than white (who is?) but Ant has behaved appallingly and it horrifies me that anyone would still defend/champion him.

You dont need to be Lisa to dislike seeing someone being publicly gaslighted and bullied on an industrial scale.

What I don't get is why he wasn't finished on ITV after that crash which he definitely did and Michael Barrymore who had nothing to do with that pool death was totally finished. Michael Barrymore was 1000X more talented than Ant. Theres one rule for one and one for another it seems.
Ant has had serious drug/alcohol problems for years never mind all that dressing it up to be down to a bad knee etc. he could have easily killed or seriously hurt that family in the car it wasn't that minor the car was a right off. I think Lisa deserves every penny shes got off him and more besides, he will have been terrible to live with.Shes miles better off on her own. When he relapses again I think that will be the end of him and he will do.
Michael Barrymore had a dead body floating in the pool at his house. He also left the scene of a crime. Don’t try and compare the two.

There is something about Ant’s new relationship that feels so false; like he is trying too hard to prove a point. Especially with the repeated bitterness against Lisa. The Dan Wootten article was the pits.
Lisa knows where the bodies are buried and that’s why And and Dec’s management in cahoots with ITV and the press have spent so much time smearing her name. It’s absolutely disgusting behaviour, but I’d expect little else from them. This is the same agency that crisis managed the Schofield bullying allegations by having him suddenly come out as gay at pushing 60. Vile organisation who’s monopoly in the entertainment world needs stopping.

No he didn't have to do anything because as I said none of us know what really went on behind those doors, not you, me or anyone else.
And actually if I remember rightly the press going after her all started because she was liking and retreating negative stuff about him on Twitter.
Does that make it right, no but we all know how shallow and malicious the press can be in this country, especially towards women.

And no he doesn't owe Lisa any explanations about his wedding date, they are nothing to do with each other now.
However we don't know that he didn't tell her he was getting married but as they move in similar circles I'm sure she knew anyway.
She didn't know they were seeing each other until she saw it in the papers (and the divorce hadn't gone through then) so its hardly a stretch to assume she had to find out the actual date from the papers the same way.
Let's also not forget Lisa dealt with her husband going off with her friend/employee, the papers blaming everything on her, her looks being dragged, the loss of many of her friends, a divorce in which he fought for the dog, which was a birthday present he gave to Lisa (only to buy two new dogs once he won) and on top of that her Dad fighting cancer.
Imo he showed himself up with his behaviour as the saying goes integrity costs nothing, a statement calling off the press and making sure she heard about things privately would have made him appear a nice person, instead of someone who appeared to be doing his damdest to rub Lisa's nose in it at every opportunity, in fact rather like the person James Grant would have us believe he is.
When he made the statement that he'd put Lisa through hell he got respect from me, not informing her he was with her friend/ex employee before it went to the papers is not deserving of any respect.

I remember it coming out that Dec had slept with a lapdancer. I Googled it to check I wasn't imagining it and came up with this article. It mentions his now wife Ali Astall a lot and this was published back in 2003? I didn't realise they'd been together that long? Unless they really were just colleagues and things happened more recently
It’s funny when lifelong bachelors approaching 40 (or over 40, sometimes) end up marrying someone from their management team that they’ve known for years and years 👀

Same with Paul McKenna. There’s an interview somewhere where he talks about putting a spreadsheet together about what he wanted in a woman and boom! realising that his PA possessed all those qualities. It’s the weirdest and least romantic tale ever.

Very lavender.

I absolutely DETEST Ant’s ex-wife 🤮

The thing is we all now know Ant is a druggie and was probably a real shit to be with the last few years but she would just not let it go.
The state of that woman, I thought to myself no wonder he wants a divorce.
She's been with Ant since she was about 16 so it's a long time to be with someone then they shit all over you! They also struggled with fertility which puts a big strain on couples. She used to look nice back in the day but she's definitely let herself go since he left her but then none of us know what really went on behind closed doors, so i don't blame her if she wants to eventually tell her side of the story seeing as Ant continues to try and shut her up with more and more money!

Is he offering half his fortune or is she demanding though?

As loved up as they seem to be I feel sorry for her ex can't be easy having your kids call another man Dad.
View attachment 702563
That's wrong on so many levels and I feel yet another dig at Lisa. I know she is laughing all the way to the bank but still, must be hard to read that statement given her fertility issues.

Those girls were both over the age of 10 when he became involved with their mother. They have a father in their lives. That mice faced woman allow the girls to call Ant "dad" and the fool is happy to discuss it in public, as if their other parent was a mere sperm donor. #Pathetic *

Even if the father wasn't in the picture they should always be made aware of the situation and know they have/had a father. If the man made conscious decision to walk away or was deceased whatever and the girls have never met the man ok, maybe call Ant "dad" but that's not the case here.

Sorry folks, rant over! These fake families set ups are one of my biggest pet peeves!

Maybe they might want to practice ‘being kind’ to Lisa? You know, the loyal wife and childhood friend who they’ve been pushing to a mental breakdown for the past few years.

Diagnosing someone from some Bad pap shots that usually show her after a long days work or with some cigerettes in her hand. At deliberately bad angles...
I think the paps take zillions of photos of the poor woman, and deliberately choose the ones where she looks dishevelled, overweight, confused and possibly drunk. Take several photos of me on an average day, and I, too, look dishevelled, overweight, confused and possibly drunk. Look at my Instagram with my carefully posed, heavily filtered, edited to fuck photos and you will see a completely different woman :D Which is the real me?

A good friend told me a story about how she met Ant. She was 18/19 at the time so 2008/09 Her family are extremely well off and own a v.luxurious property in Spain and she was at a restaurant local to her parents house in Spain, at the restaurant her family basically fell in with Ant and a few others who were eating at the same place (money always attracts money). Her dad invited them all back for drinks at his house. I can’t remember if she said Ants wife was there or not but he asked my friend if she’d show him around the house (as in fairness it is impressive) he was v.drunk at this point. When they were upstairs he tried it on with her, she told me this in 2013 so memories a little foggy. I think she said he tried to kiss her and at one point had his hand somewhere not welcomed. She claimed she shut him down and that was it. My friend has no reason to make this up as she’s now fairly well up the ladder as an editor in London. I also did see pictures of Ant with them on the night in question.

I always thought of the story when I seen him on TV pre divorce and drug problems and thought to myself he’s no where near as clean cut as he’s lead us to believe!

I think Anne Marie is a vile slag to be honest. Ant is no better. Ps I'm not Lisa.

No way should them teen kids be calling another man dad and no way should she be allowing it.

I still find it appalling that Lisa had to lose her job at BGT to keep Ant happy. ITV seem like such a toxic, incesteous company to work for.
