He defended his new relationship with Lisa's former friend

Ant McPartlin has said he and his ex Lisa Armstrong “don’t speak” following their split.

The Britain’s Got Talent presenter opened up about their divorce, criticising the makeup artist for being “everywhere” on Twitter since their split.

Ant, 43, told The Sun On Sunday: “We don’t speak. We haven’t for a while. It’s still ongoing in terms of the legal situation. I purposely, throughout the whole of my divorce, have not said anything publicly. I’ve not been on social media or put any of my personal views out there. It’s not my style.”

Referring to Lisa’s occasional tweets, the Saturday Night Takeaway host added that Lisa can “live her life how she wants to live her life and say what she wants” but he prefers “to keep that private”.

After 24 years together, Ant and Lisa, 42, announced their split a year ago, with the host moving on with his PA, Anne-Marie Corbett – a former friend of Lisa’s.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, Lisa revealed her latest make-up job following her axe from Britain’s Got Talent.

The star was dropped from her long-term job as a makeup artist on the talent competition last month.

But Lisa revealed to her fans on Twitter on Thursday that she’s now working with cosmetics brand Avon.
