Lisa’s show of support was met with a wave of approval from her fans, who called her “classy” and “dignified”.

“What a lovely message Lisa, you seem like a nice, caring down to earth lady. You’ll get your happiness back I’m sure of that. We all deserve a little bit of happy xxx,” one fan tweeted.

“What an amazing thing to do Lisa you have held your head high just where it should be. #fantasticlady,” said another.

While freelancer Lisa had previously been employed by the show as a make up artist, she did not return for the new season.

Lisa, who is a BAFTA nominee for her work on Strictly Come Dancing, has worked alongside Ant – and partner Dec – on several shows, including Britain’s Got Talent.

Ant announced the couple’s split in January after months of speculation over the state of their marriage.
