Lisa Armstrong made a rare television appearance on Strictly: It Takes Two, where she spoke about her experiences in the beauty industry. Over the past 17 years, she has become known for creating some of the most iconic looks on the popular show. Following her split from Ant McPartlin in 2018, they have been involved in a protracted custody dispute over their pet dog, Hurley, which has intensified with Ant's new family developments. Ant married Anne-Marie Corbett in 2021, shortly after which they welcomed their son, Wilder. This has reportedly left Lisa feeling betrayed, especially as Hurley has been her source of support during challenging times. While both Lisa and Ant share joint custody of Hurley, Lisa has expressed a desire for full custody, a request that Ant has resisted strongly. They have allegedly arranged for a chauffeur to transport Hurley between their homes to avoid direct contact amid the ongoing custody battle, which stems from their high-profile divorce that reportedly involved substantial financial disputes. While Ant's recent family tree tattoo celebrates his new life, fans noted that Hurley's name is not acknowledged, leading to speculation about the pet's position in Ant's new family dynamic.
