When it comes to similarities, Abby Cohen and Lisa Armstrong have a few things in common – Strictly Come Dancing, a long-term marriage and high profile divorces – but it’s their latest venture, collaborating on new show The Updaters, that has seen them become friends.

The online makeover show works its magic on the heartbroken, divorced, or those whose who simply lack confidence, transforming them into the best version of themselves so they can move on romantically with both a new look and new technique for finding love.

Abby tells us, ‘I hadn’t met Lisa prior to the show, it was only when filming that I met her. We’ve had some tragic, similar situations but I don’t want it to be the “bitter wives club” because that’s absolutely not how it is.’

‘Just because Lisa happens to have had a marriage breakdown like me, it doesn’t mean we’re pals going out drinking every weekend because that’s not the case. We are there to do a job and we are doing it really well.’
