It can’t be easy being Lisa Armstrong at the moment. Not only does she have to watch her ex start a new life with someone else, but it’s all happening in the public eye.

The 47-year-old former popstar, who is now head of make-up and hair on Strictly Come Dancing, has done well to move on following her divorce from Ant McPartlin – but it seems she can’t escape reminders of the past, as stories about her former relationship with the TV presenter continue to circulate.

For a bit of escapism, Lisa usually heads to Los Angeles, a place she has gravitated towards when she has been through challenging times – including a fire at her former marital home. And now there’s talk that a permanent move to LA could be on the cards for Lisa.

“She’s been thinking about making some drastic changes – and LA is a great option for her,” a source told new. “This is a very tough time for her. This time last year she was in a committed relationship [with electrician James Green] and very happy. Thankfully, she’s got a lot of friends and family who are very supportive, as well as Hurley.”

Lisa posted a cryptic late night message on her Instagram Stories earlier this month of a pink background, with a heart in the middle, seemingly reshared from Britney Spears’ account.
