Lisa Armstrong warmly greets Mel Giedroyc at a dog show with pup Hurley

She recently holidayed in Ibiza for her niece’s 21st birthday ahead of the finalisation of her multi-million-pound divorce settlement with ex Ant McPartlin.  

And Lisa Armstrong appeared in great spirits as she took their beloved pet Hurley to the 2019 Chiswick House Dog Show in London on Sunday afternoon.

Alongside her adorable brown Labrador, Strictly Come Dancing’s make-up artist, 42, was in good company as she hugged former Bake Off presenter Mel Giedroyc on arrival at the animal event.

Opting for a typically casual display, the Oxford native sported a navy blue zip-up jumper, complete with red and white panels.

The former Saturday Night Takeaway make-up supervisor teamed her top with a pair of denim harem-style jeans, and injected a touch of sparkle into her outfit with gold platform trainers.

Carrying her belongings in a mini cross-body bag, the BBC star rounded off her appearance with circular-framed shades, and opted for minimal make-up.

Meanwhile, Lisa is reportedly fighting for half of Ant’s £62million fortune and the two are expected to meet for the first time since their acrimonious split over the next few weeks.

Although they were awarded a divorce in January, they remain at logger heads over a final financial settlement.

Earlier this year, it was reported that host Ant was willing to pay wife Lisa £31million in Britain’s priciest celebrity divorce settlement in order to end their 12-year marriage amicably. 

But since then, sources close to the pair say they have reached a stalemate and lawyers from both sides are now due to sit down with them in an attempt to resolve the matter with legal costs already having soared to £1.5million.

Ant and Lisa were set to go head to head at London’s Royal Courts of Justice last November, but he failed to show and was ticked off by the judge. 

The BGT presenter was then reported to be stunned when she prevented him from entering their former marital home to collect his belongings.

Former singer Lisa continues to live in the £2.3million property they once shared in west London, which she is also expected to receive. 

According to some reports, she is also seeking half of his future earnings and the total amount could result in a £155 million pay-out.
