Lisa Armstrong is reportedly planning a move to the USA amid plans to put her failed relationships behind her.
The 47-year-old make-up artist, who works on Strictly Come Dancing, was famously married to I’m A Celebrity host Ant McPartlin, 48, from 2006 until 2018.
Lisa reportedly earned a huge £31 million payoff in her divorce settlement – and then went on to date an electrician named James Green, 40.
The former couple reportedly split in August – with Lisa threatening legal action against James, claiming he owed her £100,000.
It has now been claimed she is planning to fly to Los Angeles in January to spend time with her actor friend Craig Young.
In addition, she will reportedly be looking for work while out in the US.
A source told Closer magazine: “Lisa’s had a really rough time of it recently and she’s been in a dark place. While she’s got Strictly to distract her now, she hasn’t got a lot on her schedule in the months after Christmas and is starting to dread that quiet time when she finally stops and has time to process everything.
“She’s been planning a trip out to LA to see her pal Craig Young. She loves it every time she goes there and really needs that boost right now. And it could lead to something more permanent – she’s debated moving there before, and now with her recent split she’s seriously considering it.”
The source also claimed Lisa wants to escape the heartbreak she has faced in recent years.
The source said: “Going through the heartbreak of a split is painful enough, as Lisa well knows, but to have the stress and drama of a legal battle on top, it’s pushed her to the brink and she feels as if she’s reliving her divorce from Ant all over again.
“While she’s trying her best to throw herself into work on Strictly, behind closed doors she’s at rock bottom and struggling to keep going.”
They also suggested it is difficult for Lisa at this time of year because Ant is splashed all over the news and on screens every night due to his role on the long-running reality show I’m A Celeb.
The source concluded by saying Lisa is looking ahead to 2024 and keeping her options open – with the idea of moving to the USA high on her list of resolutions.
