Amid the reports Lisa liked a post about being ‘cheated on’ and ‘heartbroken’ on Twitter.
The tweet which Lisa has liked, read: ‘Good luck for your future, I split with my man 2 years after 19 years as he had an affair.

A source told The Sun: ‘It’s been an extremely difficult road with a lot of heartache and unpleasantness, but it’s finally done. It’s over.
‘Ant’s been desperate to start the next chapter of his life and at least now he and Anne-Marie can plan for the future. It won’t be long before they are married.’
