Ant McPartlin ’s ex Lisa Armstrong was the “peacemaker” during a gruelling eight hours of talks as they sealed the deal on their divorce, a source has claimed.
The make-up artist, 43, is reported to have moved talks forward from a date at the end of January to last Tuesday so that a divorce deal could finally be made.
The talks were reportedly arranged to finalised the details of their split, where Lisa was allegedly handed a £31million pay out.
She’s also said to be keeping the £5 million mansion in West London where they lived together as a couple.
Lisa has denied to comment on the exact amount she was awarded in the divorce settlement and branded the reports “nonsense”.

Lisa and Ant were happily together for 23 years; they were married in 2006 and announced their break-up in 2018.
The pair got a divorce in a 30-second hearing last October.
It was claimed their relationship crumbled because of Ant’s battle with alcohol, their gruelling work schedules and the couple growing apart from each other.
Ahead of the final talks, Lisa was snapped walking into a building in London, believed to be her lawyer’s office, while wearing a brown furry coat and big sunglasses.
Lisa appeared to be in good spirits as she arrived at 10.30am and it is claimed she didn’t step out again until 6.30pm.

A source told the Sun Lisa was the “peacemaker” in the chat, saying: “It was civil, nice and pleasant throughout and by the end of it all they can now move forward with their lives.
“She was certainly the peacemaker but there was willingness on both sides to press ahead and move on.”
They added: “It’s a massive relief for Ant — and Dec — as it’s been hanging over both of them for such a long time.”
In stark contrast, Lisa made her feelings clear on Saturday after liking a tweet which branded her ex “s****y and spineless” amid their divorce battle.
The tweet read: “I bet the money means nothing in some respects, it certainly can’t buy the respect she deserves or make up for the s****y spineless way he scurried off & tried to silence her.
“Whatever the sum is I’m sure it will be put to much better use & I wish her all the best.”
Lisa, who works on Strictly Come Dancing , also liked tweets in which people praised the way she was handling the difficult situation.
Mirror Online has contacted Ant’s reps for comment.
