The separation between Ant McPartlin and Lisa Armstrong appears to have taken a bitter turn.
Ant is now seeing the couple’s former PA Anne-Marie Corbett.
Lisa is reported to have gone into the home she and Ant shared and told Anne-Marie to leave.
“Lisa snapped,” a source told The Sun.
“She sacked Anne-Marie, told her to clear up her stuff and leave. They’ve not spoken since.”
News broke last week that Ant and Anne-Marie were seeing one another.
The story prompted a number of angry tweets from Lisa, who said that Anne Marie had been her friend as well as the couple’s personal assistant.
She also revealed that she’d only learned of the relationship when the story came out in the press.

Anne-Marie, a separated mum-of-two, has ‘put Ant back together again’ after his struggle with addiction and a drink-driving incident, a source said.
“He’s had a tough time of it, but Anne-Marie has put a smile back on his face again,” the source said.
“She has been his rock. They have been living in each other’s pockets, day in, day out.
“Knowing someone is there for him has brought him back from the brink — she’s put him back together again.
“It’s very early days, but everyone is hoping he can put the worst year of his life behind him and find happiness again. Both of them deserve it.”
Ant and Lisa announced that they were going their separate ways in January after over 23 years together and 11 years of marriage.
