‘I cannot see Lisa being pleased’ says Ant McPartlin’s step dad as he reveals star’s happiness at baby news
ANT McPartlin’s stepdad has revealed the TV stars ex-wife Lisa Armstrong ‘won’t be pleased’ by his baby news.
The Sun revealed how Ant, 48, is set to become a dad for the first time with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, 46.
Ant confided in his best mate Declan Donnelly about the pregnancy.
Now the Saturday Night Takeaway presenter’s stepfather has broken his silence on the news.
David Woodhall, who was married to Ant’s mum Christine, said: “He will make a good dad. He’s good with the girls so he’ll be great.
“He’s still not drinking and he’s got his life. He’s very happy I think. I’m over the moon.”
However, David also gave an insight into how Ant’s ex-wife Lisa Armstrong must be feeling at the news.
He exclusively told The Sun: “I cannot see her being pleased.”
Ant and the Strictly Come Dancing makeup artist split up in 2018 after 11 years.
Lisa has not yet publicly spoken about Ant and Anne-Marie’s baby news.
Ant previously revealed his desire to have his own children.
He said: “Lisa and I would love to have kids. We’re trying.
“It’s tougher than you think when you get older.”
Anne-Marie formerly worked as a personal assistant to Ant and Lisa and grew close to the star during his well documented alcohol and prescription drug addictions, and has frequently described Anne-Marie as his “rock”.
Ant has since developed a strong bond with Anne-Marie’s two teenage daughters, raising them as a family in South West London.
Rumours have been circling for months that the couple might be expecting – but they have never been confirmed or denied.
