Ant McPartlin's ex-wife has worked on Strictly for 11 years; her current position is head of hair and makeup. Lisa's birthday celebrations come just a week after she and Ant officially ended their marriage. The pair were granted a decree nisi at a Central Family Court hearing in London which lasted just 30 seconds on Tuesday 16 October. Ant had announced the couple's split in January.
