Lisa Armstrong enjoyed a night out in town with her friends after being spotted looking glam in a series of snaps on Saturday. This comes after it was reported the 47-year-old is set to fight for custody of her pet Labrador she shares with Britain's Got Talent star Ant McPartlin.

Make-up artist Lisa showed off her stunning sense of style in a pair of semi-sheer black lace trousers which she teamed with a black blouse and a white floral design. In her signature look her hair was slicked back off her face in an updo.

Appearing in high spirits she was seen holding a drink and smiling as she stood alongside two friends. Taking to social media the brunette documented her evening out.

Lisa later took to Instagram and uploaded a cryptic post which read to her 171,000 followers: "If it makes you happy then it's not a waste of time." This comes after the bitter and messy break-up from ITV presenter Ant, 48.

It has been said that years later the pair continue to battle - even after the recent announcement of the birth of his first son. Which is all over their four-legged pooch, Hurley, which they see on alternate dates.

Following a brief getaway to Portugal last week, Lisa was reunited with her beloved dog.

This followed after the revelation that Lisa is gearing up for a potential clash with her ex, Ant, over who gets full custody of their 10-year-old canine.

Hurley currently divides his time between Lisa's abode and the residence of Ant and his wife Anne-Marie, who recently gave birth to newborn Wilder.

A report from The Sun suggests that Lisa is now seeking sole guardianship of Hurley, who has become her "lifeline".

An insider commented: "She really had to fight Ant for him, which she still is annoyed about as he got other dogs with Anne-Marie and now she would just like Hurley to live with her full-time."

"Ant obviously loves Hurley as well but he now has a lot of other responsibilities and things going on in his life and Lisa can't see why she can't have full custody of him," they continued.

The source adds that Hurley has provided immense support to Lisa amidst her separation from the television personality.

Lisa and Ant separated back in 2018 after 11 years of marriage - but never had children together, which they both struggled with.

However, he has since gone on to not only become a stepfather to Anne-Marie's, 47, daughter but also re-marry and fulfil his dream of becoming a dad.
