Ant McPartlin's ex, Lisa Armstrong, has fired off a cryptic warning on Instagram, declaring she's "ruthless when p****d off" amidst personal turmoil.

The 47 year old former Deuce singer is grappling with the news that her ex-husband, Ant, has just had his first child with Anne-Marie Corbett, who was once close to Lisa. The makeup artist hasn't publicly addressed the baby announcement.

She recently raised eyebrows with a cryptic message via her Instagram Stories, writing: "Completely ruthless when p****d off," followed by a string of laughing emojis.

Amidst speculation of an impending custody clash over the dog she co-owns with Ant, Lisa has been spotted enjoying time with friends. The pair, who divorced in 2018 after a 12-year marriage during which Lisa supported Ant through his struggles with addiction, co-parent their chocolate Labrador, Hurley.

Despite their joint custody arrangement since their high-profile split, sources suggest a shift may be on the horizon.

A source confided to The Sun about the canine, saying: "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.", reports the Mirror.

In the swirl of speculation, fans are convinced that Lisa has been dropping veiled comments about Ant's recent personal developments through enigmatic social media posts. One poignant message she shared stated: "Be proud of how you have been handling these past few months. The silent battles you've fought, the moments you've had to humble yourself, the times you've wiped your own tears. Celebrate your strength."

She also posted a quote attributed to the iconic Winston Churchill: "I no longer listen to what people say, I just watch what they do. Behaviour never lies."

Judi James, an expert in social behaviour and relationships, interpreted Lisa's updates as subtle signals to her followers, suggesting her initial "big hint" emerged after the birth, resembling a supportive nudge someone might have sent her way.

Anne-Marie, was a long-time colleague of Ant before their relationship blossomed. The mother-of-two belonged to the same management firm as Ali Astall, the wife of Declan Donnelly, but began working directly with Ant only in 2017.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2021, shared their delightful baby news in May with the birth of their son, Wilder Patrick, whom Ant proudly proclaimed was "beautiful". While fans rushed to send their well-wishes, Lisa has not spoken publicly.
