Ant McPartlin confirmed he would be divorcing his wife of 11-years Lisa Armstrong last month.
But, the make-up artist was spotted still wearing her wedding ring last night, after attending a star-studded event held in honour of the late Sir Bruce Forsyth.
Flashing the sparkler as she made her exit from the Bruce: A Celebration event at the London Palladium, the 41-year-old appeared in good spirits.
It comes amid reports the freelance make-up artist has not been invited back to work on this year’s series of Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway.

“But producers just felt having her back this year would be awkward.”
The insider continued: “She works with Stephen a lot and they’re close, just as he’s close with Ant and Dec.
“But because of the set-up at the studios it would be impossible for Lisa and Ant to avoid spending lots of time in the same room.
“Ant would never have asked for her to leave but in the circumstances the production team just felt it could be difficult so felt they couldn’t invite her back on.

“It’s a very sensitive situation and show bosses didn’t want to inflame it.”
Ant and Dec hit the headlines last month, after Scarlett was caught sending a saucy snap to the Britain’s Got Talent presenters.
