The Ant and Dec star’s estranged spouse has been pictured for the first time since the troubled presenter was involved in a car crash and later arrested in south west London on Sunday.
The photos, taken on Wednesday, showed the freelance make-up artist arriving at work in south east London.
Lisa, who is currently working on the latest series of Britain’s Got Talent, was greeted by Stavros Flatley dancer Demi Demetriou.
The performer, who found fame in a past series of the ITV show, could be seen wrapping his arm around Lisa as he gave her a hug.
Looking relaxed in blue jeans and a furry coat, she gathered her belongings in readiness for the day ahead.
Another shot showed the star smoking outside the filming venue.
Ant announced he would be filing for a divorce from his wife of 11-years back in January.
Earlier this week, Lisa shut down reporters outside her home, after her estranged husband was arrested amid reports he had failed a road-side breathalyser test.

But despite refusing to comment on the news, Lisa showed support for her colleague Declan Donnelly, who has revealed he will return to the small screen next week without his TV partner.
The 41-year-old freelancer liked ITV’s statement which confirmed the final two episodes of the Saturday Night Takeaway series will go ahead.
She also responded to a message posted on Piers Morgan’s Twitter account, by liking the post which wished Dec good luck.
“Good decision,” the tweet read. “Best of luck to Dec. Won't be easy but he's doing the right thing, as I'm sure Ant would agree.”

In a post shared on Ant and Dec’s joint Twitter account, Dec wrote: “Whilst I never thought I'd be in this position, after much discussion and careful consideration we've decided that the remaining two shows of this series of Saturday Night Takeaway will go ahead.”
Referring to a competition from the show, he went on: “We made a promise to take hundreds of deserving winners to Florida to watch the series finale, and we will honour that.
“Everyone at ITV and the Takeaway team feels we owe it to the audience to complete the series.”
Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway continues next Saturday on ITV.
