Saturday Night Takeaway star Dec Donnelly reportedly reached out to Lisa Armstrong, ex of presenting partner Ant McPartlin, following their split.
According to a tabloid report from June 2018, Dec texted Lisa – who married Ant in 2006 – to tell her: “Be strong.”
Makeup artist Lisa and Ant confirmed they would be divorcing in January 2018. The decree nisi was granted in October of that year.
But ahead of the final stage of their marriage split going through, Dec was said to have been “torn” by Ant and Lisa’s divorce battle.

He is said to have messaged Lisa: “You know where I am if you need to talk. Be strong.”
