Lisa Armstrong longed for a baby with Ant. But she found out he was having a child with his new wife Anne-Marie Colbert on MailOnline. Here, her friends describe her 'two years of hell' in heartbreaking detail...


The news came after Christmas. Lisa Armstrong was able to convince herself it was another bit of gossip: there had been plenty of that since she'd split from her former husband Ant McPartlin.
