Lisa Armstrong toasts another successful season of Strictly as she leaves the wrap party with a giant suitcase in skin-tight leather trousers
Lisa Armstrong was seen leaving the Strictly wrap party with a massive suitcase in the early hours of Sunday morning, having celebrated with colleagues to toast another successful season of the stalwart BBC show.
The make-up artist, 43, who is still going through a messy divorce with ex Ant McPartlin, wrapped up against the chill in a large coat with a fur-lined hoop, which covered a slink jade blouse and skin-tight leather trousers.
She wore chunky heeled boots and slung a Louis Vuitton bag over one arm, wheeling the Disney-themed suitcase along behind her.

Lisa slicked her blonde mane back and showcased a flawless face of make-up – a honeyed complexion, a dusting of pale eye-shadow and thick luscious lashes.
Lisa’s best friend Craig Robert Young recently vowed to help her find love again amid her ongoing divorce battle with ex Ant.
Last month, the former Deuce star was reportedly hoping that Lisa would hit it off with one of his male pals according to Closer magazine.
He is also believed to be encouraging her to use dating apps as he tries to get her to move on from her failed marriage.

Lisa has apparently agreed that ‘now is as good as time as any’ to begin her hunt for a new man after Ant moved on with his new partner Anne-Marie Corbett.
Lisa reportedly refused to sign a non-disclosure agreement preventing her discussing her 12 year marriage to Ant, as the pair’s £62 million divorce battle rages on.
According to The Sun, I’m A Celebrity presenter Ant asked make-up artist Lisa to sign a gagging order to protect his reputation, and will not agree a final financial settlement if this does not happen.

However, Lisa, who tied the knot with Ant in 2006, has allegedly vowed she ‘won’t be silenced’ and rejected the NDA.
Ant’s solicitors are said to be sending regular legal letters to Lisa with his bill thought to have surpassed the £1.5 million mark.
The presenter’s solicitors are said to be determined to keep details of the divorce private and stop proceedings reaching court – where it is feared information about the pair’s relationship will be brought into the public domain.
A source told the website: ‘Lisa is an honest, loyal and decent human being. She isn’t interested in how much money she gets.
‘She won’t sign an NDA. As far as she’s concerned, he is welcome to his money.

‘It’s not about that for her. She’s appalled at the way she has been treated ever since they split up, by people she loved, trusted and called friends.’
A source close to Ant is also said to have told the website that he has agreed to a second formal arbitration with Lisa.
They said he is not trying to pressure her to sign the NDA and that he will sign one too to stop the case going to court.

The website also claims that Ant has not been allowed back into the £6m Chiswick, West London home by Lisa – which she currently lives in – since he left rehab and he has been unable to pick up personal belongings.
The source added that Ant was hoping to get the details finalised before he headed to Australia for I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here and has made Lisa an ‘incredibly generous offer.’
They said that Ant is now ‘genuinely worried’ about what could happen in court as Lisa knows ‘where all his skeletons are buried.’
The star is also said to be keen to protect his cherished public image – after rebuilding his brand following a conviction for drink-driving in 2018 and battles with alcohol and prescription drug addictions.

Finally the source added that Ant is keen to agree a settlement so the pair can move on from the ‘incredibly draining’ period in their lives.
Meanwhile, Kelvin Fletcher looked more than pleased with himself as he was snapped leaving the Strictly Come Dancing 2019 wrap party in the early hours of Sunday morning, not long after Lisa.
