Following her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing's It Takes Two on Tuesday night, Lisa, 41, appeared to suggest she was ready to start afresh.

Yesterday, she 'liked' a number of supportive tweets directed at her.

One read: " I have been impressed by how well you've held yourself this year in what must have been a bloody hideous time."

Another said: " glad to see that your career is blooming...Good luck with everything new and glam."

It comes as Lisa was granted a divorce in just 30 seconds earlier this week over the I'm A Celebrity star's adultery and because he was "intolerable to live with".

The estranged couple's 11-year marriage came to an end after a judge issued a decree nisi during a hearing which lasted just 30 seconds.

A source said: “It’s taken some time to iron things out but after several months their marriage will officially be over in a matter of seconds.”

Ant, 42, raised no objections to Lisa's claims, and neither attended the hearing at London's Central Family Court.

But The Sun can reveal the pair are set to clash over Lisa's refusal to sign a non-disclosure agreement to stop her talking about Ant's behaviour.

The former teenage sweethearts, who announced their split in January with an emotional statement, are thrashing out a settlement over his £62million fortune.

But Strictly make-up artist Lisa won't agree to be gagged as part of any deal, telling pals: “I will not be silenced."

A source said: “It isn’t about money for Lisa. It’s about principles. She's done nothing wrong during the marriage.

"So why should she sign a piece of paper that effectively prevents her from revealing details of her marriage.

“She is determined to speak out at some point. She won’t be gagged.”

Troubled Ant has been battling prescription drug addiction and was fined £86,000 in March after a drink drive smash.

Lisa filed for divorce after the Sun on Sunday revealed Ant's new relationship with their personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, 42, in June.

Court documents state that Judge Alun Jenkins "held that the respondent has committed adultery and that the petitioner finds it intolerable to live with the respondent".

Unless "sufficient cause be shown" within six weeks, the marriage will be dissolved with a decree absolute.

The judge also ordered that Any pay Lisa's court costs.

Since their split in January, their messy break up has played out in the public eye, with Strictly Come Dancing make up artist Lisa making a number of public jibes about their broken marriage.

Lisa even liked a 3am tweet from a fan who said her dog Harley "has her back".
