In a bombshell twist that has reignited one of the most emotional scandals in British showbiz, Clare Buckfield, the former long-term girlfriend of Declan Donnelly, has spoken out publicly to stand by Lisa Armstrong — and to expose the heartbreaking truth behind Ant McPartlin’s betrayal and Lisa’s years of private agony trying to become a mother. 💔

Lisa, the talented makeup artist who once shared a decade of love and loyalty with Ant, was left devastated when it emerged that he had found comfort in the arms of Anne-Marie Corbett — a woman Lisa had trusted completely.

The revelation didn’t just end a marriage — it shattered a woman who had stood silently by her husband’s side through years of addiction, rehab, and recovery.

“My friend and OUR PA who I let into OUR home,” Lisa tweeted bitterly after the affair came to light.
“Thanks babe… and to think she was MY friend!” 💬

The message, raw and trembling with heartbreak, sent shockwaves across social media — and for the first time, the public saw the pain behind Lisa’s calm public persona.

“ALWAYS” — THE WORD THAT SHOOK FANS

As fans rushed to comfort Lisa, one message stood out above all: a quiet show of solidarity from Clare Buckfield, Dec Donnelly’s ex-girlfriend of ten years, who knows all too well the price of fame and heartbreak.

A supporter tagged both Lisa and Clare in a message reading:

“Love you doll — you’ll be okay, promise. Me and @ClareBuckfield will make sure of that.”

Clare replied with a single word that said everything:

“Always.” ❤️

It was short — but deeply powerful. Two women, both connected to the same world, both betrayed by trust, and both now refusing to stay silent.

THE TRUTH BEHIND LISA’S PAIN

Behind Lisa’s heartbreak lay a hidden struggle that few outside her closest circle ever knew.
For years, Lisa had been battling infertility, enduring multiple failed IVF cycles while balancing the strain of Ant’s growing personal problems.

A source close to the couple revealed:

“Lisa wanted nothing more than to start a family. She was going through rounds of treatment, hoping and praying it would work. She put her body through everything, but it just wasn’t happening. It broke her heart.”

The emotional toll was enormous — and yet, Lisa never gave up. Even as her marriage crumbled under the weight of addiction, pressure, and fame, she held onto the dream of motherhood.

“When she found out about Anne-Marie,” another insider shared, “it wasn’t just the betrayal of a friend or a husband. It was the loss of the life she’d been fighting for — the family she’d dreamed of building.”

WHEN FRIENDSHIP TURNED INTO FURY

Lisa and Anne-Marie had once been close. Anne-Marie wasn’t just a colleague — she was someone Lisa welcomed into her home, trusted with her secrets, and leaned on during her husband’s recovery.

So when the romance between Ant and Anne-Marie was revealed, it cut deeper than any betrayal could.

“She was heartbroken,” said a friend. “Anne-Marie was like family — she’d been part of their inner circle. The idea that Ant could fall for her was unthinkable.”

That betrayal reignited old bonds — like the quiet friendship between Lisa and Clare Buckfield.

Clare, who had dated Dec Donnelly for a decade during the height of Ant & Dec’s fame, understood what it meant to lose yourself in the shadow of the men who ruled British television.

“They both loved men adored by millions, but fame has a cruel way of changing what love feels like,” one insider noted.

 LISA’S HIDDEN YEARS OF SILENCE

After her split from Ant in 2018, Lisa withdrew from public life. For months, she avoided interviews, choosing instead to focus on healing privately. Friends say she poured her energy into her work, charity projects, and quiet moments of reflection — a way of rebuilding herself piece by piece.

But the pain of infertility lingered — a reminder of everything she lost.

“She’d see people talking about Ant moving on and smiling again, and it hurt,” a source explained. “She felt erased — as if no one knew the depth of what she’d been through just to hold onto love.”

Clare Buckfield’s simple word — “Always” — meant more to Lisa than fans could imagine. It wasn’t just support; it was validation. Someone finally understood that her story was about more than heartbreak — it was about survival.

 REBIRTH AFTER RUIN

Today, Lisa Armstrong has found peace again. Surrounded by genuine friends and a loving new partner, she’s rediscovered her smile — one that shines brighter than ever before.

“She’s living proof that even after betrayal, love can return in unexpected ways,” a close friend said. “She’s no longer defined by the past — she’s defined by her strength.”

And as for her dream of motherhood — Lisa hasn’t given up. Sources close to her say she never stopped believing in miracles.

“She used to say, ‘My time will come.’ Maybe now, it finally has,” one insider whispered. 🌈

 One fan summed up the public’s emotion perfectly:

“Lisa’s story isn’t just about heartbreak — it’s about courage. She lost everything, but somehow, she found herself again.”
