Ant McPartlin's ex-wife puts five-bed west London mansion on market for £4million

Ant McPartlin’s ex-wife has put the Chiswick mansion where the couple once lived on the market for £4million.

It comes eight months after a fire tore through the five-bedroom property in leafy Grove Park Gardens, which lies near the River Thames.

The property belongs to Lisa Armstrong, TV presenter McPartlin’s ex-wife, who works as a hair and make-up expert on BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.

I’m a Celebrity and Britain’s Got Talent co-host McPartlin, 48, has not lived there since the couple separated in 2018, it is understood.

When a fire broke out in the property in September, a photographer from the Daily Mirror reported McPartlin’s former home was being rented by a family of six who had a nanny.

Ms Armstrong, 47, is understood to have acquired the house as part of a £31million divorce settlement.

The couple reportedly paid £2.3 million for the house in 2006, the year they married. McPartlin’s best friend and TV co-host Declan Donnelly lives nearby with his family.

A source told The Sun: “There are obviously lots of memories attached to the house.

"Lisa has long since moved on but this is essentially the last connection she has from her marriage to Ant.”

They said Ms Armstrong had bought another home nearby, to which she added a gym and swimming pool.

"She rented the former marital home out, but after last year's fire gutted a back bedroom she doesn't want the hassle anymore,” they added.

The house was listed on Rightmove on Saturday, marketed by estate agency Stirling Ackroyd.

Photos show some parts of the home remain damaged following the fire, but show off the property’s palatial rooms including a large kitchen and dining room with skylights.

The 4,700sq ft property boasts five double bedrooms, a cinema and games room, a bar area, a gym room with its own shower, and a large garden with an outdoor kitchen and covered eating area featuring its own TV.

The listing describes it as “a substantial double fronted family home” in “a sought-after residential road within the Grove Park area of Chiswick”.

“This exclusive property is presented in excellent condition in parts although, some work is required in order to put it back to its original state,” it adds.

McPartlin and Ms Armstrong wed in 2006, and were married 12 years before their split in 2018.

McPartlin went on to marry his former personal assistant Anne-Marie Corbett in a star-studded ceremony in 2021. The couple are expecting their first child together.

Ms Corbett has two daughters from a previous marriage, but McPartlin is set to become a father for the first time.

Britain’s Got Talent presenter McPartlin, from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, has previously described Ms Corbett as his “rock” after she supported him following his 2018 drink-driving arrest and stint in rehab.
